Order Description
Select 2 short answer questions from the 4 questions and answer separately (it’s not an essay!), 4 pages for each question (total8pages). You can ONLY cite from the movies and readings FROM I PROVIDED TO YOU (show author and page number for each citation). NO other resources! You CANNOT cite and quote from any other materials!
Only answer 2 questions :(each question discussed as many as possible but at least two readings and two movies belowed)
Question1: Discuss the role of working class women and gender on film.

Question2: Discuss the depiction of migrant workers and connections between race and class on film.

Question3: How has labour organization, including the process of forming unions and bargaining, been depicted on film?

Question4: How has the phenomenon of solidarity and class conflict been depicted on film?

For both questions above, consider:
What are some themes that run through these films and readings relating to labour studies?
What kind of continuity and changes have taken place in the situation facing working people?
What are some strengths and weaknesses of film as a medium for studying labour?
Other thoughts?
Answers will be evaluated based on command of readings, movies and themes, and the extent to which you draw from notes below and readings and movies. You should endeavor to discuss AS MANY REVELANT FILMS AS POSSIBLE (from below movies) in your answers, connecting ideas, approaches, and techniques in the films to themes in labour studies.
Responses should draw exclusively from films, course readings, and notes. No outside materials should be included and evidence of their use will result in a mark of zero for the assignment and also an F for this course. Wikipedia and other online sources are NOT allowed for answers for this assignment. The instructor is very familiar with Wikipedia and other Online sources relating to labour in film. You will get a plagiarism and fail this course and be kicked out from school.
