Frontline Episodes

These episodes were by far the most interesting thing we have watched so far. It is because everything hit so close to home. The beginning was the September 11th attacks so it automatically started off on a serious note and pulled us in. These stood out to me because they taught me so much but they weren't trying to make us think one way or another about the war. But isn't that what makes it so successful in rhetoric? That it's not obvious and we can't tell what they are trying to persuade us to think?
We could look at these episodes and get some tips for our video essay. We are taking a different route than Frontline did but I think they would be similar  in the fact that it doesn't solely have to be about one specific event or controversy but take one thing to "shed light" on other aspects we want to express.
