SOCIAL STUDIES Special Topics-History through Film

One way to learn about the past is to study movies with historical themes. In this course we will examine historical events by watching, discussing, and writing about movies. We will focus on 20th Century American history. Movies can provide some factual information about a historical figure, event, or time period; they can also distort the past. A major part of the course will be discussion of how movies accurately and inaccurately portray history
