The main issues are based on corruption, poaching and economics, while corruption and economical…

Man with a Movie Camera, a film from 1929 directed by Dziga Vertov, is a film unlike any contemporary movie we would see today that may hold more significance than most modern blockbusters from Hollywood.

Instead, he focuses on the technology of the camera he is using to film, and shows his audience what the kino-eye sees and what really…

My beliefs on reading and writing in the field before I did the interview was that I knew that reading was involved with the interview and writing also but I…
