Movies That Matter: Worldly Doc Films

In this general education capstone course, we will study a selection of documentary films that have attempted to help us see the world anew, including several films from the Pacific region. Through our collective viewing of these non-fictional movies from around the world, we will hone our foundational skills of critical thinking, writing, oral communication, information literacy, and knowledge of beauty and creativity. We also will work to relate the messages of these films to the Marianist characteristics. Regardless of your particular program of study, this interdisciplinary course will address interests and issues across the curriculum, Our project-based learning approach will require an individual research project and a collaborative group presentation.
