Movies and TvShows featuring "ethnic-studies" theme.

People from different ethnic backgrounds with "difficult" names by Western standards share their experience with moving through the world with an identity that challenges others to simply just say their name. A short social docu-film by Mariam Meliksetyan, “Say My Name” is a meditation on identity, otherness, assimilation, community, and ancestral roots.

Precious Knowledge is a documentary that follows the experiences of Mexican-American high school students in Tucson, Arizona, as they fight for the preservation of their ethnic studies program. The film explores the importance of such programs in empowering students and helping them understand their culture and history.
