I use El Norte a bit and Chinatown is a classic. Also, there is a new documentary called Deforce on Detroit.

The main problem is that the movie runs pass one typical classroom lecture in terms of time. I have made the bargain with students if they come to see the movie at an after-hours time then we will cancel one class. Sincerely, David Dr. David W.
