Film Studies Daily Log

Friday, October 8

Students received a historical handout on the Reconstruction period as an alternative interpretation to that of Birth of a Nation.  They should read it over the weekend; it will be included in the material covered on a quiz to be given Tuesday.

We watched short sections from Reconstruction, a PBS documentary, to provide historical information and -- once again -- a different perspective from Griffith's on Reconstruction in the South.

Coming up Tuesday:
Quiz over Birth and Reconstruction.
