Students will watch and critique documentaries made by artists and filmmakers in the areas of Education, Housing, and Law Enforcement; go behind the scenes at the Krannert Art Museum to investigate the museum's documentary holdings; and make their own documentary projects. Final projects will be exhibited in the Krannert Art Museum at the end of the semester. Part of the Grand Challenge Learning Inequality & Cultural Understanding pathway.
