This class examines film and digital media as tools for social change. We will view powerful examples of documentary film and other forms of digital media that address the most critical issues in our global society. We will discuss controversial issues in a constructive environment, with special attention to media literacy and the search for solutions. Each year we discuss our rapidly changing world, exploring vast leaps in media and technology, and digesting the explosion of information that reflects and defines the human experience. In this digital age, how can we increase our ability to understand and engage in the world around us? How can technology empower us to become more active citizens? What kind of world do we want to live in, and how can we focus our efforts to have a positive impact?
