Documentary and Propaganda

Some links for documentaries and propaganda, so you have more background before you make your video on a social issue.

Propaganda:

Propaganda is information that is not impartial and used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented.

WWII, American Anti-German propaganda



WWII, Nazi propaganda



WWII, American propaganda about Japanese-American internment



Cold War, American Anti-Communist propaganda
