Stacey Dooley - Girls Guns and Isis


In this Documentary we see Stacey Dooley go to the frontline with that Yazidi women. We see her risk her life going to shows us viewers how they live and how they have to fight for freedom. In this show we see the Yazidi women prepare to fight Isis along side the Men. In the documentary we see families tell heart breaking stories about when they where captured and tortured by Isis.

I think the target audience may be towards people that may want to join the war, people of the western world. Another potential audience may be Stacey Dooley fans who follow her work.
As for representation it's covers issues which are war, rape and extremism and also regional and national identity, gender and age.

I think the purpose of this documentary is to highlight the issues that the Yazidi women have to face and overcome, I think also they are trying to give us a indirect message that we shouldn't take life for granted and that people should complain about their minor issue because other people have it worse.

I found this documentary quite upsetting to watch because there where girls my age in there there that have been through so much and are willing to risk their own lives to take revenge on the people that killed their loved ones.

    Make sure to proof-read your work for minor grammar mistakes such as "which Are war". It'd also go a long way to perhaps compare this to another of Stacey Dooley's works or maybe a different presenter entirely.

    Good summary perhaps add some more depth to your representation and include examples of where this happened.

"They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself': Plus-size model who shed 240LBS reveals she's been sent DEATH THREATS from 'fat activists' who are angry about her weight loss"  The source of this article is the Daily mail Plus-size model Rosie Mercado who lost 240lbs and had recently weighed 410lb said she was targeted by 'fat activists' who told her to kill herself after her She lost a sugnificant amount of weight.  fat activists are people that feel strongly against weight loss. which in my opinion I think its a little bit extreme because the media usually encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and by exercising, so to here that there are people out there that are against weight loss is quite bizarre to me.

London zoo gorilla broke enclosure glass twice before escape I recently found this story from the Guardian about a gorilla called kumbuka that escaped the enclosure at London zoo on Thursday evening it was reported that he broke out of his area and was later tranquillised by the vets and was brought back to his area. It has been reported that the london zoo have said that they are going to carry out a full investigation which has been described as a minor accident. Sources have stated that the cage door was left open. I chose this story because I usually here about animals escaping the zoo in movies and to here that a real life zoo animal escaped the zoo is quite astonishing. I also think that the zoo keepers should be more careful and should make sure that they close the cage, luckily for them no one was hurt.
