The white saviour trope, in which a white protagonist demonstrates their virtue by protecting or otherwise assisting a person of colour, is a pervasive narrative in American cinema – but also one that, despite its feel-good trappings, only serves to reinforce racial stereotypes and existing societal power structures. Using examples from John Lee Hancock's film and a range of other screen texts, Luke Rodesiler and Kathy Garland offer a guide on how to critically address this topic in classrooms.
