Here is the Documentary about Self Help Graphics called “Dia de los Muertos/Day of the Dead” we have been seeing in class. It was shown and produced by PBS SoCal and Local KCET. When you access this online, you will need to scroll down a bit and look to see the film on a window on your right hand side of the article.
The documentary was released recently in 2019. Here is the link to get to the video by the way (you will need to copy the link, and paste it onto a separate tab/web browser most likely):

This documentary is about 56 minutes long. We left off in class 32 minutes into it, so you have about 24 minutes to go. It was made by a collective named DIGNICRAFT.
Please watch the documentary and turn in a short written film review on it. While you are watching the film, take some notes, however way you can. I suggest writing two to three sentences of notes for every 12 minutes you watch, for the remaining 24 minuets – so you should have about four to 6 sentences of notes. You will turn in these notes this time, so please take a picture and/or upload the document where you have your notes, and turn this in with your film review together.
Have this film review be about what you liked about the film, as well as what you disliked. Also, talk about how you think the film was made, and how you think it could have been made better. Put yourselves in the director and writer’s shoes; how would you make it different?
In addition to your notes and writing, please include one screen-shot from the film in your film review. Take a Screenshot somewhere during the film, and add that to your film review. Have that visually guide your film review as well.
