The use of films in the classroom is not new, as they promote critical thinking and reflection (Prats, Lluis. 2005. "Cine para Educar." Barcelona: Belacqua). However, their role in promoting inclusive values with young learners remains relatively unexplored. Films have been considered a powerful pedagogical tool that helps students be in…
