The main goal of the movie project is to show the students that it is quite easy for human beings to become racist/bias towards another group. Through media (propaganda) one group can be tricked into thinking their countries enemies are inhuman. We are doing this in a movie setting so the students can get all different types of information and present it to the rest of the class. They can use news clips, posters, cartoons ect., but in a regular poster project they would only be able to show text but through the movie they could possibly use primary sources. With a movie project the students can bring in all sorts of different sources to help get their points across. This project is also supposed to be fun to make these movies and informational for students to show them that racism is still around.
