Use the family depicted in the movie you select as the basis for completing the assignment.  You may find these movies on Amazon or NetFlix, or other movie sites.  

Describe the family, either a family to interview or a family in one of the above movies, to do your family cultural assessment. Using the two assessment forms below, describe the family using the rubric as your guide including environment, background history, family developmental stage and tasks, family structure and function of family, and healthcare beliefs and practices as outlined in the rubric.  If you choose a movie, the family or families in the movie provide you with a family in which to do your assessment on. This is not a biography or a review of the movie and points will be lost if the paper represents this.
