• to give them a negative image
• to foresee what is going to happen
• subverts the role of the police
Why represent the immigrant workers in this way?
• to make them seem vulnerable
• to gain sympathy from the audience
• the producers want us to identify with them to experience emotions of panic, fear, injustice and loss
What stereotypes are being adhered to or subverted in this clip?
• police - normally the protectors of society presented here as destroying people's lives. They are presented as nonchalant not caring just "doing their job"
• immigrants - stealing jobs, large families, unskilled, unclean, dehumanised presented here as vulnerable. This clip attempts to deconstruct this stereotype through the different representations
Adam - religious, caring, trained doctor
Ibrahim - treated incredibly roughly without provocation
• implied racism from police, all the police are white suggesting an ethnic divide
Can you hypothesise the purpose behind the mediation of this text?
• inform about situation of society
• challenge preconceptions from right wing
