"In this course we will examine the many attitudes and strategies that American filmmakers have brought to the question of how to respond to the events of 9/11. From the high seriousness of Steven Spielberg to the high comedy of Team America, students in this course will be exposed to a range of ways that 9/11 has entered the American film vocabulary. The class will require some out of class viewing, as well as a number of research-oriented essays. Other films to be studies might include Spike Lee's 25th Hour, Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, and the Showtime miniseries Sleeper Cell
