Ranker: The 100+ Best Movies on Racism, Ranked

"Film provides a powerful medium for addressing societal injustices and prejudices. Certain films have captivated audiences with compelling storytelling, while shedding light on vital moments in history. "
"Take, for instance, the critically acclaimed film 12 Years a Slave, which offers unflinching insight into America's dark past through its chilling portrayal of Solomon Northrup's harrowing experiences in slavery. Similarly, To Kill a Mockingbird explores themes of racial injustice through the eyes of young Scout Finch as her father courageously defends an innocent black man accused of rape in small-town Alabama during the 1930s. Meanwhile, The Color Purple brings audiences face-to-face with sexism and racial oppression during the early 20th century in rural Georgia."
