Movie

The purpose of this movie is to not only educate people on what affirmative action is and why we need it, but also to draw attention to the visibility of the entire issue. Many people don’t recognize the underlying issues and behaviors that contribute to the real problem at hand, discrimination. This problem is sometimes completely hidden to some people because of where they live and the way they grew up. The reality is that whether we can see it or not, discrimination still exists. This video also clears up some facts about affirmative action. I hope that after watching this video, people will be more aware of the things they say and the way they view others. Certain attitudes and actions keep discrimination in our society. If we continue to discriminate, we must also continue to have affirmative action.
