Media assignment: Blitzing for ideas

I definitely want to do a digital movie, hopefully with some bells 'n whistles. I'm not sure topic-wise what I will do, but I know it will have to do with either my unit on the hero or the lessons I will teach in 488, which should be centered on Paton's Cry, The Beloved Country and the ideas and questions on the differences and similarities between cultures, and how they are reflected in the norms, traditions, rituals, and ethics of various cultures. Either way, I plan on using this particular media form as a vehicle to generate ideas, questions, and projected generalizations that can open the floor for discussions, and most importantly, to serve as a hook for students prior to delving into the text.
