What did you see in terms of encountering conflict in this film? What moments of encounters with conflict do you remember most?

Hi and welcome - please feel free to discuss anything of concern to teaching VCE students if you have the time. My main goal here though is to gather resources of use to us. As we are covering encountering conflict for context that is where I have started - but you are welcome to ad material for the other contexts.
