***Disclaimer***:
This week’s list includes several films that some may find disturbing. 42 is rated PG-13. It is the story of Jackie Robinson’s journey to become the first African
American to play major league baseball in the 20th century. The film’s realism includes profanity and racial slurs. Dead Poets Society is rated PG, but it
depicts a suicide and would likely receive a PG-13 rating today. The Hunger Games is rated PG-13 and contains scenes of graphic violence. The Shawshank
Redemption is rated R and contains a significant amount of profanity, prison violence, and some other disturbing scenes. Please use discretion if you choose
to view any of these films.
