After you have watched the documentary A State of Mind. Ask yourself: How does filmmaker Daniel Gordon’s documentary A State of Mind choose to represent the people of North Korea, especially the two girls? If you consider that documentaries can reflect ideologies and mediated perspectives, what seems to be the director’s intent here? Does this film seem to be a negative or a positive representation of the state? Why do you think that? Integrate specific lines/scenes from the film to make your point. Also, any other thoughts on this film?
