Documentary Reflection Paper
Purpose – The purpose of this assignment is to reflect critically on the documentary The Pharmacist and examine how your opinions about substance addiction have shifted as part of this class and the documentary.
Directions – You will watch the 4-episode Netflix documentary called The Pharmacist which discusses topics relevant to this course (e.g., crack cocaine addiction, the opioid epidemic). You will then write a 4-page paper on this documentary. In your paper, provide a brief overview of what you learned from the documentary. Then, address the following questions: What surprised you? What was consistent with what you have learned in this course? Inconsistent? What assumptions did you have about the opioid epidemic prior to watching the series? How did these change (or stay the same) over the course of watching the series? Summarize what you learned about the intersection of addiction and society from the documentary. This paper should demonstrate critical thinking about the documentary content, rather than simply retell the documentary story.
