I’m creating a list of movie and television programs where the characters go abroad as part of the storyline. You can access this growing list here: http://tinyurl.com/ql4h9g. I’m not specifically looking for international education experiences. International education experiences of characters in movies and television programs are of course desired but I’m looking more broadly at any character(s) that cross borders as a part of the storyline. If you know of any movies and/or television programs that should be added and have a free minute please visit http://tinyurl.com/ql4h9g to contribute to the growing list via the comment section. Be sure to check out the comments that have already been posted as several movies and television programs have already been listed.
Once it seems that the comments have slowed I will compile a more readable/accessible list and will summarize on IHEC Blog.
Thank you in advance.
