I have a very very close friend who is Jehovah's Witness and because of her beliefs both her father and brother have died because they wouldn't accept blood transfusions. Are there any other films like this made in a Western cultural context?
LAST 3 FILMS: A Few Best Men (5/10) / Young Adult (7/10) / Sherlock Holmes 2 (9/10)
Sorry to hear about your friend, must have been tough.
Their are other movies that deal with similar storylines here are a few. None of these are about JW but similar in story and possible cultural issues that exist.
Morkets oy(1997) aka Island of Darkness from Denmark.
Die Fremde aka When we Leave(2010)
From Germany.
Even though the next one is a comedy, I would have to say it tackles the issue of conformity, in a different way.
The infidel (2010) from Britain
Hope you find these interesting.
Forgot to mention the movie UNO(2004) from Norway very good movie tackles the hard decision of not being part of a tribe as Nietsche put it, in regards to social groups.
