Assess how Mighty Jerome reconstructs Harry Jerome’s life story and struggles by examining the decision of the filmmakers to shoot exclusively in black and white. In addition to reconstructing several museum installations as a backdrop to the interviews that occur with key people in Jerome’s life, there are dramatic recreations of events from Jerome’s life. How ethical are these filmmaking decisions given that the documentary is a memoir about a public figure?
