Poll Suggestion: Low Budget True Life Film Dramas About Serious Human Matters
Everybody knows about the big empathic blockbusters like 'Schindlers List' or 'A Beautiful Mind'. But what about the little movies which are also humanitarian in some way?
When you look below, what would be the movie you would pick as an important movie of human matters? If there is more than one movie, pick the one that moved you the most.
(Just non-mainstream-movies with a rating of 7/10 or higher with a story based on real events. Budget below 20 million US$.)

with the german title ('Aus dem Nichts'). On this page with the picture of
'In The Fade', there is a director named Angela Summereder stated. But
the movie 'In The Fade' with Diane Kruger is directed by Fatih Akin. Can
anyone check if that is correct? I don't understand why this is and gather
there happened a mistake.

I recommend a shorter title. Please consider changing:
Worthy Low Budget Movie Drama Based on True Events Which Made You Cry.
To:
Low Budget Tearjerkers Film Dramas Based on True Events
or
Low Budget Tearjerker True Life Film Dramas

I've done some major improvements to make this P.S. more klickable.
There are intentional no names mentioned in the #s to make the question
neutral about catchphrases and clicheés. Mentioning a name could
cause a *click* in the head. I try to avoid that for people who haven't seen
any of these movies on the list. I want them to orientate themselfs on the
contents of the movie's micro-synopsis I wrote to the #s.

Also, “guarding” is probably better than “treating”.
The story of a prison officer in a Danish war camp, guarding a group of young POWs

I second Rabbit Proof Fence - frickin' heartbreaking.
Notes:
#4 - German should be capped
#5 - wording should be revised - no need to say circumcision twice. I thinking maybe something like 'The story of an African refugee who grew up to become a world-famous model, and used her fame to fight the scourge of female circumcision.'
#7 - suggest 'The story of a team of Tibetan volunteers, working to protect rare mountain antelopes from poachers.'
#8 - suggest 'The story of two teenage girls being abused and held captive by a mentally ill woman.'
#9 - suggest 'They story of a German woman who, after her husband and son are killed by neo-Nazis, tries to fight for justice.'
#11 - Christy Brown is as well know for his poetry as he is for his art. I suggest adding it - 'The story of a disabled writer and painter...'
#12 - Danish should be capitalized
#13 - suggest 'The story of a transgender man simply trying to live his life in a hostile environment."
#15 - suggest 'The story of a young, black father, tragically murdered because of racism.'
#16 - suggest 'The story of an old man riding a lawnmower nearly 300 miles to make up with his ailing brother.'
#18 - suggest 'The story of a quadriplegic who writes a book through communication using just his eyelid.'
#23 - suggest 'The story of an Irishman in England, wrongly imprisoned with his ailing father for decades for crimes they didn't commit.'
#25 - suggest 'The story of three half-caste Aboriginal girls who, using the fence which separates most of Western Australia from the rest of the country, walked 1,500 miles to return to their home, from which they had been abducted.'
