This movie was recommended to me by a former professor of mine who uses the film in his Teacher Education courses.
 
Though billed as a comedy, Ciao Professore, touches on serious issues. Set in rural Italy, the film explores the idea of compulsory schooling, pragmatic education and portrays the teacher as both educator and "educatee". It also makes the important distinction between education and schooling. The main character, Marco Spirelli, hails from an urban background and struggles, at times, to overcome the cultural divides that separate him from his students.
 

 
A stirring look at the Hip Hop scene in Palestine (yeah, I said it).
 
A good deal of the conversation around Hip Hop seems to be laden with racial discourse around "Black" and "White"... We tend to ignore that it resonates with all shades of culture... Arabs, Africans, Europeans, South Americans... Humans in general.
