This site was an awesome example for the reading in Nichols (chapter 1).  The chapter began discussing two types of documentary.  One, is documentaries of wish-fulfillment and the other is documentaries of social representation.  This site challenges the non-fiction credibility of the movie “The King and I” and its re-make “Anna and the King.”  The producers advertise it as historical, while those who live in Thailand say the depiction is deceptive and fictitious.   So, which type of documentary do these films fall under?  Check out the site and make a decision for yourself J
