Section Title:
Sport Films Documenting Social
Section Info:
Sport Films Documenting Social Issues. Taking its inspiration from Going for Green--Britains 2012 Dream, a documentary film about the 2012 Olympics and environmentalism, this course examines a wide range of documentary films that investigate sports and issues related to environmental activism in addition to race, gender and class issues and disability rights. Topics will include: surfing, tourism, and environmental activism (BlueGreen, Pulp, Poo and Perfection); skateboarding and masculinity (Dogtown and Z-boys and AKA Girl Skaters); the Paralympics and disability (Warrior Champions: From Baghdad to Beijing); basketball, race, and national identity (Hoop Dreams, Kobe Doin' Work); women, soccer, and national identity (Dare to Dream, Kick In Iran); sports, gender, and sexuality (Murderball, The Life of Million Dollar Babies). In addition to our readings and screenings, we will make our own short documentary film as a class about a topic arising from our study. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
