Since a few folks raised the subject, I'll ask the following:
 
I'm putting together my freshman comp class for the fall, and I'm
toying with the idea of doing it on documentaries.  So, two questions:
 
1.  What are a few good and short docs that I could use as introductions
to my students?  These have to be available in some form or another.
A few that have come to my mind are _Harlan County_, _Thin Blue Line_,
_Letter From Siberia_, _Salesman_.  If I had the time, I do some of
Ophuls's stuff.
 
2. What are good intro readings for people just getting started on
reading documentary films?  Again, short (xeroxable) is preferable.
 
Thanks.
