The Storekeeper - Short Film Lesson (Upper-Int/Advanced)

This is a pretty shocking short film by the director Gavin Hood (best known for the award winning film Tsotsi). It tells the story of a South African shopkeeper who, after a series of break-ins, decides to take the law into his own hands ...with tragic consequences. So be warned - this lesson isn't for the faint-hearted, and is not suitable for younger learners.

The interesting thing about this film is that it has no dialogue, so it can be used in a number of ways - the most important thing is to get your students talking!
