Hi Vicki, HBO doesn't currently license its documentaries for streaming and, as you are a for-profit college, you aren't covered for face-to-face screenings under section 110 of Copyright. If your students are able to access physical reserves in a library, that might be your best option for

Actually it is not a documentary but there has been for many years a problem licensing made for TV films because they use a different standard contract than theatrical films and complications in rights can arise. Under no circumstances can one ever charge admission and this may in fact also mean
