Susan, You might consider our film Mirrors of Privilege for this purpose. White interviewees share their stories of learned and internalized stereotypes of people of color. Contains some historical context as well. http://world-trust.org/mirrors-of-privilege-making-whiteness-visible/

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.
