Documentary Film: Infographics

OK, class, here is today's assignment:

Contrast and compare the information graphics in two of the most important documentary films of 2010: Inside Job, Charles Ferguson's investigation of the 2008 financial crisis, and Waiting for Superman, Davis Guggenheim's look at the state of public schools in the US.

 Here's a tip: One of these films squanders a great opportunity to create rich and meaningful graphics while the other one knocks the infographics ball out of the park!
