Psychology 205

Watch the movie “Free State of Jones” and write a 4-5 page paper analyzing the movie as history by
addressing the following points:
1. Briefly describe the plot of the movie in 2-2½ pages;
2. Determine whether the movie portrayed the events depicted accurately or not,
making sure to give examples of which parts of the movie were accurate and which
parts of the movie were not accurate (there are many sites on the Internet that
review the historical accuracy of movies, so consult one or more of them for this
section of the paper);
3. Determine if and where the director of the movie took “poetic license” with the
facts to make the movie more interesting or exciting;
4. Brainstorm where you think the authors/director of the movie obtained the
information on which the movie is based;
5. Explain how you think the movie can be used to teach or enhance the learning of
history.
For the assignment, prepare a paper that is well-written and answers all parts of the
assignment. A cover page is needed; put your name, cite the movie viewed, including the
title of the movie, the director, and the year of release on the cover page and in the
Works Cited page. You should have at least one (1) in-text citation of a reference or
references for any works you consulted writing the paper. You should have a “Works
Cited” page (a separate page) with at least one reference other than the citation for the
movie from which you obtained your information. Make sure the margins are 1” all
around and that you include page numbers
