The events of September 11 and their aftermath confront us with complex issues involving our sense of place at home and abroad, conflicting desires for safety and liberty, and difficult choices about how to go forward as a nation. In our media-centric culture, film and video are essential tools for fostering much needed dialogue about these matters in our schools, community organizations, churches and workplaces.

To this end, National Video Resources curated a collection of films and videos, accompanied by introductory essays and discussion questions, to assist community organizers, educators, librarians and others do effective programming to address the challenges we face as a nation and as citizens of the world.
