“Explain It” is an essay in MLA format on a film topic of your choice. You may pick a film that we have already covered in class, or a film outside of class. The only parameters are that it be a documentary, it may be a film or a documentary series. If you choose a documentary series then you need to watch the entire series and that needs to be clear in your analysis. You need a lens of analysis in which to discuss your topic. For example, if you would like to discuss Michael Moore’s influence on documentary cinema by analyzing a couple of his films like Roger & Me (1989) and/or Bowling for Columbine (2002). Or if you would like to discuss sensationalistic documentary biographies, like Mucho Mucho Amor: the Legend of Walter Mercado (2020) directed by Cristina Costantini and Kareem Tabsch, Dolly Parton: Here I Am (2019) directed by Francis Whately and Navalny (2022 directed by Daniel Roher and how they shape public opinion. For your works cited you need at least 3 academic sources (which means peer-reviewed) in addition to the film(s) you will cite. (50 points)
