Villi1997 1,832 Posted February 3, 2015 Okay, my mom works at a job which is basically like an office for human rights, and i'm going to recommend to her some anime/movies/tv shows that have to do with that theme. Examples for what i'm going to recommend: Titmouse's Motorcity - Because in the series, a dictator has basically banned people from having personal freedoms. X-Men - Because mutants are like an allegory for oppressed minorities What else should i recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Movies798 1,360 Posted February 3, 2015 How about "The Office"? A tv show about a bunch of people working in a office. 1 PillowHead reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeyMouseSayCheese 1,133 Posted February 3, 2015 District 9. The Prawns are an allegory for pretty much any minority in history, and the movie does an excellent job at showing how human beings are the worst lifeforms to ever exist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Why would you recommend her some shows that would remind her of her job? That's like giving a chemist a chemistry set for Christmas....

Lu Xun 2,069 Posted February 3, 2015 Writers of Freedom (I'm not sure if that's the movie's name in English, it's "Escritores da Liberdade) It's a great movie about that topic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griann 59 Posted February 3, 2015 I don't know why they have to be in that theme, unless of course your mother asked you to recommend her something that deals with that specific topic, but most things I watch don't really focus on human rights, it might be mentioned at one point or another, but other than that nope.

Amon 4,279 Posted February 8, 2015 Schindler's List is one of the most incredible films ever made and fits this theme perfectly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozombie 4,554 Posted February 9, 2015 Amon's presence up there made me think of Legend of Korra. Systematic oppression of folks born with a trait that's seen as a danger to society would probably tickle some of your mom's fancies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted February 9, 2015 I'd recommend Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion. Basically, this anime is about an empire that has taken control of all the world, and they treat the people in Japan like crap, stripping them of their nationality and their pride and being renamed as the elevens. That's basically taking away their country's identity. The anime deals with a lot of oppression, and how Lelouch strives to change the way things work, to give people the right to be free. He gains the power of Geass, which is basically the power to make a person bend to your will. Definitely an amazing anime, and one of my personal favorites! Your mom would definitely love the anime for sure. ^^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
