Norma Rae – textile workers’ rights
Erin Brockevich – environmental degradation
Selma – civil rights
Schindler’s List – the Holocaust and one man’s saving of Jewish lives
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner – interracial dating
Loving – intermarriage and the Supreme Court challenge
Milk – Harvey Milk and gay rights
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner – class struggle
I could go on but it’s getting late. I guess Milk was one of my favorites but there are many good ones.
“Supersize Me” – Obesity in the US
Milk – The true story of Harvey Milk, kind of the Martin Luther King Jr. of gay rights.
Cyberbully – High school bullying using social media.
Odd Girl Out – Again high school bullying but is older and less internet-based than Cyberbully.
Changling (2008) – You didn’t specify that it had to be current. This a true story of one of the most heinous cases of police corruption in history.
Front of the Class – The struggles of special needs people to fit into society and their ability to succeed nonetheless.
Supersize Me – A documented experiment that illustrates the health detriments of fast food.
Learning to Drive – A large part of this film is strong Immigrant discrimination in the US.
Human Flow on the refugee crisis is topical and very moving.
Walking Dead – the death penalty.
China Syndrome – danger of nuclear power.
@zenvelo: “Walking Dead – the death penalty.”
That’s an interesting take on The Walking Dead. :)
I suspect you meant Dead Man Walking.
