Det er ikke kun ren underholdning, man kan få ved at gå i biografen. I mange film – eksempelvis historiske – er der ofte store ting at lære undervejs i biografmørket. Det var i høj grad tilfældet, da 3.c var i biffen for at se Stephen Frears “Victoria & Abdul”, som handler om det britiske imperium og dronningens hof.

Eleverne kunne således få en skildring af en historisk tid og få et indblik i den kultur og det samfund, der herskede dengang. Og det passede rigtig godt ind i det tema, de har haft om Indien. Som underviser Ian Wilson forklarer:

After the theme India: the emergence of an nation, 3.c were given the opportunity to watch and study the film Victoria & Abdul. The film deals with the conspicuous relationship between Queen Victoria and her servant Abdul. The British establishment struggle to come to terms with an Indian servant – and a Muslim one at that – being able to ‘rule’ the Empress of India.  The film highlights the conflicting roles between the British Empire and India. Who governs who? India was once known as the jewel of the British Empire and as the studied theme argues today it is arguably India who shines the brightest as the sun now finally sets on the British Empire.
