Any ideas for films related to workplace diversity or discrimination?

Mad Men. Not a film but it certainly covers discrimination.

9 to 5
Norma Rae

Ugly Betty?

Thanks. Any particular episodes of TV shows?

Made in Dagenham is an excellent film about women fighting for equality in the workplace.

In the Heat of the Night

Cesar Chavez

The Help

What are the lesson objectives? Knowing those could better help us pick out movies or scenes to support them.

If you want a tried and true video regarding discrimination, any of Jane Elliott’s work. Here is one that targets racism.

The Butler

The Butler

Snap!

Bound for Glory, about Woody Guthry, is a good film but it might not be considered entirely about discrimination and diversity.

Bread and Roses

The Pursuit Of Happyness

Flashdance. A woman is a welder, and seems to be accepted there. She is also a dancer, and must break through social barriers to be accepted with the ballet.

Office Space? ;)

G.I. Jane
Men Of Honor
The Tuskegee Airmen

The first covering gender, the other two ethnicity.

Can school be considered a work place?
If so, A Smile As Big As The Moon is a very good story with a valuable point, or four.

Baby Boom

Outsourced
My boss thought of that one. I haven’t seen it yet.

I got it mixed up. The movie is called Outsourced India.

@Pied_Pfeffer – I am teaching a course called Multiculturalism in the Professional World to a bunch of undergraduates. Really, Diversity in the Workplace would be a better name.

The Movie Crash is a good example of that.

One could make the argument that Blazing Saddles fits the questions criteria.

Of course you’ll have the decency not to mention that I answered this question…

Of Mice and Men
