Time magazine recently ran a story titled, "Can a Film Change the World?" In short, the answer was yes—message movies can make a difference, and can move people to action.

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth called attention to global warming—and emissions rules tightened in California. Super Size Me noted the health issues of fast food—and McDonald's changed its menu. Documentaries about AIDS and atrocities in Africa have caused many to stand up, be counted, and even take action.

What about you? Have you ever watched a film and been stirred to do something? To contact your congressman, write a check, take a missions trip, sign a petition, reach out to the homeless, feed the hungry—to get up off of your couch and make a difference.

We want to hear your stories. Not just about movies that made you cry or laugh. Not just about films that moved you emotionally or even spiritually. But about flicks that moved you physically, movies that made you act upon an issue.

Tell us your story in 750 words or less, and we'll print the best ones at CT Movies at a later date. Send your story—either as an attached Word file or in the body of an e-mail—to ctmovies(AT)christianitytoday.com with the subject line "Movies Changing the World."

Deadline: 9 a.m. (Central), April 28. We look forward to hearing your stories!
