My children are lovers of foreign films, and the girls fell in love with international cinema as toddlers.
Indian movies are their favorite. They were captivated by Bollywood beats from the moment they first heard them, and they were spellbound by each storyline they saw unfold on screen.
As time went on, they expanded their international film list from Bollywood favorites to intriguing, and often complex, stories from all around the globe. These films, over time, would shape so much of who they would become.
I, myself, have always been an international movie geek. When I was fifteen, I became enamored with Italian films after watching Il Postino. I spent months reading Pablo Neruda’s passionate love poems after watching it, and I dreamed of living in a small Italian village.
Everything about foreign films enraptured me; there was something about the way international cinema took me on intense emotional rollercoasters, only to leave me with a cliffhanger at the end. There was something about the ambiguous tailspin my heart would be left in that always drew me back to these movies, although my emotions would be a wreck!
These films made me think and feel in new ways, and they opened my eyes to worlds I didn’t know existed.
You see, before I had my passport I had a Blockbuster card. The foreign film section was always my first stop; I’d rummage through the shelves, sometimes for over an hour, searching for cinematic masterpieces. Foreign movies showed me the world long before I ever traveled overseas.
I’ve passed my love of global cinema on to my children, and you can do the same with yours.
My junior high teachers were radical hippies from the 1960s and they taught us in very unconventional ways. In seventh grade, one of my favorite teachers, Cindy Gomez, taught a class on social history. We learned about adolescent social developments and social history from the 1930s-1980s by watching movies from each of these decades.
All Quiet on the Western Front taught me about the struggles of a young German soldier’s return to civilian life after fighting in the trenches during WWI, and The Breakfast Club gave a glimpse into suburban high school students in the 1980s. To Sir With Love opened our eyes to 1960s London and its racial and class issues, and Easy Rider drew us into the world of the end of the 1960s and the lives of two free-spirited, motorcycle riding friends on a adventurous journey of self-discovery.
Most don’t realize that movies are powerful learning tools.
Whether one’s family homeschools or not, one can easily incorporate films as supplemental learning material for one’s children.
There is so much educational value in foreign films.
Pahuna is a heartwarming story of three Nepalese siblings who end up on the adventure of a lifetime.

When the children hear one of the village elders say that the church they are seeking refugee in has priests who eat children and who take their religion from them, they decide not to follow the rest of their neighbors and will have to survive on their own.

Daawat-e-Ishq is one of our all-time favorite movies.

Babies is a documentary that follows four newborns from Japan, the United States, Namibia and Mongolia from birth until their first year.

Yes, this is another African-child-in-poverty-who-defeats-the-odds film. Despite this reality, Queen of Katwe is definitely worth seeing. The film is based on the true story of 10-year-old Phiona, a young Ugandan girl who becomes a chess champion. Before chess, Phiona’s life consisted of household chores and helping her mother and siblings sell maize in the market. Phiona’s life drastically changes when she stumbles upon children learning to play chess.
I don’t like films that showcase African slums and poverty, but I do appreciate that it was Phiona’s African coach and his wife that encouraged her in her education and competitive skills.
Where to watch: Queen of Katwe can be streamed on Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play and YouTube.
Update: Queen of Katwe can be streamed on Disney Plus.
Learn to play chess. It would be fun for your children to learn how to play chess and arrange chess competitions between them.

One of the main themes of the movie is “where you come from doesn’t determine where you have to stay.” Talk to your children about this idea and see if they’re feeling any limitations in their lives.

Dangal is based on the true story of Mahavir Singh and his daughters, Geeta and Babita. Mahavir was a rising star in wrestling when his father made him quit the sport he loved. For fun, he coached boys’ wrestling, waiting for the day that he’d have a son of his own to coach.
As fate would have it, Mahavir had four daughters and no sons; he felt like his dream of winning an international medal could never come to pass. That is until the day his oldest daughters, Geeta and Babita, beat up two boys after school. Mahavir was so impressed by the damaged they caused and realized that wrestling was in their blood—he didn’t need sons to have international wrestling champions.
This was a crazy idea, of course, as there were no girls wrestling in India at the time. Mahavir demanded that his daughters no longer helped with household chores and began to train them as wrestlers.
The girls begin to win wrestling matches against boys and eventually find girls to compete against. It is truly a powerful story that will have you cheering at the tv—my daughters were so inspired by the girl power in this story!

In the film, the father breaks cultural norms by having his daughters wear shorts, cut their hair and wrestle boys—talk about the courage it takes to break the mold, and what culture norms may need to be broken in your own lives.
Mahavir, Geeta and Babita have inspired thousands of girls across India to wrestle. Ask your children how they can inspire others.
Talk to your daughters about the limitations they may feel in their lives. Even if you are empowering your daughters and teaching them that they are not limited by their gender, you never know what subconscious messages they may be absorbing.
Have gender reverse day in your home. If mom does most of the cooking and laundry, set aside a special day where any men and boys in the house do these jobs typically seen as “women’s work.”
