The Hate U Give - Movie Recommendation

The Hate U give is a movie (2018) based on a novel by the same name. It follows a 16- year old girl named Starr Carter. She comes from a stereotypical black neighborhood in america but attends a mostly white high school. One night, after going to a party, her childhood friend Khalil gives her a lift home. They are stopped by an white police officer and Khalil is shot by the officer.



This movie is very relevant as police brutality is a prevalent issue in the US and is being talked about all around the world.

Our first recommendation is the film The Swap(2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTSf-4rDFFo The Swap is about two teenagers who have exchanged their bodies and take advantage of this in their everyday life. Instead of fighting to win the first place in the hockey match, Jake has to take , Ellie’s place in gymnastics and protect her friendship with Sassy. Meanwhile Ellie must play hockey with his bigger brothers, a game she doesn‘t understand. This does not prevent them from being successful and come back into their own bodies. The teens are forced to walk in one another’s shoes and they learn valuable lessons about the opposite gender. We really recommend this film because there are not enough movies like The Swap. The whole film is connected with our topic and presents gender roles in our society in a rather humorous way.   We would also like to recommend Disney’s The Beauty and the Beast . Watch the two versions – the cartoon of 1991 and the 2017 li

The Bletchley Circle This series follows the lives of a group of middle-aged women who worked in Bletchley Park during World War 2. After the war ends, they must continue with their normal lives, no longer decoding messages from the German’s famous ‘Enigma’. The show highlights their positions and everything which was taken away from these women as the war ended. When one of these women comes forward to the police, having found a pattern linking a series of grisly murders, she is dismissed. Time and time again the women in this show are dismissed and it can be agreed upon that this accurately demonstrates women’s position in English society at the time. Disregarding the series’ relevance to gender issues, I would recommend it just for being compelling.   Have you heard of the play “How to date a feminist” by Samantha Ellis?  Have a look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptwh2sueIj8 At the moment it is being played at Karlsruhe, Badisches
