Presentation Transcript

  1. Global Issues Presentation The Scottsboro Boys

  2. Political and Social Issues • Racism • Race was the biggest influence in this particular documentary. If it wasn’t for the time period and the race and color of the people being accused the accusations would be treated fairly. With a fair trial that should have happened in the beginning. • Social Injustice • A fair trial didn’t happen because of the Scottsboro boy’s race. That is technically Social injustice by mistreating someone because of their race, color or religious preferences. • Political Injustice • Political Injustice happened because of the judges having the authority to rule in favor of allowing them to re-try the trial over and over again.

  3. Cinematography….. This Documentary used different letters, interviews, and even one of their (the Scottsboro boys) personal experiences.

  4. Cinematography • The interviews used in the documentary were real life examples from people that were present during the trails. It even consisted of one of the members of the Scottsboro boys. • The interviews and images used added to the documentary as a whole.

  6. 21st century thinker Evaluation • Through this documentary it has contributed to my understanding of life in the 1930’s. It has shown me the hardships, accusations, and how hard it was for black men in particularly. I know that they weren’t treated equally, as other criminals are today. Also I learned that they, the people of the 1930’s, would believe a white person over a black any day. It was very informational and I absolutely loved learning about history of racial discrimination.
