10 Movies That Called Out a Societal Issue Early According to MovieWeb

"More often than not, movies in and of themselves are representative of the time in which they were made. Then there are the films with a lot on their minds, possessing narratives that serve as an indictment against some specific societal slight against the innocent. Hollywood can be good for conveying a message on the macro-scale, and as time has progressed these intelligent films have become more and more insightful. Believe it or not, that wasn't always the case. In other words, films that comment on society in what is absolutely the wrong way, e.g. 'The Birth of a Nation,' needed not apply." - movieweb.com
