This text is easy to understand

This text is a bit harder

There are some intense events in the film. 

I will read you one scene from the book before we start 

We'll watch the film now. After every 30 minutes, we'll stop and you will work in your groups.

Break 1 - Discuss in groups:
Has anyone you know been pulled over by the police? Why (not)?

Break 2

Work in your group:

What emotions did you see during and after the funeral?

Pick two and explain why people feel like that.

Are there any emotions you find hard to understand?

Break 3

Do you think that Chris is a good choice of boyfriend for Starr?

Why would you think that?

The End

Throughout the film Starr became increasingly active and outspoken. 

What does she do? Why does she do that?

Who supports her and who tries to stop her?

Question 1:

How are these themes related to the news articles we read at the start?

Question 2:

How do these themes show in Dutch society?

Final discussion

What themes can you identify in the film?
