Please Help Select A Film For Haiti Fundraiser

Ok, so I'm helping to run a fundraiser for Haiti, I need a good (Great?) movie to show. It must be appropiate for younger children and have a theme of social justice, specifically Tikkun Olam, which is just the idea of making the world a better place.

Maybe Gandhi? It's a really good movie and, as I'm sure you can imagine, it's about social justice and making the world a better place.

Which? The 1982 one? Is it actually good?

Yeah, the one from 1982. It's a great movie that won a whole bunch of Oscars.

You're showing films to raise money and you don't actually know of any good films? Some fundraiser that will be.

I know plenty, but there will be second graders there...It will be quite the fundraiser, we're getting cheeseboard and Ben And Jerry's to cater (For free). If you're in the Bay Area you should stop by and enter our raffle!

I'll think on it, I'm sure I've seen a lot and can't think of the names.

I love the Gandhi movie, we watched it in history in 7th grade. Seems like a good enough choice to me.

Haha, my 7th grade history teacher was crazy in a sometimes funny, usually really annoying way. But she would often put on movies in class, usually which had nothing to do with actual history

. For instance when studying Asia we watched Mulan, and this:

I also remember seeing a movie about Julius Caesar and one about Odysseus when we were reading (a fucking very badly edited version of) the Odyssey, because she also taught Language Arts.

But she skipped all the sex scenes, and most of the action
