A:With Robert J. Flaherty's "Nanook of the North" in 1922, documentary film embraced romanticism; Flaherty filmed a number of heavily staged romantic films during this time period, often showing how his subjects would have lived 100 years earlier and not how they lived right then. Despite this, in "Nanook of the North", Flaherty encouraged his subjects to shoot a walrus with a nearby shotgun, rather than use a harpoon instead. Some of Flaherty's staging, such as building a roofless igloo for interior shots, was done to accommodate the filming technology of the time. B:Did Flaherty's subjects shoot a walrus with a shotgun? Answer: off

A:In the 1930s, the government of Nazi Germany began arresting thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses who saluted the Nazi flag with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm, and sent them for a year-long regimen of patriotic re-education. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the obligation imposed by the law of God is superior to that of laws enacted by government. Their religious beliefs include a literal version of Exodus, Chapter 20, verses 4 and 5, which says: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them." They consider that the flag is an 'image' within this command. For this reason, they refused to salute the flag. B:Given their adherence to their own religious beliefs, and the consequences they suffered, could Jehovah's Witnesses from Nazi Germany be considered martyrs under the rules set up by other major religions?

B:Is it possible that propaganda ministers in Nazi Germany could have found and distributed real photos of well-known Jehovah's Witnesses raising their arms in salute, and used these to show that even once-vocal critics were now followers of the Third Reich?
