Hello, Sabra, Bullfrog Films offers two titles you may want to consider. If your library owns the VHS video of "Affluenza," you may want to upgrade to the DVD. 1. AFFLUENZA DVD http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/affl.html AFFLUENZA is a groundbreaking film that diagnoses a serious social disease - caused by consumerism, commercialism and rampant materialism - that is having a devastating impact on our families, communities, and the environment. We have more stuff, but less time, and our quality of life seems to be deteriorating. By using personal stories, expert commentary, hilarious old film clips, and "uncommercial" breaks to illuminate the nature and extent of the disease, AFFLUENZA has appealed to widely diverse audiences: from freshmen orientation programs to consumer credit counseling, and from religious congregations to marketing classes.
2. kids + money DVD http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/kids.html Money talks. Teens in Los Angeles discuss money: getting it, spending it and learning to live without it. Additionally, for a deep and wide list of titles on economics, check out this subject area: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/subjects/economics.html Call me if you have any questions. Thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
