520 |a In this paper, I analyse two different feature films used by four religious education teachers when they taught a unit of work on Buddhism. I engage elements of postcolonial theory to make visible racialised and gendered elements of each of the films that may not be immediately apparent to the viewer. I describe the different approaches each of the teachers took up when they utilised the films during the unit, and then highlighted how the two films assisted the teachers to teach white, middle class, heterosexual and gendered Christian subjectivities whilst simultaneously not explicitly teaching Christianity. The paper concludes by suggesting that a Critically Engaging Creative Arts approach might assist teachers to better engage with popular film in the future.
