KKK - We looked at the Ku Klux Klan and saw how they run the clan and what they do inside the clan giving us more information that we most likely wouldn't know about them, we also get to see how they are raising the children in the clan, they are being taught from young to be racist and the parents are proud of this.
Is Britain Racist - In this documentary we get 3 people who go out around Britain trying to get reactions from different people on how they dress and look, for example a black man walking around in a location mostly populated by white people and than they come back and tell us how they felt about walking around in these areas and if they felt like they were under any pressure or felt somewhat out of place because of their race.
Reggie Yates: Race Riots USA - Is about a young black male getting shot and the reason for the riots is because it was a white officer who shot a young African american male and people believe this was due to the race of the Michael Brown (the young African american who was shot) this whole documentary is based on how they believe that the cops are against African Americans and not against other races.
We want our country back - This documentary is basically a group of British white people want to stop all these other non fully British people taking over Britain, they are trying to remove everyone who is not fully born here because they feel like this isn't the country the Christian ancestors brought up, any other religion is basically not wanted in this documentary because they do no follow the ways of Jesus Christ.
Accuracy - In the documentary we see a lot of accurate points, instead of us assuming what the KKK do and what theirs goals are we actually get to hear them say it, meaning we are getting accurate information from the main source, this lets the audience understand fully of what is going on by supplying them with actual facts such as at 3:34 the member speaking tells us about the ranks of the KKK and who and what they do, this allows the audience to understand more about how the KKK runs, and because it is a member of the KKK telling us about this, this is as accurate you can get because only they know what runs inside the clan, everyone on outside does not know how it runs apart from them being racist. At 5:49 we meet a recruiter who recruits new members to the KKK and what we find out is that they follow a book when recruiting the members, we hear this from the actual recruiter himself, he tells us that they learn everything from the book so that they feel 'naturalized' meaning they become a natural KKK member, again this is accurate information because it is coming from another member of the KKK where as its not coming from someone who is not in the clan, therefore the information is coming from a reliable source.
Balance -At 21:15 you assume the KKK are just racist because they were born like that, but at 21:15 you hear a member of the KKK telling a story of his own racist abuse where they would call him names, and he goes on to tell us how he feels about the whole racism fact, he goes onto say that if it was a teacher or police disciplining a black person it gets called automatically racist but if its a white person being disciplined than its not racist so from this little clip we also see the balance between the racism as it is not just the white people being racist, it is also showing black people being racist so their is a balance between the racism argument in this documentary but either way racism is not something to be proud of nor should it change the person who is a victim of it to turn racist themselves such as the member telling the story.
Impartiality - This documentary is show in a neutral way meaning that the documentary maker is not taking sides but listening to what is happening, this allows the audience to get their own thoughts on the subject without being pushed into believing something, they are not forcing the audience to hate the KKK but they are displaying it in a neutral way so that the audience can learn more about the KKK such as 20:11 where a KKK member is talking about how he doesn't want another war, it shows he is not violent but you wouldn't know this if the story wasn't neutral.
Objectivity & Subjectivity - The women in this documentary goes to get her brain scanned on about races, she sees who she prefers whites or blacks, after the test we find out that she is more scared of black people rather than white people meaning she leans more to the white side on preferring whites over blacks but and this is facts which you can see from the picture below, it shows how part of her brain reacts to the different races, but she than gives us her opinion which is she thinks everyone is equal, this is shown at 36:18, this allows the audience to see opinions and facts which is quite unique and interesting because we see the facts on how she reacts but we also see her reaction and her opinion on how sad she is about the results.
Opinion - At 13:11 we are shown the opinion of the only black male supporting the white cop, this shows the audience that its not just a white thing to defend the white person, you get to listen to the black male share his opinion on why he is here defending the white cop, he simply tells us that the cop was just doing his job as he says why would you support someone who robs a gas station, so he is stating his opinion with facts on why he is not supporting Mike Brown but supporting the cop instead. By showing us the opinion of the only black male supporting the white cop it allows the audience to know that its not just a white against black thing, it is just a general who you think is in the right and who is in the wrong situation, it shouldn't really have to do with race.
Bias - At 2:21 you could say this is biased because he is saying that you are 21x more likely to get shot by the police if you are black rather than white, the reason why this could be biased is because the person speaking himself is black and this could make the audience feel like the police are actually racist towards African Americans meaning the police will have a lot of hate as they are racist as they are only shooting the black people and not the white people.
Representation - At 8:07 we are shown the KKK burning crosses, just from the picture below they look like are willing to do anything for their clan and this makes them seem even more scarier because they will go out of their way to kill anyone who is not white, this allows the audience watching to get their own thoughts on what they think of the KKK which will most likely be negative as they are shown as they feel like they are the extreme race and are better than everyone else. With the KKK burning the crosses it shows them as disrespectful to the actual religions that believe in Jesus Christ which will offend them, they also shout out 'white power' this is a clear indication that leaves the audience to obviously understand that they think whites are superior to every other race, therefore making them racist, no body likes a racist therefore it makes the KKK look like disgusting vile people.
Access & Privacy - At 49:37 the documentary have been allowed to record what the people are doing but when they go up to the taxi drivers they have to blur out their faces because they did not agree to be on camera and this shows when they see the cameras they don't want to talk and have to move away, this creates a sense of realism because you are getting actual reactions from actual people rather than them having time to plan what they are going to say, this is more interesting for the audience because they are watching something that is really happening.
Contract With Viewer - In Super Size Me the show claims that he is eating 5,000 calories but with the help of mathematics, it proves that he runs short on that 5,000 calorie marker and he also gained cholesterol problems and suffered from depression after, when asked healthy college students to do the same thing which is eating 6,000 worth of calories of just from fast food, after the 30 days the college students reported with no cholesterol problems and nothing that the super size film showed, none of them experienced what Spurlock said he had, this therefore shows us that Spurlock had exaggerated his results resulting in the whole documentary to be a simple lie to the audience.
