Videos

Video.E185.625.B531995. Black Is--Black Ain't: A Personal Journey Through Black Identity. American culture has stereotyped black Americans for centuries.

Here is a cross-section of African Americans grappling with the paradox of numerous, often contradictory definitions of blackness.

Video.E185.61.E841987. Ethnic Notions, Black People in White Minds. This covers more than one hundred years of United States history and traces the evolution of Black American caricatures and their role in political and social conflicts concerning race.

Video.KF390.5C6I581995. The Internet: Cyber Hate and Freedom of Speech. Cyberspace is the new wild frontier. The Internet, though unregulated, may be the last bastion in free speech and open debate; but it has also proven to be a powerful pulpit for hat-filled propaganda. This documentary compares case studies of how two countries, the United States and Canada, are coping with this issue in different ways.

Video.E185.625Q471992. A Question of Color: Color Consciousness in Black America. This examines the issue of color consciousness within the black community and explores a caste system based on how closely skin color, hair texture and facial features conform to a European ideal.

Video.E185.615S431988. The Second American Revolution: Walk Through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers. Bill Moyers, Ruby Dee, and Ossie Davis examine the search of Blacks for racial equality in twentieth-century America.

This explores ten critical areas of the women's health movement, from the concept of self-help to the issue of informed surgical consent. There is a growing movement of women wanting to regain control of their bodies. The film documents self-help, birth at home, abortion, high school women's support group, breast cancer, drug company attitudes, and more.
