If you are looking for diversity, Landmark Media has released a wonderful documentary that profiles the gay and transgender households in America today. *THIS IS FAMILY* shows several different scenarios and cultures and how alternative lifestyles have lead to acceptable and happy lives. There is an elementary, high school and university version of this production.

Re: [Videolib] looking for films about diversity/inclusion BUT
Hi Maureen Howz bout Not in Our Town http://www.theworkinggroup.org/orderatape.html Documentary about the people of Billings, Montana who joined together to stand up for Native American, Afro-American and Jewish neighbors who were under attack by white supremacists. In response to a series of hate crimes, the community moved into action. Across the river www.films.com Documentary featuring a series of portraits of urban heroes who are working to revive a dying neighborhood in Washington, D.C. These six different inner city development projects include a group of former drug users and criminals who are reaching out to juvenile offenders and fathers in prison, two school programs which use mentors and extensive job internships to achieve a high graduation rate, a public housing project which is rehabilitating its tenants, a successful effort to attract the middle class back to an inner city area and an economic program, which has led to the opening of new businesses, creating new jobs. Democratic promise: Saul Alinsky and his legacy Video Project Legendary organizer Saul Alinsky led the movement to empower disenfranchised communities through collective action. His life influenced the struggles for civil rights, the farm workers movement and redefined the very nature of political protest. This film examines Alinsky's life and influence through work being done by two contemporary people's organizations. Green Dreams. Video Project Describes activities of the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners (SLUG) as they organize and supervise gardening projects in troubled urban neighborhoods. Film documents how these gardening projects are offering real job skills and a sense of accomplishment to low-income youth, ex-convicts and people recovering from drugs. Looks at a variety of gardening projects including the Alemany housing project where a former trash-filled back lot is transformed into a small farm providing organic vegetables for residents and Hunter's Point where teens turn their lives around in an after school gardening program.

Maureen, Check out This is Family: What constitutes a family? How is the typical American family defined? How has the notion of gay families evolved over the past decades? Is there such a thing as a typical gay family? This fascinating and sometimes shocking documentary profiles the diversity of gay and transgender households in America today.
