    It is easy to glance at the 2016 Presidential Election and paint it as a looney bin with unpredictable results, wacky campaigns, and erratic candidates.

    How well connected is your assigned film to the current event we are studying? The three films that I chose for this final project are; Fahrenheit 9/11, CSI season 1 episode 22, and West Wing Season 3 episode 1. These films are connected because they focus on different aspects associated with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Fahrenheit 9/11 is connected to the current topic because it’s main plot point follows Michael Moore’s narrative of blaming George W. Bush, our president on September 11 2001
