Well, firstly I do not watch a lot of movies which makes this quite a challenging task of actually finding a text. I got a good book and am trying to find a film so...

Does anyone know any films that are about Africa?

or...

War films around WWII particularly if it involving an invasion of a country.

Thanks.

For Africa, not sure why you want to be so specific, but you could look at "Blood Diamond" which has some strong belonging themes though it can be over shadowed by the war/violence scenes, and not sure about your WW2 film...

Hotel Rwanda, Blood Diamond and The Last King of Scotland are both very good films, in regards to being based on africa.

For WW2, Saving private ryan is a good one.

I agree with Hotel Rwanda (my History & Memory related) and Blood Diamond. However, while you may be interested in the war/African scenes, you can't let this overshadow your Belonging essay! If it's not directly linked to belonging - don't say it.

You'll have to watch the movies to see if you feel that you can expand on the belonging aspects enough for an essay. Good luck! :)

O yea, this isn't the essay I'm doing but the speech. I'm not too sure if it's the same for every school.
