Stories with an overt message--moral, social, or political--or stories that beat up one audience group or another, just don't make good sense. Your powerful message won't get through if presented overtly, because nobody likes to be preached to. So . .
Other than that, it should work out fine. People go to movies to enjoy themselves watching strong characters go out into the world and make things happen. A message is best sent woven into the fabric of the story, carried through strong characters who face the world bravely. Work it into the pattern and you've got a hit. Leave it sticking out like a sore thumb and you might as well leave it in your desk drawer.
