Common Mistakes

Common Mistakes is a documentary film directed by Jeanne C. Finley.

Common Mistakes uses four synonyms for the word "mistake" (fallacy, error, accident, and blunder) to present a sample of widely held "truths" that later proved to be misconceptions. The mistakes are illustrated with documentary, before and after photographs, diagrams, and video footage, and are prefaced with a clip from a children's educational film on how to prevent accidents.
