Movies also have the ability to educate us about different cultures, historical events, and social issues. They can take us on a journey through time and give us a glimpse into different perspectives and experiences.
"Tears of Gaza" harrowing documentary on the fate of families during and after Israel’s bombing of Gaza in Operation Cast Lead, 2008-2009. The film shows the devastating effects of war on the women and children living in Gaza, and the difficulties faced in their everyday lives. Forced to live in tents or ruins, food, water, money, and electricity are in short supply. The film is based on the imagery taken by people themselves in Gaza during the war, with some additional material from the few foreign journalists who were present. It is a documentary film of 90 minutes length. Directed by Vibeke Løkkeberg.
One such movie is “Schindler’s List”, which tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a businessman who saved the lives of over a thousand Jews during the Holocaust. The movie not only sheds light on one of the darkest periods in history but also teaches us about compassion, courage, and the power of standing up for what is right. It serves as a powerful reminder to never forget the atrocities of the past and to always strive for a more just and inclusive society.
“Hidden Figures” is another movie that educates and inspires. Based on a true story, it follows the lives of three African-American women who were instrumental in NASA’s space program during the 1960s. The movie sheds light on the significant contributions of these women, who faced discrimination and adversity due to their race and gender. It serves as a reminder that everyone has the potential to make a difference, regardless of their background or circumstances.
