Confronting Discrimination and Prejudice (DVD)

Encourage your students to explore biases and stereotypes with this collection of ABC News segments. Each scenario puts actors into exchanges with unwitting bystanders, generating a wide range of responses - from overt hostility toward other races and cultures to acts of genuine compassion.
Scenes include:

a bakery clerk's refusal to serve a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf
cruelty toward an overweight woman seated on a boardwalk
a very public argument that threatens to become violent
a purse-snatching in a crowded square, after which witnesses are asked to view a suspect lineup

Repeating the two latter situations, producers achieve varying reactions among onlookers by switching the races of the actors. 37 minutes. English-language subtitled. 2008.
