(Name-mce) ListServ (Name-mce) Most Important Films

[ZS Worotynec]

Another great Poll!

Red Hot Ballroom, semi-new documentary about teaching ballroom dancing to 
elementary school-aged children. For me, it makes a great argument for 
multilingual education (and better public funding, etc.).

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Not obviously 'multicultural', but addresses 
isms, bias, and etc. Based on the book.

Bend it Like Beckham.
