I watched the documentary Do Not Resist with my roommate on Friday.This documentary is about the militarization of local U.S police departments in recent years.

The documentary then presents a debate of whether the local police departments need more and advanced equipments. James Comey‚ the

The documentary alternates between the criminal investigations of Ricardo Soto‚ a member of SEMEFO (Forensic Medical Service) of the city Ciudad Juarez‚ and the rise in the world of narco-corrido of the artist Edgar Quintero.

Even with these measures‚ schools not only fail to educate students‚ but the drive to teach has become secondary to the need to control children. The documentary begins with a history of the zero tolerance policy. In the 1990’s‚ most schools established guidelines in institutions in order to keep the campuses safe from weapons and drugs.

I applaud the documentary for getting more people to pay attention to a worldly cause‚ and certainly there is credence to many of the facets of this documentary but after looking more into the actual conflicts that took place much of Virunga is very misleading .

The gest of the documentary Failure to Protect‚ is that it talks about how Logan Marr was taken from her mother’s home on multiple occasions and put in different foster homes. After the first foster home‚ she was returned to her mother. However‚ there was an incident at her second foster home and she was killed at her third. From what the documentary shows‚ the case workers seamed to slightly overreact‚ whereas they were quick to remove Logan and her sister from their mother‚ but they put them in

The new documentary on the Vietnam War by Ken Burns has already aired the first two episodes on PBS. So far‚ in my humble opinion‚ I think it is a rather good documentary‚ and I have personally learned some things about the geopolitical situation that was taking place during the time of Vietnam right after World War 2 ended. I hope Mr. Burns will not try to be politically correct and give the truth about the Vietnam War from all perspectives. The Vietnam War defined a generation‚ still‚ does‚ and

How accurate is Lincoln? Is it fictional or facts? Well‚ to be honest we can’t just base our judgment based on a Hollywood to say whether it’s fictional or facts. Any movies that matter of facts will have some added dramas or fictional to it to make it interesting or appeal to the audience or just for pure propaganda reasons.
