I think people have really put out some interesting ideas for a documentary for this course.
I believe “Criminal at the Age of 5” is a great story to take on because it is pressing and urgent, but it should have a bit more nuance in terms of how does it impact these students past the threatening of their human rights. This doc could touch on so many themes and issues that are currently pressing and I would love to see its outcome.
“Center City Thrift” is also a very interesting documentary because it’s a complex juxtaposition of a thrift store offering free wifi and would be an interesting story to unfold. Most people go to thrift shops to find clothes at better prices, so to provide free wifi is a very particular and beneficial decision for all. There are many questions that could be asked for this documentary, as well as so much visual potential.
“Gifted Youngin’s” could also be an interesting documentary, especially in terms of how the youth find success reachable in places that may not provide the best outlets for long-term success and network.
