Here is a film with no dialogue. It should be easy to talk about this film in class.
Suggested themes: Education. Children growing up. How should educators teach children right from wrong?

We watched a movie based on a Canadian short story last week. Students are writing their comments about their experience and we look forward to their posts soon. For some background of the movie, you can see the Snow Walker - Quipster's review

The author Farley Mowat is credited with many things, both literary and otherwise. He is a conservationist and patron of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Mowat has a real (once outlawed) pirate ship named after him. The RV Farley Mowat sails the oceans doing the dangerous job of trying to stop ships from whale hunting.
 
The Sea Shepherd News site lists the dangerous adventures related to this ship and the rest of the conservation work done by the society. Here is an exciting detailed report of a chase "on the High Seas" Cowardly Pirate Whalers Flee
In another report about the Farley Mowat ship (dated June 1st, 2007) the Captain Paul Watson writes:

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society flagship, Farley Mowat, is now officially a pirate vessel. We are at sea without a flag, in search of illegal whaling operations in hostile and remote waters at the bottom of the world.
