Hi, Marit. I haven't seen it, so take this with a grain of salt or two, but a good friend of mine, who is also very smart and a good sociologist, has used "One Day in September" before with strong results. It's a documentary, but not a boring one, about the 1972 Olympics when Palestinian "terrorists" kidnapped and killed a bunch of Israeli athletes. Turns out, the West German police were more than just a little incompetent, and they were also notably indifferent to the plight of the Israeli captives/victims. Thus, it covers all sorts of issues of anti-Semitism along with issues of Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Here's a link to Tower's description of it: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=3336499.
Enjoy! A.
