Race the Power of Illusion (DVD 3 part series – 56 min.s each – Facilitator’s
Guide)
This documentary challenges one of our most fundamental beliefs; that
humans come divided into a few distinct biological groups. This definitive
three-part series is an eye-opening tale of how what we assume to be normal,
commonsense, even scientific, is actually shaped by our history, social
institutions and cultural beliefs.
Episode 1: The Difference Between Us. Examines the contemporary science;
including genetics that challenges our assumptions about human groups
Episode 2: The Story We Tell. Explores the roots of the race concept,
including the 19th century science that justified it and how it gained
such a hold over our minds.
Episode 3: The House We Live In. Race may be a biological
myth, but racism gives different groups vastly different life chances.
Forty
years
after the Civil Rights Movement, the playing field is still not
level and “colorblind” policies only perpetuate inequality.
What’s Race Got To Do With It? (DVD – 49 min.s – Facilitator’s
Guide)
Chronicles the experiences of a new generation of college students,
over the course of 16 weeks of intergroup dialogue at the U.C.
Berkeley campus. As they confront themselves and each other about
race, they discover
they often lack awareness of how different their experience of
campus life is from their peers, to the detriment of an inclusive
campus climate.
This video is geared toward strengthening young people’s commitment
to a racially equitable campus, where everyone can succeed.
