Question: This extra credit assignment is for all or nothing credit. Every question must be answered thoroughly to receive the points and it must be clear that you watched the movie and have an understanding of what took place. If I have any questions as to thoroughness, no points will be awarded. For most questions, expect to answer with a minimum of three sentences to get credit. You may not work in groups (other than watching the movie together) for this assignment. If all questions are thoroughly answered, you will receive 20 points. Your answers must be submitted to the dropbox in a readable format (check elearn requirements for this) or I will not award credit. You will not be allowed to resubmit if I cannot read your file. I will not accept late papers for this assignment and it will be added to your final grade points.

You must choose from one of the following documentaries and answer questions listed below about them. If you do not watch the movie you will not be able to answer these in a thorough manner and, like the documentary 13th, I feel like these may benefit you in some way.

Choose one of the following documentaries (likely found on Netflix, hulu or by googling):

1. Terry Prachett: choosing to die (found on vimeo or by googling - it's approximately 60 minutes)

2. Dear Zachary

3. Miss Sharon Jones!

4. Keep on Keepin' on

5. The Green Prince

6. Man vs. Snake

7. Girlhood (2003)

8. Brother's Keeper

9. Lo and Behold: Reveries of the connected world

10. The Witness (2016)

11. The Black Power Mixtape, 1967-1975

12. The Imposter (2012)

13. Bowling for Columbine

14. There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane

15. Boy Interrupted

16. The Bridge (2006)

17. How to die in Oregon

As you can see, you have many options, I recommend checking the ratings to allow for discrimination for things you may not want to see: gore, violence, assault, death, etc. For example, in There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane, you will see a dead body. In Terry Prachett's Choosing to Die, you watch the process of someone dying. If you don't want to see these things, please check in advance as to what is contained.
