MY RECOMMENDATION
I have chosen film, cinema, in my work in order to theorize difficult questions regarding democracy and difference. There are, however, many points of caution in choosing to use film. Films often can reinforce and affirm stereotyped and demeaning images of others; that is, film is as effective a tool for installing as it is for challenging and overcoming oppression. However, as I write in Chapter One, the fictionalized realism of film can allow for a sharing of the different experiences that individuals live through and can serve as a helpful tool to uncover the raw materials that make up our various social or cultural identities.

My Film Recommendations
Snowden
Snowden explores the events and life of the CIA whistle blower, Edward Snowden. Produced in 2016, the film takes a biographical approach into presenting the audience with an opportunity to understand the events that led to Edward Snowden exposing the events at CIA involving spying on American citizens. A computer programing expert, Snowden earns favor from almost every leader in the intelligence agency due to his exceptional skills in programming. Consequently, he is constantly considered for different activities involving cyber security some of which he believes contradict his personal values. Throughput the film, Snowden is presented as a moral individual, but who consistently falls victim to his environment, and is not shy of showing his discontentment at the government’s approach on certain policies.
