###BOLD#TEXT[Praise for the book]###
###ITALIC#TEXT[“By examining cinema from a cultural perspective, this book changes (and often challenges) the way we view contemporary narrative. It makes us re-think the stories we’ve seen before and deepens our understanding of the ways in which they reflect our culture. It’s also an amazing journey through cinematic history, written with a profound love and depth of understanding.”]###
Deborah Chow, Director and Executive Producer of the TV miniseries ###ITALIC#TEXT[Obi-Wan Kenobi]###; Director of episodes of the TV series ###ITALIC#TEXT[The Mandalorian]###

###ITALIC#TEXT[“This book could not be more important! As our world grows increasingly interconnected, we find ourselves immersed in the richness of an immense variety of countless cultures. Nevertheless, we struggle to even sit in the same room as those who are different, let alone engage in curious and civil discussions. This book, therefore, is a gift. Through the magic of narrative and the universality of film in the theater or the living room, the authors remind the audience that art helps us to celebrate our similarities and to marvel at everything that makes us unique.”]###

###ITALIC#TEXT[“What an extraordinary and outstanding treasure! If you love movies and miniseries and would like to increase your understanding of multiculturalism via those, you will be open to the magic in this book. I appreciated being reminded how multicultural themes in films can be enlightening and promote personal growth. Questions designed by the wisdom, expertise, and knowledge of three outstanding scholars/authors encourage critical thinking and inspired me to view some of the films again – and to discover new ones!”]###
