Elizabeth Hanly

This course sets out to untie the knot we are living. It presumes that we can agree that Frontline, a documentary series aired on the Public Broadcasting Network, is a reliable source, or at least a place to begin. We will watch current and archival Frontline documentaries dealing with international issues affecting America. After reflecting on each documentary, students will look to see how a range of different news sources — both from the right and the left as well as the “mainstream” —covered the same issue.
