Film is a valuable tool for young people whose identities are still being shaped and forged. It can act as a window into the wider world, and offers contexts and points of view that might otherwise be closed to them.
Watching a film from another part of the world can provide insights into other cultures in a moving and immediate way, and seeing characters on screen that one can identify with can help to generate empathy amongst peers and promote group interaction. Similarly, looking at how one's own country's film culture has changed over the years and responded to different events can be effective in helping develop cultural understanding.
