Knowing that geography in the course of his career as a science and made several changes along its route broke paradigms and reformulated its traditional character for Renewed. Bypassing these difficulties in that geography was ruled as a descriptive discipline and memorization, in which the notion of geographical knowledge was passed on to students in a piecemeal fashion, where only the educator was known holder students and simple receivers of information, we will bring in analysis in this study the documentary Island of flowers, as a methodological approach to be used in the classroom, making a match between the same and geography teaching, and still developing issues revolving makes the society in which we live, society is in overall disparity. Thus we see in the cinema a language full of elements that reproduce social discourse station, for a given time, is not a reality in itself, but brings with elements that diffuse a geographic imaginary.
