Film is the most expressive art form there is because it can encompass all the elements of what makes great art. It can be a combination of writing, acting, music, film craft and narrative, all these together work to send a message to its audience.

Films dealing with racism and social prejudice are about the hottest topics that a film-maker can attempt. This hot button issue seems to never diminish in its ability to polarize opinions and ultimately film audiences.
