Media is a powerful tool for connecting with the masses. This course is a survey of the ways in which media can be used to effect social change or further social causes. It will look at a variety of genres that have done this historically (doc, narrative, online media, experimental and more) and explore the crossroads between film as entertainment and as cultural influence. Students will explore ideas of how to apply this to their own work.
