Hi Autumn: What exactly is the purpose for this assignment? What specifically do you want your students to know and be able to do as a result of engaging in this assignment? Additionally, what specific use are you going to make of your students' reflections? I think that once you are certain about the purpose and outcomes of this assignment -- you will be able to select an appropriate film to show. Good Luck.
