Sicko Post.

Documentary Research

as a starting point of my research for A2 coursework, I have watched the documentary called 'Sicko' by Michael Moore.

What I found interesting about  this documentary is the huge difference between the health care system in the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the leading powers of the world, America are allowing innocent people to die because they don't have the desired support from their insurance companies. We can also see the noticeable difference in Canadian and American health systems, with Americans who are being failed by the health system travelling to places such as Canada to receive medical treatment.

The conventions in this documentary are
1) Expert Interviews
2) Talking heads
3) Voiceovers
4) Public interviews
