How to Watch A Documentary

[Frank W. Baker]

Excerpt:  "Every image was persuasive text. Every creative decision was an ethical
judgment. Every opportunity to move viewers was also a chance to
manipulate them." The author touches on juxtaposition, decontextualization, inclusion and exclusion: all film and media literacy concepts. Read it in the March/April UTNE Reader.

Awesome! I teach Lee's "When the Levees Broke" for my documented argument unit, and while we have these discussions about the construction of argument through film, having an article like this to start the discussion will be fantastic!
