Brief paper incorporating documentary and articles

Question: This NETFLIX documentary has been acclaimed for its approachable and critical analysis of the 13th Amendment. The documentary, however, like the book The New Jim Crow, has been critiqued for having a limited outlook on incarceration. Thinking critically, how could the documentary be stronger, if the works by Berg & Lesi (2006) and Forman (2012) were utilized?

• Note: The documentary is highly influenced by the book The New Jim Crow. Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, is a significant contributor in the movie.

In your response:
• Ensure the use of specific examples from the movie.
• Ensure the articles are properly applied in your analysis. That is, ensure the use of key elements of each article are utilized. Simply using quotes and adding a sentence or two thereafter will NOT suffice. Utilize, for example, major themes, findings, conclusions, policies, etc. – is important when integrating scholarly works
• Each article MUST have its own paragraph dedicated in your paper. Specifically, when utilizing publications, there MUST be a substantive paragraph that fully explains your linkage to the article and documentary. In short, analysis and reflections MUST provide deep and cogent analysis.
• Ensure that you have a strong introduction and conclusion in your paper. Being able to set-up and wrap-up your position in a written format is important with academic writing.
