Political cinema

Political cinema is when movie or TV shows are made to express a point of view about politics or social issues. It's basically like telling a story through film to make people think about important topics.

For example, a movie could be made about the importance of standing up for what is right or how everyone deserves equal rights. These films are usually made to persuade people to think a certain way or act a certain way.

Political cinema tries to reflect the society's issues and force viewers to think about those issues. The movies might talk about a particular government or society's problem.

Sometimes, these films might even include real-life footage or events from history to make its point even stronger.

Political cinema can be seen as a tool for bringing positive change, to educate people about political issues or increase people's awareness about social concerns.
