#75 What movie opened your eyes about an issue so powerfully that you think every adult should see it?
Last fight we discussed movies that inspired us to do something. Shannon took the prize once again, earning the right to ask:
What movie opened your eyes about an issue so powerfully that you think every adult should see it?
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.

I want to list about five movies…but I’m going to say The Stoning Of Soraya M. It is brutal (we actually skipped at least half of the stoning scene because I didn’t want to see it all) but so important for people to understand what women still live under. It’s not just about the stoning, but it also exposes all the treatment and abuse and community iniquity that lead to it. The story unveils brilliantly and the acting is powerful, such a great movie — but one that you’ll probably only want (or need) to see once.
