For this assignment, choose and view one of the documentaries from the course. Submit a critical review demonstrating your understanding/perspective of “othering”, how this concept/practice is at play in the chosen film, and your how social inequality more generally is addressed, challenged, and/or reinforced.
analyze such things as:
how this is done
if it is effective
if there are aspects that do not align or seem weak (perhaps contradictions)
if there are elements that are missed or that too much emphasis is placed on (distractors)
if Othering and/or Others is/are clearly addressed and in what ways (and why or why not)
how the filmmaker's social position may contribute to, alter, or impede the message
how the chosen elements/examples in the film may limit or aid the content and focus
any other observations that relate to the general focus of the course and social inequality more generally
So, in short, you are asked to review the film for its efficacy in explaining and informing the viewer about its chosen topic, as it relates to the social inequality, and Othering more generally.
