Third World Cinema
"This course changed my perspective of the art form of cinema itself. However, examining the cinema of 3rd world nations gave me a deeper, historical perspective of the nation's culture as well as its history." "If you are not a cinema lover before taking this course, you will be by the end of it."- Kelly Spence

"Excellent class, for me it was a awakening experience as to how art is seen and developed from another perspective".-Damaris Perez
"This class was not just about watching films; it exposed me to art, history, and politics from many other cultures. It was a definitely a memorable class."-Tiffany Rey
"This class used films to expose students to history and current events of foreign countries. I cannot think of a better way to teach students about these issues."-Michelle Cavalaris
"Never knew how much one person can learn by examining foreign films more in depth; and many of the films were very eye-opening. Now, discovering great films and analyzing them to a greater extent is second nature."- Katie Lobuzova
"To me this class meant more to me than most people will know. It was my escape from the normal college life full of stress and work. It was a subject out side my course of study that gave me an insight of what has happen and is still happening in the world."- Michael Delamo
"This experience truly opened up my eyes to the possibilities and wonders of film media from all over the world"-Scott Aaron

"I love teaching this course because after a very few months, students are no longer looking at their world, or the wider world in the same way. Quite often I leave class downright delighted by the quality of discussions. Not only that. Each year I ask the students to find a way to bring these films to the wider Miami community in a project called “seeding.” And each year the kids mumble and grumble and end up doing far more than I asked of them or in some cases even imagined. I thank each member of the 2014-2015 class for making this year such a rich one."- Elizabeth Hanly
