Hello all.
 
New poll. Please send me the three (no more than three) films you believe
are the most important films for equity, social justice, and/or
multicultural education. Please send me the full name of the film along with
whatever other information you know about it (studio, producer, year, etc.).
 
A few things to remember:
 
1. Even if somebody has already listed a film on your list, include it,
anyway. I'm trying to come up with the 15 or 20 top films based on the
number of times they appear on people's lists.
 
2. Again, I encourage you to suggest films that fall toward the social
reconstructionist end of the multicultural education continuum as opposed to
the fluffier stuff.
 
3. You can list any sort of film you like: documentaries, feature films.
 
4. You define "important." These could be films that have been influential
for you. They could be films that have worked particularly well in classes
you've taught or workshops you've led. 
 
To get us started, here is my list:
 
1. Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary
2. It's Elementary
3. Unequal Education
 
Again, I will compile these and make the lists available to everyone.
 
Best,
 
Paul
