Third World Films: A Strategy for Promoting Geographic Understanding.

Macdonald, Gerald M.

Journal of Geography, v89 n6 p253-59 Nov-Dec 1990

Suggests that feature films produced in developing nations can serve as an aid to geographic instruction because they visually represent conditions of daily life. Uses two films, "Salaam Bombay" and "Sugar Cane Alley," to illustrate geographic understanding. Appendices include information on film distributors, background readings, and study guides for the two films. (NL)
