Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes how films have accurately or inaccurately portrayed the powers, rights, and freedoms within the U.S. Constitution, and it also explores how filmmakers’ lessons about the Constitution have changed over time. This book would make an excellent addition to a course or research on constitutional law or film analysis.
