My case study was the 1997 Steven Spielberg movie: Amistad. A period drama centered on the true story of a mutiny aboard a slave ship and the trial that followed. This film touches on the power of cultural interaction through globalization and its indelible effect on humanity. It demonstrates the negative aspects of globalization: empiricism and prejudice—bred by fear of difference, as well as the positive aspects: individual growth created by open-minded exposure to external ideas, beliefs, and culture. At the heart of this film is cultural hybridity, the slaves and the lawyers defending them each grow and learn from each other.
