Freedom Films

"Freedom Films" is a First Year Seminar which will focus on historical documentary films related to the Southern Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. We will analyze how these films reflect, change, and inform our views of the traditional Civil Rights Movement and how some offer contrasting narratives of that movement. We will also examine how and in what ways the films accurately and adequately reflect the historical realities of the Southern Civil Rights Movement based on readings and research. Enrollment limited to 19 first year students.
