A Good Film to Show The Kids in 2020, Or Not ?

I see a lot.of people are coming to this movie in 2020, and at first I thought it was a kind of 'sick humour' thing, and I was questioning myself for wanting to re ACH it (after seeing it years ago)

But it is actually a very realistic (for a movie) and educational portrayal of what the world is experiencing now.

I don't have kids, but if I did I think I would show them this (at ages 10 up).

Yes it's good for educational purposes.
As for "sick humor," we need to be able to laugh in times like this, for the sake of our own sanity. Gallows humor is the best.

I just watched it and found it pretty disturbing. And I'm pretty much desensitized to gore and horror.
