Genocide documentary/workshop

documentary-freelance

When researching a genocide of your choice, look for the “story within a story” to bring your documentary to life.

Requirements:

  • 2-3 minutes maximum
  • Voice-over must be written and approved by teacher (2-3 pages double-spaced)
  • Movies/research must be cited and included both in the video and printed out
  • Due: Friday, February 21st

Primary source needed:

Look for the story within the genocide. A personal account of someone who lived through the experience will enhance your documentary. Whether it be a written account or an interview look for a way to make your documentary anything but simply a content-filled showing that could simply be found online or in a textbook.
