How many stages of genocide were identified in the film’s discussion?

• A. Three
• B. Five
• C. Seven
• D. Nine

Answer: (B)

Genocide is shown as a progression, a sequence of stages that help viewers see how prejudice can escalate into coordinated violence. In that film, five stages are used as a simplified framework to highlight the key turning points and to make the progression easier to grasp and remember. This five-stage framing is a streamlined version of the more detailed academic models, which often describe more steps, but the film purposefully condenses them to five to emphasize the main shifts and where intervention can interrupt the process. Three stages would be too simplistic to capture the escalation, while seven or nine would imply a different structure than what the film presents.
