Category: Film Analysis (relating to our course themes and readings): A two-page film/documentary analysis (or analysis of any of the primary sources in our Wood and Alexander reader that you were not assigned). See one of the following films, clipped below and analyze two or three major themes from it, tying it to our course material, making connections to our lectures, our themes and specifically, our readings (not Wikipedias or some random website).
* A two page analysis of the film “Even the Rain (Links to an external site.)”(Tambien la Lluvia), a 2010 film by Icar Bollan, and our Chasteen Ch. 11 Neoliberalism.
