for my social justice class, we have to find a piece of media that has a scene that has to deal with a social justice issue like immigration, poverty, racism, environment. Any ideas? Thanks for any help..
Movies that have to do with injustice?!?!?

Boys Don't Cry. {Based on the rape and murder of Brandon Tina.]
Solder's Girl' [Based on the beating death of Private First Class Barry Winchell.]

Reply:One interesting film is "From here to Eternity".
A big part of the film is about how a big, strong bad guy gets over on a smaller, weaker heroic guy. The smaller guy is Frank Sinatra and what happens to him in the film is tragic.
So the social injustice is basically about the strong over the weak. The scene where Sinatra goes back to the jail says it all.
