I saw this on PBS in the afternoon on my weekday off, years ago, and it has always stuck with me. It's an hour long, but it is thoroughly engaging and packs a wallop in what feels like 15 minutes. "Building the American dream: Levittown, NY" http://store.cinemaguild.com/nontheatrical/product/1323.html
You may be interested in this part of the series "Race: The Power of Illusion," "The House We Live In," http://www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_04-teachers-07.htm "A City Is Born" looks interesting as well, though I haven't seen it to recommend it: http://statemuseumpa.org/levittown/two/k.html Maybe not so curiously, it is Levittown, PA, not the Long Island suburb. “Hard Times: Lost on Long Island" looks fascinating, if not like a total bummer, too. http://www.wnyc.org/story/221452-blog-long-island/ Best, Elizabeth McMahon Elizabeth On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 8:24 AM, Sarah E.

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.
