The Power of Media

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking through some ways to expose our church and students to the plight of the world's poor and sick. What better way than through movies?

Can you help me compile a list of "must-see" movies that increase our awareness and move our hearts? They don't necessarily have to be social justice movies, nor do they need to be documentaries. I'm looking for movies that expand our perspective on the world.

Here's what I've put down:

• Blood Diamond - great movie about diamond trafficking, human enslavement, and child soldiers
• Hotel Rwanda - movie about fighting between tribes in Rwanda
• Born into Brothels - documentary about children in prostitution district of India
• Tears of the Sun - action movie about genocide in Africa

Anything else that anyone can add?
