Find a documentary film that accurately discusses one of the major topics covered in the course (from the Scientific Revolution through the 21stcentury). And then find a Hollywood film that covers the same topic. Provide a brief summary/overview of each film. You will point out the accuracies and failings of BOTH films in terms of historical fact, concluding with your overall assessment of each film’s effectiveness as a historical tool for contemporary audiences. Make sure you include relevant info, such as the year filmed and perhaps the director/country of origin. You may want to consider the role propaganda could play. Discuss which film does a better job of getting people interested in history and explain your choice.
Cite both films and show me how you found them (a URL site, Netflix, etc.)
For background info you may wish to consult your textbook. If you use other sources please make sure you include a Works Cited page.
Your essay should be at least 3 ½ pages long, typed, one-inch margins, double-spaced, in 12 pt font, Times New Roman
