RedPill Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Has anyone heard about this? A pretty famous documentarian named Frederick Wiseman did a 224 minute documentary on life at UC-Berkeley. It came up in one of my classes today. It came out in 2013, seems pretty interested. Especially for those of us interested in the sociology of higher education or those pursuing a PhD http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3091552/ Haven't seen it, but I really want to..it sounds very interesting.

bmarcus Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes, I am a Cal alum and it was very sentimental to watch. The core premise is: How does a public university facing major budget cuts continue to provide a high quality education and provide it judiciously to people of all race, color, creed, sexual preference and socio-economic status.

rync Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There were some screenings around the country, but I haven't been able to see it. I've been trying to get my hands on it. If anyone knows where I can see it, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarcus Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It had been on PBS under the show title "Independent Lens". You can try to check your local PBS station to see if they are still running it. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
