Five perfect films to transmit solidarity
The family has many tasks when it comes to raising children. One of them is undoubtedly the transmission of values: at home children learn what is important and what is not, education, composure and, of course, a lot of ethical values, among which solidarity stands out. Although the best way to convey solidarity is the parents' own example, this value can also be learned in films.
It's not the first time we talked about the importance of cinema as a means of transmitting ideas. It can be used to explain to the children certain values such as family, friendship, respect or caring for the environment thanks to the different sequences that occur in the movies. Solidarity is another value that can be learned through feature films, such as the ones we bring here.
Of course, for choose a movie that transmits values to children we must take into account their age: a child of six years does not have the same maturity or comprehension capacity as a child of 11 years, so they can not internalize important values in the same way.
In this article we have selected five films ideal for working solidarity. An afternoon at home can be the perfect time to enjoy of family cinema while Important values such as solidarity are internalized.

Paul (Don Cheadle) is the manager of the Mille Colline hotel in Kigali, Rwanda. The hatred between the Hutu (the ruling ethnic group in the country) and the Tutsis is becoming more and more evident, and it is not long before the riots begin in the streets for the assassination of the nation's president.
