| Letter from God to Man | Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip | This provides a theodicy for pupils studying the problem of evil; it presents the response of God to charges that he has either abandoned his creation or allowed it - especially humans - to experience needless suffering. | 3m:49s | |
| Where Is The Love? | The Blackeyed Peas | Good to use with images of different types of suffering. This is about the state of post 9/11 world, which all but calls for US withdrawal from Iraq.
