A
Southern Town: 40 Years in Jackson, Mississippi
|
In this program, black and white civil rights
activists from Jackson, Mississippi, reunite at Tougaloo Chapel to discuss
the changes in race relations brought about over four decades. Archival
footage sets the scene as the Reverend Ed King, SNCC’s Bob Moses, and
others share, for the first time on film, exclusive personal accounts of
the bloody Woolworth sit-in, the murder of Medgar Evers, the Freedom
Summer Project, the revocation of TV station WLBT’s broadcasting
license, and other pivotal events. They lived the struggle in the ’60s,
and it lives in them today. A powerful addition to any library of civil
rights materials. A Discovery Channel Production. (46 minutes, color)

| How Biased Are You? |
This program unflinchingly explores the history and practice of
racism through its extreme manifestations—slavery, the Holocaust,
segregation, bias crimes, racial profiling—and its more subtle
demonstrations, such as the pernicious subconscious biases that can
exert an influence on everyday behavior. Hidden-camera footage, a
demonstration of the provocative Greenwald/Banaji bias-sensitivity test,
and interviews with victims of racism, advocates for equality, and
others make this an especially important program. A Discovery Channel
Production. (47 minutes, color)

| Islam
in America |
Nabil drives a cab in New York City while Tarek is a stockbroker in
Los Angeles. Usla is a junior partner in a Chicago law firm and Adel
runs a gas station in Venus, Texas. For these and approximately seven
million other Muslims in this country, the terrorist attacks of
September 11th brought painful challenges to their notions of identity.
From a sample group that spans recent immigrants to third-generation
citizens, this program presents a series of portraits depicting Islamic
lifestyles in a post-9/11 America. Candid interviews bring home the
difficulties faced by Muslims in America, as well as the new
perspectives they have achieved. A Discovery Channel Production. (48
minutes, color) (C)2003

| Understanding
Race |
Race: no gene has substantiated it and no
scientist has quantified it, yet it continues to polarize the world’s
populations like no other concept. This compelling program examines the
history and power of the artificial distinction called "race,"
viewing it within historical, scientific, and cultural contexts. Topics
include the anthropological unity of Homo sapiens; sanctioned
discrimination, such as segregation; cultural biases based on racial
stereotypes; and the underlying humanity that inextricably links us all. A

| Warnings From a Small Town |
There’s something new about hatred and
racism—its approach. This program exposes the new face of hate through
detailed case studies that show how neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups
have targeted America’s youth via mass media, particularly the Internet,
so readily available in schools and homes. The grim example of Lancaster,
California, demonstrates how "edge" communities—small towns
outside of cities—can become recruiting grounds for gangs such as the
Nazi Low Riders and the scenes of brutal crimes. Interviews with convicted
NLR members at Pelican Bay prison drive home another outcome of hate
crime. A Discovery Channel Production. (50 minutes, color) (C)2001 |
