[RSCT] Fw: [MCP] Films about Genocide? Films about Hegemony?

[Siv K Spain]

Paul,

Here's a film from a PBS miniseries on the topic of genocide in the 20th century: http://ffh.films.com/id/4113/Genocide_The_Horror_Continues.htm 

The series is called The Genocide Factor:

The are others listed below it that you also might find interesting. 

Good luck!

  Here are a few for thought -

  The Killing Fields - the true story of a Cambodian journalist who survived the horrors of Pol Pot's regime
  Apocalypto - genocide of indigenous populations 
  The Devil Came on Horseback - Dafur genocide
  Salvador - the war in El Salvador
  Voces Innocentes - the war in El Salvador as experienced by a young boy

  Good luck!

  Hello, friends.

  I'm trying to identify a few films that deal with genocide/holocausts. I know of some of the popular ones such as Hotel Rwanda, but I wonder if you have any other ideas. Does anybody know, for example, of a film that frames the annihilate of Native Americans explicitly as genocide? Or African slaves in North America? What about something related to native peoples that might be even more contemporary? Or even something about Rwanda other than Hotel Rwanda? Or something that looks across several different genocides?

  If you could send me a title and short description of any ideas you might have, that would be wonderful.

  I'm looking, as well, for films that might capture the notion of hegemony for first year undergraduate college students. Any ideas on this?

  Thanks for any help you offer.

  Best,

  Paul
