You first need to pick a documentary topic from those listed and then watch the specific documentary or documentaries. The Dirty Money Documentaries are about 1 hour long and some of the others may be 2 hours long. As you watch, you also want to identify a company or organization within the documentary that has acted unethical and will serve as the organization you will use as we proceed through the course for the “documentary case analysis questions.”
Some of the documentaries appear available for free (PBS documentaries) and some may be available if you have a service (ex. Nexflix or Amazon Prime) and some may require a rental fee.
