HIST 2782
Film and US Foreign Policy

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course investigates the relationship between US foreign policy and film. We will examine how US films and the Hollywood film industry in particular have enacted, reinforced, and condemned US foreign policy, considering cases such as the Good Neighbor Policy's attempt to remake hemispheric relations, Hollywood's relationship to Nazi Germany, Cold War humanitarian and development films, documentaries criticizing US policies and programs, and recent collaborations between filmmakers and the CIA. Possible films screened include The Sheik, White Zombie, Our Daily Bread, Casablanca, The Magnificent Seven, and Zero Dark Thirty.
