Lagaan
3 hr 40 min (this is not a typing error!)

Set in the latter half of the nineteenth century “Lagaan” is a film about the adversities and injustice perpetrated by the British upon the innocent peasants who face these extraordinary circumstances with fortitude and dignity.  Faith and courage comes face to face with arrogance and ruthlessness and what follows is spectacular climax of showdown between Indians and Britons.

Journey from the Fall (2006)
2 hr 15 min

The story of a Vietnamese family following the fall of Saigon. The plot is a trilogy of stories. The husband goes to a re-education (concentration) camp while the wife, son and husband's mother escape to the United States. A story of hope being maintained among some very dark days. This film is at times difficult to watch but is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.
