So, I love watching movies. I also enjoy a large range of themes. I thought I would share some of my favorites. Basically that is it. Feel free to give recommendations in the comments. I got an IMDb account, so check out my lists there (username: clar-bar).
North Korea Documentary Series
1. National Geographic: Inside North Korea (An Overview)
2. A State of Mind (State Ideology)
3. Kimjongilia (Forced Labor Camps, the Lives of Soldiers, and tales from Other Escapees)
4. Seoul Train (The Underground Railroad)
Other Suggestions: The Juche Idea and Crossing the Line
*Vice (available on YouTube) have a number of interesting reports related to North Korea
Diversity in the United States Film Series
This came about because I am studying in Japan and I feel like many Japanese people are not familiar with race relations in general. If you look at laws relating to visas and citizenship you can get a pretty good idea how welcoming said country is to immigrants or foreigners. For example, South Korea requires for the visa to get HIV tested. Anyway, I am tutoring some people in English and I gave some recommendations for movies where this is a major theme. I think it is an entertaining but still though provoking way to introduce the issue to people. I wanted to include a number of things because diversity does not just related to race. Therefore, some of these issues will be more familiar than others for people outside the United States. I haven't thought of a list of movies dealing with economic class. (One that I can think of is The Pursuit of Happyness(2006).) I also did not come up with a particular order to watch the films in.
