RE: Need Advice/Assistance for Course in "Discourse &Power"

Hi!

Given your themes, you might check out the documentary *The Life and Times
of Harvey Milk.*  And I suppose *American History X* immediately comes to
mind, too.  My students often mention that film as having had an impact on
them.

Subject: [cultstud-l] Need Advice/Assistance for Course in "Discourse
&Power"

Colleagues,

Please forward any suggestions, syllabus, or ideas for films for a new  
undergraduate course I will be teaching "Discourse, Power & Social
Identity." 

In the class, we will be examining issues of free speech Vs hate  speech. 
Some of the texts I will be using are "Understanding Words  that Wound" &
the 
"Discourse Reader" w/ supplemental readings from critical  theorists and 
linguistics. I would really appreciated any ideas for films. 

Thanks for your time and assistance it will be very much appreciated.
