Documentary Summary: Punch D Runk By Sammy Davis Jr.

A quote I saw once said that “Alcohol gives you infinite patience for stupid behaviour” by Sammy Davis, Jr. Good-Morning/ After-noon I’m Kirra Lee, I’m here to talk about one of the Four Corner Documentaries called the “Punch D runk”, uploaded February 26, in 2013 by Janine Cohen and Karen Michelmore. The purpose of this documentary is to tell us about violence while under the toxication of alcohol. My thesis towards this documentary is that we drink too much and the outcome to that is us reacting upon how much we intoxicate our-self with the alcohol substance and that makes them more disobedient with getting told what to do and some may lash out getting violent towards others .This documentary is presented with a range of scenarios, the first

They also show us shocking footage of what alcohol does to us, affect us and others depending how they respond to the substance. They use voiceover and background music while they show us pictures of either how Sam fords situation was like and how he was as a kid or photographs of people on the street, in a crowd in front of a clubs. They also us interviews to demonstrate the feelings we should be expressing while watching Punch Drunk and how we feel about drinking after we have watched the text and the actions people make without fully realising it through making us more aware of the consequences.
The filmmaker is known to be Janine Cohen and in this documentary she is not seen once in the making of this film, she has apparently been with the company for 40 years and was a writer for the bulletin newspaper before becoming a producer, for the four corners studio. This does not change the topic in this matter alcohol still would be a large topic in the youth today.
