  • 1.  Diversity movie - Equal Means Equal

    Posted 09-23-2016 12:42

    Hi Andrew and list-serve members,

     

    I recently saw a new documentary  at a film festival on the status of women in America that I thought was very good for campus showing and education.   It is called Equal Means Equal.

    Andrew, here's an offering from a long-time "lurker":  the documentary Murderball.  It depicts the members of the US quadriplegic rugby team as they prepare for an international competition.  As the back of the CD states, Murderball is "a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players: Quadriplegic rugby players...[It] tells the story of a group of world-class athletes unlike any ever shown on screen...it will smash every stereotype you ever had about the disabled...most of all, it is a film about standing up, even after your spirit -- and your spine -- has been crushed."

     

    It's a great film, and my students always enjoyed it, while opening their hearts and minds.  It's something quite different from the excellent films others have suggested.

    Thank you Stacy. Yes, I will definitely compile a list and share it with everyone. So far, I have got a lot of good ideas from the GDO members. Thanks a lot for your input.

    I have several movies that I use. My favorite is Gattaca. But I also like Real Women Have

    Curves, A League of Their Own, TransAmerica, Iron Jawed Angels, and Gravity.

    It would be great if you can share a list of the movies that you get from responses to this

    email. I'd love to see it and I bet other GDO members would too.

    Much success

    Stacy

    ps--I use Crash too but only one or two scenes because the cursing is a bit much

    Hello all,

     

    I want to seek out your assistance on diversity-related movies for a class assignment. I typically ask my students to watch a movie and then relate the movie to topics such as gender, identity, inter-group categorization, legal aspects of diversity, etc. I have used "The devil wears Prada" and "Remember the Titans" in previous assignments. I have considered the movie "Crash" but decided against it due to its R-rating. If you can share with me your choice of movies in your class and specific assignments related to the movies, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    Thank you for posing this generative request, Andrew! I look forward to seeing your list of films. 

    I found Zootopia to be very thought-provoking film about racial inequality, occupational choices, and identity (in addition to addressing the "nature" vs "nurture" argument for behavior). It also helps that the protagonist is a woman from the majority 'racial' group trying to balance her privileged and oppressed identities simultaneously. 

    Also, The Proposal addresses interesting gender dynamics of between a powerful woman boss and her young, male subordinate . He and his coworkers have a very interesting perspective of her character that may spark some class discussions regarding power, femininity, and dating in the office. 

    Hope that this helps!

    "Equal means Equal" is an excellent film and part of the campaign to re-energize ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (no, we do not have one yet!).  I believe it may be embargoed for use on college campuses until a particular time.  We looked into showing it at UWF but were unable to do so.  Certainly worth investigating!
