History at the Movies

Films often reflect the typical feelings and events associated with specific periods of time. They are a great way to understand the perspectives and thought processes of people from different eras.

In order to further explore the role of movies in U.S. and world history, the International Education Program will screen films with historical topics for high school students. These special viewings will be preceded by study guides so students can approach them in a historical context. Also, screenings will be followed by a discussion, giving students the opportunity to share their opinions of the films and compare its themes with today’s world.
