Social Documentary - Rebecca

The documentary about social issues I favoured the most was one called 'Whats the problem?'. Rather than focusing on one specific issue, the documentary features various members of the public asking them what the problem is (referring to the world). Along with this, the documentary also asks the public other appropriate questions such as what the solution is, and what are they doing to help.

I think that the way the documentary gathers numerous opinions is effective as it not only lets the audience see that its unbaised, but also it shows how everyone agrees on similiar issues. Furthermore by questioning the publics personal imput was effective as it shows the fact that everyone is aware of the problems in the world but do not actually do anything. This meant that it raised awareness on several issues and the fact that we should do something about it even though we dont.

Personally I quite enjoyed this documentary as it took a simpler approach to somewhat complex and controversial topics. Meaning that the message was easier to understand and learn from. Also I found that this simpler approach made there feel like a less amount of pressure to make a change - it made you think and want to make a change rather than forcing you through guilt trips.
