Watch the film and then write a short (1-2 page) response to the content. In your response, include a very brief overview of the content of the film. Also include your thoughts about the content, for example what did you learn about the subject that you didn’t know before and did the film make you think differently about the subject. Your reflections on the film should show that you paid close attention to it and thought critically about it. If you like you may explain why you do or don’t agree with the film.
