Documentaries

Many documentaries create the appearance of being objective, but they rarely are.  Nowadays, most documentaries have a point of view or something they are trying to persuade their audience to do, think, or change.


Being able to decern between objective reporting, and subjective arguments is a crucial skill to hone as you develop your opinions, beliefs, and understanding of the world around you. Pay attention to how filmmakers use visual rhetoric to make their arguments more persuasive.
