Title
Teaching World Regional Geography Through Films.

Abstract
Films are potentially very effective ways of teaching world regional geography. Unfortunately, few feature 
films are geographically complex enough to be useful, but when they are, they provide the next best thing 
to travel and an innovative way to teach active and critical learning of geography. A world regional geography 
course using seven films is described, and detailed information is provided on the films: five geographical 
themes and relevant concepts for all of the films; and for each of the seven films, student-drawn map titles, 
student-located thematic map titles, and major geographical themes.

Key words: geographical teaching, films, world regions, active and critical learning
