The Bronswik Affair

The Bronswik Affair is something else i can tell you that. When we were first shown it in class we went into it thinking that is was completely real, but as it turns out the documentary that is the Brownswik Affair is actually a mockumentary (fake documentary).

This mockumentary depicts a time when TV were first invented and everybody owned one. It was about one television set called the Bronswik that's seemed to have a connection to strange happenings. The people who owned on of these sets would for some reason find themselves needing to buy mass quantities of certain products.

Eventually in the mockumentary they say that scientist looked over the television set and found a small deice that compelled people to buy these products.

Most of us didn't think it was true do to the fact that something like a mind control device in a TV would of come up at some point, and also the film was very cheesy. It had bad animation and very bad actors. But their was a part of me that thought well maybe it is true because why would my teacher make us watch something that was fake? But it was fake.

What would be the point to making a fake documentary? in my opinion, i believe they did it to teach the public not to believe everything that they see on TV.

I mean you had to be really dumb to believe this 100%
