Social problem film

Are you familiar with movies and how they tell stories? Well, some movies are not just made for entertainment, but to help you learn important things about the world. These types of movies are called "social problem films."

In these movies, filmmakers are trying to show you something important that's happening in the world that needs to be changed. They might be telling you about things like poverty, discrimination, or bullying.

The movie will have characters who are facing these problems, and you will see how their experiences show the bigger issues at hand. Watching these movies will help you learn more about these problems and what you can do to help solve them.

Even though they might not show you happy things all the time, social problem films help you become a more informed and empathetic person, which is essential in making the world a better place.
