HRTS 3170 - Human Rights in Film:Narrative Films

Institution:

Webster University

Subject:

Description:

We'll look at and talk about narrative films and videos that explore serious human rights concerns. In doing so, along with reading and writing about the films--and the situations or problems depicted in them--we should learn a fair bit about these specific films, narrative films in general, the situations depicted, human rights, and the human condition. Each film will be discussed in terms of the human rights issues raised; relevant international human rights standards; appropriate historical, philosophical, and political background; and the methods used by the filmmakers to get their message across. Crosslisted with FILM 3160 and PHIL 3110. May be repeated for credit if content differs.
