Orange Is the New Black: Tit Punch (2013)
review
My initial thought about the web series orange is the black is of the following in my opinion i personally feel like the first two episodes were very well presented due to the fact the main protagonist (piper chapman) kind of counter typed from the stereotype of all blonde women being dumb,clueless,and unaware of whats happening. As in the show she is seen to be quite smart yet shows some elements of naitivity this is evident by the fact in the show when she says "i read your not suppose to answer those question" this suggest that she is trying to adapt to prison the way it says in book. On the other hand, in parts of the show she can be seen adhering to blonde American lady by saying "by the time I'm out there will be 5 new generations of i phones" this implies that she is a mainstreamer meaning that she wants to keep up with the latest trends just like all common American white middle aged women. The entire web series kind of steers from women prison for example the main the protagonist is white however, in our day and age its normally black females who are in prison. Furthermore we meet pipers ex girlfriend Alex vause (Laura Prepon) she is the one who she originally committed the crime with which ultimately made her go to jail. Alex and piper had a lesbian relationship behind her boyfriends back "jew boy" Jason biggsl Larry bloom.
Murdered by My Father (2016)
review
In this particular documentary it gives us an insight of something called honour killings which is also know as shame killing. In addition to this honour killings is where a family member commits homicide on one of their family members for bringing shame or dishonour on to the family. Murdered by my father gave us a narrative prospective of honour killings it was broadcasted by bbc 3 the director of the documentary was a man called Bruce goodison. The documentary touches on topics such as arranged marriage which is a huge controversy in the Asian community this is evident by when her dad says "she's promised" this implies that she's already been promised to another man. However Selma(daughter) is in love in with another man called (imi)and has a secret relationship with him. The type of documentary is fly on wall. It also has elements of misogyny this is evident by Selma being treated as a house wife since her mother has unfortunately passed away. Moreover, her dad finds out that she has been running away and truanting. School is very important in the Asian community you can see this by Selma dad saying "she needs to study first". This makes the father feel dishonoured and betrayed and that she has brought shame on the family ("when they look at you they see me")meaning the only right thing to do is kill her. Then violence lets loose when Selma gets murdered by her father and her couldn't live himself so he decided to kill himself.
