As preparation for writing, you will need to watch the film more than once, and take notes as you watch it. Try to answer these questions:
On first viewing:
-Where does the film take place?
-Who are the people who are given a voice?
-What did you learn through this documentary?
-What are the time frames in which the different events documented occur? -Why is it a documentary and not a narrative film?
On second viewing:
-Select a significant moment or scene in the documentary that engages directly with historically useful information
-Which elements of film form help convey this information in a powerful way?
