1. "House of Cards" (2013-x). It's good entertainment AND a taste of global politics, especially in the third season.
2. "Tracy Chapman" (1988) by Tracy Chapman. Great album.
3. "Perfect Sponge Cake" (2013) by Ann Reardon.
4. "Fresh Meat" (2011-x). Good series, if you're into British humor.
5. "A Passage to India" (1924) by E. M. Forster. It's about racism and sexism in colonial India. Pretty cool, especially if you liked "To Kill a Mockingbird" and other similar novels.
6. "12 Angry Men" (1957) by Sydney Lumet. It's originally a play, and it's good for looking at biases and the way arguments can be constructed and reconstructed.
7. "Evita" (1996) by Alan Parker. It was originally a Broaday musical, and this is the feauture film with Madonna as Eva Perón. It shows the outside/American view of Argentina in the 20th century. They saw her as more of a celebrity and a tragic figure than a political/elite actor.
8. "Eva Perón" (1996) by Juan Carlos Desanzo. This is the response by the Argentinean government to the musical. It shows Eva Perón as more of a political actor who dealt with the unfairness that women were simply not taken seriously.
