Ten Years of Social Struggles. Who We Are
Description
Television has emerged as a dominant teaching tool in the area of complex contemporary social issues-a modern-day civics text. The range of subjects is as diverse as our culture: welfare, the farm crisis, the state of the American family, abortion, race relations. Yet documentaries are a threatened species because they take so long to research, report, shoot, and edit. Still, news of the documentary's death has been exaggerated; each of the excerpts in this program is an eloquent testimonial to the triumph of the television documentary form. Narrated by Peter Jennings.
