Case study of Film: El Susto! (1 hour, 15 min)

We have an amazing opportunity to be among the first people to view the brand new El Susto! documentary. The producer has given our class advane permission to show the film, and eventually it will make it out to high profile film festivals and/or Netflix.

The case study requires you to discuss the film, and there are also several exam study topics related to it. Be sure to check those out before you start watching. Enjoy!
