Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the theoretical and methodological contributions of the use of films as a strategy in Physical Education classes. In this view, the research was characterized as qualitative with a documentary nature, in which twelve films were analyzed. After the analyses, themes such as racism, gender, education, and religiosity were identified and used to subsidize the current discussions. In this sense, we emphasize the importance of using films as a teaching strategy during Physical Education classes as they bring about cross-cutting themes which are inherent to the reality of students; thus, enabling teachers to problematize them.
