PurposeGeography is an exciting discipline involving the interrogation of place, space, and mobility. Film is too powerful and assessable tool that engages audiences. Therefore, this article builds a rationale for utilizing film in the teaching of geography. Particularly geographic mobility, which is the study of spatial patterns of movement and viewing them with positive or negative social meaning and as embedded within structures of power.Design/methodology/approachThis is not a research paper so there is no methodology to detail.FindingsThis is not a research paper so there are no findings to detail.Originality/valueThe article introduces three films (Selma, Hidden Figures, and The Green Book) and describes how they can be used to enrich the teaching of geographic mobility.

Abstract
We develop a model of migration in the face of geographic information asymmetries. Firms from a given city observe whether or not a local worker is a member of a disadvantaged local community, a negative indicator of productivity, but do not have this information for migrants to this city. With this knowledge, workers must decide whether to migrate and obscure information about their community of origin. Our model generates results consistent with recent trends in intergenerational mobility and internal migration as well as new predictions about the relationship between migrant outcomes and income segregation. We confirm these predictions using data from the U.S. census.

Microeconomic models of migration are extended beyond the emphasis of past studies, in which migration was generally regarded as simply a mechanism for upward social mobility. Specifically, the aim is to assess whether inter-labor-market migration also contributes to changes in subjective aspects of well-being, such as reported satisfaction with work & life in general. Data from the 1973-1977 Quality of Employment Survey Panel (Instit for Social Research, U of Michigan) point to a single persistent conclusion: enhanced job & life satisfaction cannot be demonstrated to be a function of geographic mobility. 2 Tables, 35 References.
