A story to tell; Summarization

My summarization on a documentary.

In today's lesson, we had a class discussion on different modes and types of documentaries. We watched a couple of examples* and we concluded that the purpose of documentaries are to express peoples views on different aspects, (both for and against counter arguments), it is a method of opinion and it is a technique of persuasion on different topics.

Some documentaries can be inspirational, others can be informative. Some are biographical, but it can be autobiographical too. Some documentaries are based on reliable, hard and blatent facts, while others can be a source of opinions gathered from a sizable ratio of mankind. But no matter the purpose and topic of the documentary, it is always about somebody's story, and expressing themselves and outlooks on life.

We also looked into a documentary maker called "...", who did a long feature documentary on different people in differents states in America^. He achieved this by going on a Aerican road trip and interviewed random people that he bumped into. The purpose of this documetary was to show the variety of people and personalities that are in America and how they ALL have a story to tell... This raised discussion and thoughts within class, and we was told to record and share our stories in life.

I think it is a undebatable fact that everybody has a story to tell and that is what determines everybodies view on how they see the world and life.
