- What audience(s) does the film address? How do you know?
- How does Jeremy Siefert (through what he says, does, etc…) demonstrate good sense – or not. How about his friends?
- How does Jeremy Siefert (through what he says, does, etc…) demonstrate goodwill – or not. How about his friends?
- How does Jeremy Siefert (through what he says, does, etc…) demonstrate good moral character – or not. How about his friends?
- Do you identify with Seifert, in the Burkean sense (see Jasinksi, p. 231-232).
- Do you think more background information about Siefert would change how you receive his arguments? For example, let’s say you knew he committed a terrible crime as a young man (not saying he did!), would that alter your perspective?
- Any other thoughts about the persuasive dimensions of this documentary?
