Geography 98/198 is a student led course offered in the Spring semester of 2004 at the University of California at Berkeley.

In this class we will view a series of films related to global politics. Students will be expected to attend a once-a-week class and participate in the discussion following each movie. The goal of this course will be to help students learn about current events as well as world history through watching movies, and completing short reading assignments relating the films to current events. At the end of the course students should have a better understanding of global political forces, and should have gained skills in critically assessing the information in popular films.
