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 making these films available.
Good luck!

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.
