Voice in Documentary Work

Before class Tuesday, finish viewing (on your own) Marco Williams’ film, “Banished.” It’s available from Trexler Library online here: https://muhlenberg.on.worldcat.org/oclc/21237796
Also for Tuesday, please read two short pieces that will provide more context and insight on the film and the filmmaker’s location:
Interview with Williams:

Filmmakers’ statement:

In-class, we will work with these items. Here is a blog post with details for Tuesday’s class: https://docresearch.lorataub.com/fall19/uncategorized/working-with-banished/
Thursday we will not meet together in class, as I am off campus at a conference. Use this time to write a blog post that considers Marco Williams’ location as a documentarian. How is his location “both a vehicle and an obstacle” on this journey to document banishment and paths to reconciliation and reparations? This is pre-writing for Essay 2 and is due Friday, October 25, by 11:59 p.m.
