A growing number of multimedia and technology resources are becoming available to help educators and trainers teach conflict resolution and to help students and training participants experience more directly and interactively the concepts and ideas that they are learning in ways that are often not possible or cost prohibitive using traditional methods. Please note that there is a massive number of individual films relating to peace and conflict that are not listed here; additional suggestions and lists are welcome in the comments section, and may be incorporated into future versions of this guide.
