Recommended Movies

Below are the recommended movies for each major category. I have personally seen every one and whole-heartedly recommend them. The list is sorted in order of importance (in my opinion).

Some of the more popular movies have become mainstream and can be found at Blockbuster or Netflix. Unfortunately, most of these movies don't have major labels and you might need to buy it from the producers directly. I've linked the movies to Amazon (if available) or to the producer's website.

If possible, hold screenings of the movies for your friends (Please check with the producer to see if this is allowed/legal). I personally think that movies are a great way to introduce friends into the topic because it only requires a 1-2 hour investment.

Lastly, to decrease the environmental impact and to save money, please try to find "alternative" methods to get your resources. Check the book out from your local library if possible. If you have to buy it, try getting it from a local used book store. If you do end up purchasing a book, be a resource to your friends and lend it to them to spread the awareness.
