The first new movie is Whale Rider. This is the story of a girl named Pai, who has to battle with her grandfather to prove that she can lead their tribe as well as any man. Having a woman leader goes against all Maori (a New Zealand tribe) traditions.
We also now have Glory. This is the story of the first "black" regiment to fight for the North in the Civil War. It's an excellent story of unity.
Finally, we have Rabbit-Proof Fence. In this movie the Australian government trains aboriginal children as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. This is the story of three girls escaping from their interment camp.
