    3. Yes, it was about the puppeteer Kevin Clash, who use to play Elmo on Sesame Street, which was called 'Being Elmo'. I also watched another one called 'American Movie' which is about a man and his friend trying to fund and make their own horror film.

    4. Yes, usually affairs that are happening in America, as I can understand it more.

    5. I feel that gun laws in America should be limited and that guns should only be for their law enforcement and the military, only for defence.

    6. I've never been to the cinema to watch a documentary, the reason is only because I've never seen them being advertised in my area, especially seeing as they're usually shown at film festivals, so I never really hear about them.

    7. The subject matter and possibly how they're made, using humour.

    8. Yes, It would be interesting to hear and see other people's views on the topic.

    9. Yes, as it makes it more interesting and you can see people's actual reactions and how they behave if they're put on the spot when asked an important question.

    10. I do agree with it because it seems that America always seem to want a reason as to why they need guns and are always looking for something to fight, as if to hide that their reason of wanting guns all the time because they're actually fearful.

    3. I have watched a few documentaries before, it was called 'Overnight', and it was about an arrogant director named Troy Duffy, who wrote and directed a film called 'The Boondock Saints', and his slow rise to fame and his fast slope to being an unknown due to his own greed.
    4. No, not really. It doesn't interest me.
    5. I think that is is completely out of control, and it is unnecessary.
    6. No, I don't think that I have the right attention span for it.
    7. An interesting topic that appeal to me.
    8. Yes, even though I think I would be highly critical of the opposing views.
    9. Yes, because I think that it is important to have a presenter to guide you through the whole film.
    10. Yes, in some parts of America, there are a lot of racial issues that surrounds the area, this could also be said for the Countries' view on terrorism. I think that America is a very paranoid Country.
