Paul et al, I've taught a class that included pre-digital communication using: Die Weise Rose (The White Rose, 1982), a fictional account of real students at Munich University during World War Two who began to question Germany's Nazi government and forming a resistance cell. A printing press, and the DIY ability to create underground dissent through words and paper, are prevalent in the film. And the social change they sparked and their example of dissent unquestionably had a worldwide impact.

Dear colleagues
I am teaching a course on media, culture and society, and am introducing a new assessment piece - a movie review. I am going to give students a selection of movies to choose from that have as a key element the role of communications technologies (including social media) on social change, social relations and identify.
I have already identified the following:
* Her - on operating systems and the self
* The Truman Show - on reality tv and public/private nexus
* The Enemy of the State - on surveillance technologies
* You've got mail (maybe) - on email and relationships
* Good morning Vietnam (maybe) - on radio and community building
I welcome any other suggestions and commendations. They can be old technologies, current or predicted new ones (ie sci fi).
