"Movies and television shows can profoundly impact our lives. They're windows into alternate realities — ones that terrify us, delight us, break our hearts, and motivate us. The very best shows go beyond that, acting as catalysts for social change, shifting public perspectives, and showcasing resilience. We watch fearfully as our heroes fall, and then we swell with pride when they inevitably pick themselves back up. The 'never give up' attitude of a hero exemplifies a resilience we may already have, or one we hope to achieve. Resilience and adaptability have been key recently, as we've gone through a time of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval. If you need some inspiration — or simply a distraction to get your mind off of everything — we've curated a list of movies and shows about resilience in relationships, racism, mental illness, and everything in between. Here are our top 25 picks." - everydayhealth.com
