			*Based on a true story, a white teacher takes a job at an underperforming school and encourages her BIPOC students to journal about the hardships holding them back. The film focuses on the work of the teacher, and ignores the challenges faced and agency of the students themselves. The film depicts a single white woman who “saves” an entire classroom of students.

			*Some people choose international adoption because they seek to “save” children from a life of poverty, crime or in some cases their culture.
			*In reality, some children put up for adoption are stolen or purchased from families to fuel the ongoing adoption trade (i.e. see [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54892564 this example] from Kenya).

			*This phenomena defines a trip that combines volunteering with tourism. The emphasis is often on what the volunteer gains from the experience, plus the lasting benefit to the community they aid.
			*Volunteers often attempt to support communities without knowledge of what those communities actually want or need.
			*The quick aid and exit when working with children can have negative implications for children who’ve already experienced grief and loss.
