Kid-friendly movies about injustice that aren't about African-American civil rights?

I'm student teaching 6th grade right now and I came in partway into a long unit about "injustice", which I am supposed to keep planning. They've spent a few weeks on African-American civil rights, which is of course important and relevant, however, I'd like to use some other forms of such injustice that has gone on or is going on around the world.



Are there any kid-friendly movies, short films, or even documentaries that I could show about anything from the Irish troubles to apartheid South Africa?Kid-friendly movies about injustice that aren't about African-American civil rights?Norma Rae- about the labor movement Vendetta( 1999 tv movie)- about the lynching of Italians in New OrleansKid-friendly movies about injustice that aren't about African-American civil rights?Check out the documentary Paperclips - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380615/comb鈥?/a>

Try PBS's American Experience series

The Roberto Clemente story is good one. Season 20 episode 12.

"We Shall remain" season 21 episode 5-9 On Native Americans in the US.
