Help me help inmates become better men by watching better movies

Hey guys.

Recently, I was contacted by an author who now works in a prison in the US. He is concerned with the types of movies the inmates are watching. These 30-something men of generally African American descent are often not very balanced. They are too aggressive and afraid of their inner feminine. This author wants to enlist my help in finding better movies for them, because they are currently watching the kind of crap that only strengthens their aggressive and fearful disposition.

What movies would serve these men in finding inner peace and compassion for one another?

This is your opportunity to make a difference in the lives of men on the shadow side of existence. Thanks for your contribution.
