Documentary's



Workers leave the factory - This is a short film and workers leaving the factory, it is one of the first ever film made. It is real and shows workings walking out of the door of the factory. This was very truthful.

Night mail - This follows the adventure of a train that is carrying mail. We see everything from the train leaving, a person changing the tracks, to the train travelling around. This isn't completely true as it shows different angles to the same thing happening which can only be done is the thing is done multiple times. We even see an aerial shot of the train travelling which is impossible for that time so a model train was filmed on a model track. This wasn't very truthful.

Bowling for Columbine - We only saw the opening scene form this documentary. In the scene we saw a guy go into a bank and get a gun. This is showing how easy it is in America to get a gun, you get even get one at a bank. The interviewer cheats a little and only shows the viewer some of the events and then show them how easy it is to get a gun rather than all the paper work that's involved. This is the twisted truth because it's only seen how it was supposed to and not the full truth.

Louis and the Nazis - Louis visits Nazis in America and shows us that they still exists and how many there are. He tries to understand why they think what they do. He visits a public figure for the Nazis and a family of a mum and two daughters who sing racist songs. This is truth.

The Thin Blue Line - This is about the justice system and how it can fail really badly. It is about a wrongly convicted murder and someone who did the murder. We saw eyewitnesses, police, both people, judges and lawyers. This was truthful but we only saw what people think they saw so it wasn't all truth.
