1980s movies that shaped our humanity
🕑 Added 2018-04-01 05:02:30 +0000 UTC Since I often discuss the negative impacts of entertainment on this channel, I thought it would be nice to do an episode focusing on more positive media. So in this video I highlight 5 movies about empathy and solidarity from the 1980s that had a profound impact on me and my values growing up.

I'm collecting examples here.
