Big Dream
The messages here are "You can do it" and "Believe in your dream." The first 30 minutes provide an inspiring overview and could be used alone.
Enter the Faun
An uplifting, dance-themed story, with some sensual dance portions. Best for adults and mature high school and college students.
The Brain with David Eagleman
Eagleman's delivery style sometimes expands 30 minutes of solid information into a 60-minute segment. New discoveries and research (about mirror neurons or brain tumors, for example) will likely mean material is quickly outdated, giving this a short shelf life for educational use.
Nightfall
An additional selection for large collections. ["A mildly satisfying, stand-alone read for middle school horror lovers": SLJ 8/15 review of the Putnam book.]
Top Spin
Through excellent productions values, this film points out how far natural talent, excellent coaching, and intense dedication to practice can take a young athlete while not ignoring the painful reality of defeat.
Rebel of the Sands
A readable, middle-of-the-pack "teens save the world" story. Consider for large collections.
This Little Light of Mine: The Legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer
An informative film on a less well-known figure in the civil rights movement. However, this program may not fit all budgets.
