For the race discrimination film, you might check California Newsreel’s catalog. They have several short Jane Elliott “blue eye/brown eye” films. Or something from the Unnatural Causes series might work -most of these episodes are under 30 min. These should be available to license for streaming.

I tried contacting ABC without success. Each of these two shorts was less than 20 minutes in length and the instructor wants shorts, not full length. True Colors follows two men, equal in all measurable aspects except skin color, as they are involved in a variety of situations to test levels of prejudice based on skin color. Attempts to heighten awareness of prejudices and practices affecting the social and economic quality of life for Afro-Americans in the framework of a nation aspiring to equal proction under the law. The Fairer Sex – topic = sex discrimination Many thanks, Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator University of Connecticut Libraries 369 Fairfield Road, Unit 2005RR Storrs, CT 06269-2005 jo_ann.reyno...@uconn.edu<mailto:jo_ann.reyno...@uconn.edu> 860-486-1406 860-486-5636 (fax) http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/mediaresources
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.
