  • This documentary is about the 2008 financial breakdown. It is  reveling the government officials spending money on unnecessarily stuff which upset the  world.


  • The documentary is related to all the other documentaries as it is also using the documentary to go against the government.


  • This documentary audience age would directed towards mature teens or older, if the the audience was younger they would not quite understand it properly. Also alot of older people who pays tax would also be wanting to find out more about what the Government is doing with there money.


  • This documentary is true, and very informative.


Exit through the gift shop


  • This documentary is about a French man who wants to find Banksy( a very famous graffiti artist) and find out why he does this graffiti. He does manage to meet Banksy but he does not reveal his face. It’s mostly about Banksy showing his political views by doing graffiti all over the world.


  • This documentary also relates to the other documentary's as it’s about how and why Banksy shows his political views against governments.


  • A large amount of people that are different ages would be interested in this as it’s a very good documentary because not many people know about Banksy , who is a wanted criminal.


  • This documentary was true but slightly staged to make it more attractive to the audience.


Gas Land


  • Companies all around the world are doing hydraulic fracturing to get resources from under ground, the documentary shows a lot of negatives by doing this. They tell us about how the government haven’t even tried to make this process eco-friendly e.g Locals have become very ill form this.


  • Aimed at the government to tell them they aren’t trying hard to be eco-friendly, so this video is related to the others.


  • This documentary can be aimed at the locals, activists, eco-friendly peple and average people who would find this possibly fascinating but also horrible.


  • This documentary was true but very exaggerated to give it more of a shock factor.


Restrepo


  • A documentary filmed in US army set in a foreign country, it is mainly about dealing with war, but there were some remarks made about the government not training them well enough, not supplying them well enough and not giving them any support that they need.


  • This documentary is also very anti-government and relates to the other documents above..


  • Alot of teens would be interested because it’s about the army so it is to attract younger people, ex-army soldiers might watch this or anti-government people.


  • This documentary is also true and give alot of background information but staged to give it a better more dramatic appearance to the audience.


Wasteland



  • Documentary about people living in the Brazilian slums and world’s largest dump site in brazil where they are always collecting scrap and out of date food. An artist brings some of these poor Brazilian people to help makes sculptures out of rubbish from the dump, he then sells them and gives the money to charity’s and also the people that helped in Brazil.


  • The documentary doesn't say to blame the government, but by watching it you can tell they are trying to get across it is the governments fault and the artist is trying to help the locals out .


  • Aimed at mature teen/adult audience


  • This documentary is true but staged abit.
