Avalanches
The images are gripping, and the scientists explain the phenomena clearly. But in a classroom setting, be certain students can keep up with the subtitles, and beware some geographical errors.
Safe Harbor
Perhaps of interest to schools on Cape Cod or in other Massachusetts towns on the coast to examine what happens in their own backyard, but not recommended for general purchase.
The Illusionists
This documentary on how advertising psychologically manipulates people does not shed any new light on the subject.
The Nine Signs of Internet Addiction
A useful tool to start discussions in a guidance counselor's office, but the cost may be prohibitive for many libraries.
Celling Your Soul
This film covers all the usual points about how technology and social media can adversely impact people's lives, and the students are appealingly genuine. A suitable additional purchase for a media studies or psychology class.
In Pursuit of Silence
This would be a good film for a science class studying the environment, noise pollution, or human biology.
The Penguin Counters
The film approaches climate change and environmentalism from a unique, and rather adorable, angle. It should be well received in science and environmental classes.
Nothing on Earth
Art and perhaps even high school philosophy classes will get more out of this film than science and environmental studies courses would.
Death by Design
A useful film for environmental science and business classes where students are studying companies' global impact.
