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. With the aspirations and diverse ways of life for gay and alternative households changing so quickly, is society adapting fast enough to keep up with them? www.landmarkmedia.com/thisisfamily Peter Peter Hartogs Vice President, Business Development *Landmark Media * 3450 Slade Run Drive Falls Church, VA 22042 [email protected] www.landmarkmedia.com 703-241-2030 1-800-342-4336 703-536-9540 (fax) *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *John Hoskyns-Abrahall *Sent:* Wednesday, March 23, 2011 12:07 PM *To:* '[email protected]' *Subject:* Re: [Videolib] looking for films about diversity/inclusion BUT Hi, Maureen We have a great new one called THE NEW NEIGHBORS. It's a half hour film about saving a "first suburb" by making racial integration the centerpiece of Pennsauken, NJ's revitalization. It's one of two films on the same disc called THE NEW METROPOLIS. www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/nm.html.

I’m open to documentaries or fiction films—this is for a mediagraphy I need to put together for our diversity and inclusion week. If possible, I’d like to list films that show what successful inclusion looks like! Help, listmates!

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.
