I liked all of these films for different reasons, and perhaps the one that made me the most cheerful was A Land Called Paradise, because it targeted common prejudices in such an upbeat way. The Baha'i faith teaches that overcoming prejudices of nation, religion, gender and class is absolutely essential if we are to ever have peace on earth, and the founder of the Baha'i faith, Baha'u'llah, says we can easily overcome prejudice if we see the human race as one family, where everyone has a right to be here as a creation of one God. Even children who don't like broccoli!
