Invite your family or friends to watch a movie this weekend. Build on the “Power Plays” theme by picking a film such as Ghandi, Long Walk to Freedom, Invictus, The Interpreter, The Man in the Iron Mask,  Mississippi Burning, The Longest Yard,  Schindler’s List, or The Shawshank Redemption.

After the movie, talk about the power plays you observed in the film.

+ How was power used in positive ways?

+ In what ways did individuals or governments misuse or abuse their power?

+ What scenes in the movie helped you gain a deeper understanding of the power you have in and over the lives of others?

+ How will you use your power to effect positive change in your relationships? your school? your community? the world?
