<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, Paul. I've enjoyed your emails for some time now
so thanks for all that you do. Regarding your search for films about
genocide:<br>
<br>
In my multicultural education classes at San Diego State University I have used
"El Norte" for years and it's had a great deal of impact on my
students, who are largely future teachers. Also:<br>
<br>
The Killing Fields<br>
Salvador<br>
Thunderheart<br>
A Dry White Season<br>
Come See the Paradise<br>
Whale Rider (you might also
consider "Once were warriors" about the Maori)<br>
Zapatista<br>
<br>
There's also an excellent film about Palestinians called "Occupation
101."<br>
<br>
Good luck! -Jesus<br>

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?<o:p></o:p></p>

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first,
the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, <br>
the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get

-Edward Dowling<br>

"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are
alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget
your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and
vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To
pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate
what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try
and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to
forget."
