Documentary

Today in big Johns we learned about different documentary Makers. The first one i learned about was Ross Kemp who made a documentary on different gangs in america and around the worldn the show Kemp travels around the world talking to gang members, locals who have been affected by gang violence, and the authorities who are attempting to combat the problem.
The second one I learned about was Ric O'barry  who made the film The Cove is a 2009 Documentary film that describes the annual killing of dolphins in a Quasi-National Park in Japan from an ocean conservationist's point of view. The film highlights the fact that the number of dolphins killed in the Taiji Dolphin hunting drive is several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic
The third one I learned about was Micheal Moore who made the documentary Sicko is a 2007 documentary film by American filmmaker Micheal Moore. The film investigates health care in the united states, focusing on its health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the for-profit, non-universal U.S. system with the non-profituniversal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.





The fourth one i learned about was Louis Theroux who made the documentary weird weekends about lives viewers the chance to get brief glimpses into the worlds of individuals and groups that they would not normally come into contact with or experience up close. In most cases this means interviewing people with extreme beliefs of some kind, or just generally belonging to subcultures not known to exist by most or just frowned upon.
