    “Among college-age youth (20–24 years) in the United States, suicide is the third leading cause of death.”1 Our youth today struggle with emotional and mental issues which are sometimes manifested in self-destructive behaviors or even attempts at suicide. Thus, I believe the Spanish film “Mar Adentro” (The Sea Inside) is powerful and relevant to our college-aged students. It relates the true story of Ramón Sampedro who is paralyzed in a diving accident and spends the next twenty-nine years of his life fighting for the legal right to carry out an assisted suicide. He loses the legal battle, but does find someone to help him end his life. He sips potassium cyanide from a straw as this person films his death. This event, which occurs in Galicia, Spain in 1998, sparks a national debate in Spain about the legality and justification of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and suicide in general. In the aftermath of Sampedro’s death, the filming of which was exposed to the public, his suicide assistant (a close female friend) is arrested, then released, and a popular campaign erupts in Spain with many claiming to be “the one” who helped him die. Even politicians show their support for his decision by signing a document stating they helped Sampedro to die.2 I use this film in a 300-level course called “Hispanic Culture through the Media Arts”. One of my objectives in the course is to begin to develop the skill of comprehending a wide variety of topics in films. This movie certainly helps in that regard.

  • Documentary America: Exploring Popular Culture
    Review Essay Documentary America: Exploring Popular Culture Sam Girgus DOCUMENTING OURSELVES: Film, Video, and Culture. By Sharon R. Sherman. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky. 1998. HOLLYWOOD'S INDIAN: The Portrayal of the Native American in Film. Edited by Peter C. Rollins and John E. O'Connor. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky. 1998. DISASTER AND MEMORY: Celebrity Culture and the Crisis of Hollywood Cinema. By Wheeler Winston Dixon. New York: Columbia University Press. 1999. Documentary today influences and structures the way we think about and envision current events and history. The proliferation of documentary, of course, stems in part from its importance to television as specials, docudramas, and public broadcasting endeavors such as Ken Burns' The Civil War (1989). Also, docu­ mentary films such as Michael Moore's Roger andMe (1989) achieve critical and commercial success. Yet, while documentary for information and entertainment grows in popularity and authority, its relation to film as an art and to culture studies remains generally misunderstood and neglected. Thus, documentary requires further study to explain its place in our culture. 0026-3079/99/4003-147$2.00/0 American Studies, 40:3 (Fall 1999): 147-155 147 148 Sam Girgus Besides the cost efficiency of documentary as compared to commercial films, the power and popularity of documentary also derive from the conventional belief in its special relationship to reality. In her important new book, Document­ ing Ourselves: Film, Video, and Culture, Sharon R. Sherman uses a familiar but descriptive label to identify this idea of documentary realism as a "'slice of life'" (10). For many, documentary provides a visual and audial piece of actual experience, rendering that experience with an immediacy to reality that obviates the mediation of written texts and artistic forms.
