I'll tag on to Barb's post -- if zombies work, I thought 28 Weeks Later 
was a rare sequel that works better than the original.

[Videolib] looking for FEATURE FILMS on global health

2015-01-29 Thread Wochna, Lorraine
Hi everyone,

I have a faculty who would like to introduce 'global health' issues (any and 
all) using a FEATURE FILM.  Not a documentary.
I am tapped, cannot think of any titles that cover the subject of global health.
She is willing to go outside the box - Blood Diamond is too far outside the 
box, but she is looking for any issue on global health (AIDS, viruses, dirty 
water causes malaria, etc.)
ANY ideas are greatly appreciated.
Really though, no docs.

Thank you,

may be useful.

Contagion is an excellent suggestion.


There's also the classics Omega Man, Andromeda Strain, and Invasion of
the Body Snatchers. Others are Outbreak (which is great fun about a
deadly serious subject, and suspenseful),  Gilliam'sTwelve Monkeys, which
is based on Marker's La Jetee, or to be silly and over the top
Cronenberg's first film Shivers,  that really does drive home the serious
matter of global contagions. There is one more that I just cannot think of;
it was set in contemporary London, and quite realistically shows how social
order quickly erodes in the face of widespread panic over a virus, not
unlike the bubonic plague. I want to say it was an HBO production. I will
certainly send it if I can think of it.
