Education

Ages 15 to 17
School subjects
The students in this film grapple with self-doubt, infighting, and fear. How do they deal with the conflict? Have students discuss how easy it is for communication to break down. What is more important: sticking to your principles or finding a compromise? Students can role play the conflict by taking on the various characters or perspectives. The goal here would be to reach a positive outcome where everyone is happy. Is that even possible?
