Documentary has exploded in the past decade, with more documentaries being created, screened, and watched than at any time in history. But what has this growth meant to documentary, and how has it impacted what we see on screen and how documentary stories are being told? In this course, we will examine the changes and trends taking place in film and television documentaries over the past decade. We will watch a variety of contemporary documentaries, examining some of the different stylistic, production, and story-telling methods that have developed over this time. We will also analyze some of the core documentary and journalism ethical issues, such as bias, fairness, and credibility, and how these fit in to this contemporary documentary moment. If you enjoy watching documentaries and want to learn more about them, you will find this to be an enjoyable and thought-provoking course. Professor Rosenstein is a Peabody and multiple Emmy award winning documentary producer and director who brings his many years of documentary experience to the classroom.
