The memory and documentaries

Hello dear classmates and teacher!

Today it's a  free post, so I'm going to talk about the subject of memory in the documentaries!
I like this topic because when I began to study sociology I was really interested in this, actually I wanted to study History! because I have always been interest in the past...But in the sociology this subject is not important in comparison with other topics such as the theory, gender or social structure...So, thanks to one friend I could take part in a class about the documentaries and memory, and here I recovered my interest in this topic!, and this time was more fun because I could learn about the memory but through the documentaries.

This class was part of a course about Chilean documentaries, of the film faculty. In this opportunity, the teacher talk about the documentaries and how the film director can tell us the memory through his or her personal story, or the social story. I think that the documentaries are a really god instrument for show this topics, because through the frames, and sounds you can understand the history better.

The teacher mentioned some documentaries about this topic, such as "Calle Santa Fe", "La Memoria Obstinada", or "Nostalgias de la luz". I watched all this documentaries, and I really like them!! I recommend this documentaries to you!, Maybe you feel sad, angry or confusion, but I can ensure that you'll get to know a lot about own history!

Finally, I will leave you a quote about memory that was said on "La Memoria obstinada" by Patricio Guzman:

"Remember comes from the latin recordaris, and re means come back, and cordis means heart, so recordaris is to go back to the heart...to wake up"

And as a wise person said "That's all Folks"
