So here are the movies/documentaries that I know of that are on Social Justice topics. Thanks to all the SACs who attended the YSJT 2007 who helped me compile this list so far.
This is simply meant to be a very beginning, and I hope that you will let me know of any others you know of, and that we can make this list grow! Also, if you have seen any of these movies and would like to send in a little blurb so others know what it’s about, that would also be great! Once this list has become a bit longer and more comprehensive (with several movies on lots of different topics), I will post in on the YRUU website!
Drumbeat for Darfur (genocide)
The Wilderness Journey (racism, civil rights movement)
Born into Brothels
People Like Us (Classism)
Iraq for sale
When the Levees Broke (racism, Hurricane Katrina)

I just discovered that the YRUU website has a whole movie guide (with discussion questions and everything) for a handful of anti-racism related movies. Check it out: http://www25.uua.org/YRUU/resources/online/armovieg.htm
