Hi Meghann, WMM has a few films that fit what you're looking for.
---------------------------------- THE PRICE OF SEX - http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c804.shtml An unprecedented and compelling inquiry into a dark side of immigration so difficult to cover or probe with depth, THE PRICE OF SEX sheds light on the underground criminal network of human trafficking and experiences of trafficked Eastern European women forced into prostitution abroad. ----------------------------------- DISH: WOMEN, WAITRESSING, AND THE ART OF SERVICE - http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c808.shtml Why do women bring your food at local diners, while in high-end establishments waiters are almost always men? DISH, by Maya Gallus, answers this question in a delicious, well-crafted deconstruction of waitressing and our collective fascination with an enduring popular icon. ----------------------------------- THE PEACEKEEPRS AND THE WOMEN - http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c651.shtml Winner of the Arte-Documentary Award for Best German Documentary, this chilling investigation examines the booming sex-trafficking industry in Bosnia and Kosovo, and boldly explores the disturbing role of the UN peacekeeping forces and the local military in perpetuating this tragic situation. ------------------------------------ TEA & JUSTICE: NYPD'S 1ST ASIAN WOMEN OFFICERS - http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml Tea & Justice chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police Department during the 1980s-the first Asian women to become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male.

Again, the operative words are current (within the last few years), short (50 minutes or less), and *not* internationally-focused. Thanks in advance, ************************* Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

College Ave. Newark, DE 19717 (302) 831-1475 http://www.lib.udel.edu/filmandvideo VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
