Who has lived life with no difficulty? It’s impossible to imagine, and these films put the challenging aspects of life into sharp focus. Seven films that look at how assault or even religion can derail a life, how our identity may be questioned, how technology can amplify the problems of growing up. Formidable yes, and hard to fathom, these journeys arrest our attention and stir our hearts. These magnificent films will 100% reward you for opening your eyes to gain empathy and even help transform. – Chris Garcia
