USE THE FILM: The Hunting Ground
The following questions may act as a guide for analyzing the film you have chosen:
What are the major themes and issues that emerge from this story? What sociological ideas or concepts can you apply? For instance, how does the documentary demonstrate how class, race and/or gender matter to crime? How does it illustrate the role of politics,
economy and power? Be sure to include plot elements, dialogue, or scenes that demonstrate your point.
End your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your impressions of the documentary, what you learned from watching it and how it enhanced your understanding of crime and society and/or the importance of crime in our culture.
