Movies/Documentaries on my History Topics?

We Answered:

Movies are things to eat popcorn with. Documentaries are good - but do you really have the time to sit through 60 minutes worth of total irrelevance or worse - total rubbish.

I'm not gonna pass comment on how you're cutting it a bit fine to start revising for those coming exams. TV and films are always gonna be a poor second to your class notes in any exam. Sometimes real life just isn't exciting enough to make a film about.

The BBC run the Learning Zone programmes in early morning - which is an ideal time for taping. See if you can find a friend who recorded them (they were on in January this year), and if they'll let you watch them.

http://www.bbc.net.uk/learning/subjects/… -- is a good link to get started, coz it relates strongly to what you have been studying - as opposed to someone making up a story, loosely basing it in your time-period, and making a film out of it.

Use the internet for some hard-research. Cut and paste each line of what you're looking for into Google - and read, and read and read.

Think of how these things affected people "at the front line" and even those in communities many miles away. How did these actions/events affect people at the time and subsequently through history.
