B2. Uncomfortable

Issues of race, gender and prejudice are never far from the news, and different cultures have different perspectives. This English lesson is based on two award winning short films that share the same themes, but are presented in very different ways. Strangers is a dark and atmospheric short film set on a German metro train. The film challenges the assumptions of stereotypes. Traction on the other hand is a light-hearted comedy based on contemporary, social protocols and the dangers of virtue signalling. Both films feature a neat twist in the final act and generate a great vein of discussion amongst students.
