Fahrenheit 9/11.

YS:
Chanced across this link while looking for the video. The website has even organised the film into many segments, which will probably facilitate the whole process of looking out for each important segment. We can perhaps do the 5 qns on each of the clips, though i doubt we will have the time to do so:p.


07S06K: I agree it would be too much to do the whole film. YS has suggested that we do a class discussion rather than a group presentation. I think each group should lead a class discussion, using one or two clips from the website. Organize among yourselves so that the same clip isn't used twice. I hope to discuss at least 5 clips on Wednesday (29 Mar).

(Each clip takes some time to download — would Daniel email me a list of the clips the groups want to use, so that I may have them ready on my laptop before the lesson? Thanks.)

07S03D: Do you want to do it this way too?

PS: Don't bother to "join the discussion" on the website. The link leads to objectionable material.

2 Comments:

  • To all (six) kok-ers, there are precisely 24 clips in all, and they should represent not more than 30 minutes (probably much less) of extracts from the original film. For example, the part on George Bush's holidaying for the many months prior to the attacks isn't there. That is to say, there are still many parts of the film which you could try to remember.

    This should be the complete list of all the clips:

  • Some of the clips on the original website they show only a one second segment. The "full screen video" links will get you there. The "full screen videos", however, are streaming .ram files. In human speech, that means that you need an Internet connection to view them. Moreover, you need RealPlayer (not sure whether school computers are loaded with it).

    All the links I have here are the links to the full-length videos and if available, the non-streaming versions. If it's a .ram clip you chose, then it's a streaming version. So, if your group chooses a .ram clip, then good luck.
