California State University Northridge Broken Rainbow Plea Documentary Discussion
Question Description
You are to write reviews of four of these films. These films come from many genres, including comedy. Many should be available in our library. Others should be available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Play, etc. Renting some of them may be the only incidental cost of this class. Renting four of these films should cost somewhere around 20 dollars in total, this is accounted for in the price of this paper. Your job is to watch them and then find a way to review them (two pages double-spaced for each review) that shows youre seeing the ethical problems shown in the films. It should be partly fun and partly serious education. Not all the suggested questions will be relevant to every movie in that category and are provided only as suggestions to get you started. Some films may appear in more than one category but you can only count them one time. Always watch an earlier version of any film.
