    Description
    Students will explore the intersection of sport and American culture, history, and society through a critical examination of popular sport films. Students will investigate how sport films comment on gender roles, racial inequalities, identity, power, performance, social justice, the American Dream, and the concept of heroism. Students will also examine the ethical considerations involved in the production of sport films, including issues of authenticity, exploitation, and representation. Throughout the semester students will watch popular sport films.
