“We realized that the important thing was not the film itself but that which the film provoked”
- Fernando Solanos

(300) Intro – More Documentary  - Then touch on MaM and the miscarriage of justice and disability. (Perhaps start with something about documentary and renaissance of the genre in recent years? You also need to discuss (and define) the concept of institutional bias in the media. You could then move on to the idea that the media can now influence criminal justice and also offer a more enlightened or modern representation of mental illness)
