Cultural Document.

For an example of cultural documentation, I choose a video called 'The Un-Funny Truth about Scientology'. The reason I picked this for my cultural documentation is because of the relevance of Scientology in a culture (a 'religion' made relevant by mainstream actors/actresses/other famous or socialite people). Scientology has sparked many controversy because of various reasons (their beliefs, the way the handle situations, etc.) and how Scientology has high-profile lawyers to deal with any situations in which its name is shown in a bad light. Within the past year there have been many protest against the "religion" often organized when a celebrity follow of Scientology has a movie/cd/production being released. This shows us a lot about our society and how some people interact within it as well.

  1. Like the Anonymous member that made Tom Cruise sign his mask at the premier of Valkyrie. That was hilarious!
