Cat Stevens Documentary Techniques

The documentary on Cat Stevens, (Produced by George Moll) reflects his life showing the changes of his career from when he was a young rock artist to embracing Islam religion as personal fulfilment. His catalyst for change is that he was caught in a rip in the ocean and he prayed to God to spare his life and that he would live for him if he survived.
The documentary uses flash backs which is an effective method to show the change, it juxtaposes the past and present, him as a rock star to a Muslim. Cat Stevens album covers and song lyrics are also a technique used to portray his change. The album covers were always a picture of him until the end of his career where they turned into Muslim religious portraits and the same with his song lyrics,
