We started a foreign film club after school for students who were struggling in reading. Because of the closed captions and the interesting themes, culture and music, the children have started reading the closed captions to figure out what is going on. Children of Heaven, The Red Balloon, as well as the Tin Cup and other Journeys in Film movies got us started. Now parents are renting foreign films at home.
