PO 360 - Film and Politics


The cultural and political power of film is unique. Films reinforce or break stereotypes, rewrite history, encourage dissent, or enforce conformity. This course will focus on politically relevant and engaged films from China, India, France, Latin America, and the U.S. in order to understand the political context of each film and its contribution to ongoing debates, and to reveal national mythmaking in the social and political assumptions that inform storytelling in the movies.
