What would a humanitarian movie be?

Question

I'm supposed to write this report, part of which is stuff on humanitarian movies, and I've never even seen the term before. I know what humanitarianism is, but how could a movie be humanitarian... would it be like Bowling for Columbine or something?

Answer 1

high school musical

Answer 2

Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty both have strong humanitarian themes throughout them. Really any movie which seems to push the ideas of helping your fellow man and whatnot, be it blatantly or subtly, through the main character or through the plot as a whole.
