Some Ideas About Movie Discussions from Jennifer Valley (City of Lakes AmeriCorps):

• Have a prepared list of discussion questions about the film or theme
• topic, then small groups report back to the whole group about some of the things that came out in their discussion)
• Let members know if a film/discussion is controversial and give them the choice not to respond to some of the questions
• Preface the movie with "why we're watching this" - let members know what to look for, how the theme relates to the group
• It might also help to break your members up into pre-arranged discussion groups. It may be helpful to have people with different views integrated into each group.
• It may be necessary to establish a safe environment. Discuss norms or expectations for the discussion, confidentiality, everyone's right to their own opinion, the importance of having an open mind, etc.
