1) Choose one film or series from the attached list to watch, then follow the guidelines below for your paper. DO NOT JUST SUMMARIZE THE FILM!!! I have seen all of them.
2) For the content of your paper:

Give a BRIEF overview of the film.
Provide some historical context/background for the people and events portrayed in the film. Connect them to the larger historical themes of the era.
Based on your course material (lecture, textbook, course reader), discuss the historical accuracy of the film. Your answer must be more than, “this film is historically accurate.” You may also use outside sources if you wish (see below).
OPTIONAL: Considering when this film/series was made, do you think there was a contemporary message? If so, how does that message relate to the actual historical events?
