Films That Matter

Film and television are powerful platforms for artists and activists to share stories from around the world. Whether on the big screen at our local cinemas or the small screen at home, cinema allows us to empathize with others and metaphorically walk in their shoes.

Below is a curated list of narrative films, documentaries, and television series—each offering a profound exploration of some of the most pressing issues in our society today, as well as historical injustices that deserve greater recognition. These works are not only compelling pieces of art but also urgent calls to action—reminders of our shared history, with all its flaws and complexities.

I highly recommend each of them, both as engaging storytelling and as essential viewing for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the world around us.
