What I learnt from this article is that it is overlooked as a force for social change.
Like the film of the JFK assassination. A lawyer called 'Jim Garrison' is who you follow in the film. The production of the film resulted in a new law introduced. "The John Frederick Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992". The Act set up the collection of any and all government documents relating to JFK‘s assassination, including evidence from seven different official committees and any presidential library. This lead to 318,866 documents were released to the public about the assassination. Some of the documents included 1,100 CIA documents.
This therefore proves that film can make change socially and can unearth a lot more than could be expected.
