Resistance to change and discrimination

discuss/analyse how Remember the Titans and Pleasantville explore resistance to change and discrimination (THINK ABOUT: how are viewers positioned? how are these ideas presented?)

Body paragraph 1 – resistance to change – RTT: team’s response to a new coach and African American teammates versus Pleasantville: reaction to changes and colour within the town

Body paragraph 2 – discrimination – RTT: racism (of town, coaches, players and students towards Boone, Julius, Petey, Blue, Rev and African American students) versus Pleasantville: separation of “colored” folk from black and white citizens
