You �ll find a fairly comprehensive list on racism-related movies here from Wikipedia (perhaps you �ve already checked it). I recognise most, but not all, of these films and some (like �White Chicks �, for example) rely on different racial/ethnic perspectives primarily for humorous purposes.
By the way, many of the films of the English director, Ken Loach ( �Ae Fond Kiss � on the list), deal with different and equally repugnant forms of discrimination.
PS �Invictus�, Alberto. (it means �undefeated�)

Invictus is the best in my opinion, besides the leading actors are very well known to students Matt Damon (the Bourne Ultimatum) and Morgan Freeman. What �s more they are exposed to a different accent, that from South Africa. I just loved it when I watched it myself. Morgan freeman plays the role of Mandela another great contemporary black leader just like Martin Luther king. If you are also interested in reading a lovely poem conected with tolerance plase look for "The Box of Crayons". If you want, I can send to you and to all other collegues who want to deal with this value. Love from Argentina Naty |

If your students are above the age of sixteen I would recommend District 9. It is an action packed sci-fi movie and it �s based on the history of South Africa and the apardheid times. Invictus is not too bad either.
