Show Me Democracy
A moving, emotional snapshot of policy and protest in Ferguson, MO. Very timely and useful for inviting dialogue and inciting action. It would be appropriate for U.S. history, government, and political science classes.
Teach Us All
A powerful overview suitable for education and library science studies and as a discussion starter for public libraries.
Democracy in America
The detailed series is great for a quick overview of a particular subject, with graphic maps, primary source images, stimulating quotes, and effective visual techniques to make the images come alive. Useful for AP U.S. history, these resources can lead to lively class discussions.
Visions of New York City
Great video for an aerial overview of New York City, but more appropriate as a background to an actual tour.
A Bold Peace
A well-made and thought-provoking documentary. A strong choice for high school discussion groups.
Divided States of America
A thorough analysis of the Obama presidency for political science students. Suitable for more advanced audiences as well.
Incarcerating US
This is a raw, emotionally charged film about how the prison system has failed society. A valuable resource for criminal justice or government classes.
One of Us
An enthralling plot for listeners who like spy novels. ["Recommend this one to teen readers who have tired of dystopias and are looking for something new and different": SLJ 10/15 starred review of the Running Press Teen book.]

This work's emphasis on survival and rescue will appeal to both adult and teen listeners.
