Today I found a great example of a zombie short film that contains a powerful central message. The name of the short film is Cargo and it is about this man who gets bitten by his wife and after they get into a car accident, he escapes with a baby girl. The man, afraid of turning into a zombie and wanting to attack his child, straps the baby onto his back, ties his arms, and attaches a bag full of guts in front of him to help distract him so he won't attack the child. As he seeks for a safe place to take his daughter, he gets shot and another group of survivors find the baby and take care of her. I believe this is a great short film to show due to the fact that the film itself does not use any dialogue but is still able to send a point across: A father is willing to do anything to ensure the safety of his child.
