For the newest installment in our…From Around the World series, we delve into movies recommended by our hosted students from 90+ countries. Film reveals a lot about a specific culture, such as its sense of humor and values. As many of us are staying at home to maintain social distancing during COVID-19, this is the perfect time to explore some movies that are popular across the globe. Even better: use Netflix Party or a similar app and chat as you’re watching with friends!
