Human Rights Abuses in Film
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the role the events portrayed
in 'Schindler's List' and 'The Killing Fields' have served to shape awareness of human
rights issues in the late years of the 20th century. It cannot be the place of some
self-appointed body to attempt to dictate to any nation how it should collectively think, or
what its philosophy should be. Human rights overseers need to ensure they are not forcing
their own cultural values on another society, but neither do we need to be shy about
stepping forward to halt blatant abuses of human rights. The Holocaust and Cambodia's
S-21 provide the evidence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph Of The Will": Documentaries And Objectivity
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Documentaries are often assumed to be objective renderings of reality, yet they invariably offer a specific point of view. This point is clearly illustrated in Leni Riefenstahl's film Triumph of the Will, one of the most morally and legally controversial documentaries ever made. Chronicling the 1934 session of Nazi Party Congress,
Triumph of the Will has long been interpreted as propaganda for Hitler's reign, which caused it to be banned for more than three decades. Riefenstahl, who was commissioned by Hitler to cover the events, captured such power and intimidation that her film was feared by all who experienced it, inasmuch as it presented myriad issues that could not easily be dismissed. For example, was Triumph of the Will truly Nazi propaganda or rather a propaganda film given life
by a non-Nazi woman? Indeed, the line was thin with regard to the underlying objective, an element that more than angered hierarchical Nazi propagandists. No additional sources cited.
