HOSPITAL shows the daily activities of a large urban hospital with the emphasis on the emergency ward and
outpatient clinics. The cases depicted illustrate how medical expertise, availability of resources,
organizational considerations, and the nature of communication among the staff and patients affect the
delivery of appropriate health care.

A cinema verité view of the day-to-day activities of policemen on the Kansas City, Missouri police force. The police are followed through a series of routine actions: locating a stolen purse, caring for a lost child, arresting a prostitute, and settling family problems.

Producer and director Frederick Wiseman takes his camera into a high school in 1968 and records events as they occur. Told without narration, the film essentially listens in on students, teachers and parents as they deal with issues of everyday life. Students are clearly meant to do as they are told without question - many of the teachers are autocratic in this respect - and the developing clash of cultures is evident in almost every scene. The role these young women are expected to play after high school is particularly archaic by today's standards.

怀斯曼第二部纪录片《高中》(1968)记录了费城东北高中的师生互动，通过将家长座谈、性教育演讲、课堂讨论和教务惩戒等独立场景反映现代教育机构的权力运作模式。以直接电影手法、尤其是大量的局部特写作为社会学检验方式，貌似无序的剪辑实则通过独立场景的并置达到叙事的递进，从而不断深入教育权力手段的弊端在空间和时间维度的影响。（小易甫字幕组）
