Many of my favorites were already recommended, but I would add:
Ousmane Sembene BLACK GIRL
Euzhan Palcy A DRY WHITE SEASON
Euzhan Palcy SUGARCANE ALLEY
Mira Nair SALAAM BOMBAY
The point of adding any of these is that you shouldn't have an all-white
film series. These all bring race into the discussion (as do many of the
others already suggested.)
Last,but not least, a golden oldie that can be read this way in the
context of such a series: STAGECOACH
I'd love to know what you finally decide to run.
