Here's a beginning list of documentaries, etc., recently mentioned in class or other conversations that I want to check out someday. A bunch of them are about arts/music, community programming and hip hop culture. I love the habit/community of learning here, and would love to bring it to wherever I end up! This would be a cool way-- to have informal screenings of this stuff and then discuss with whomever comes. (I bet a bunch of these are available online or at the library.) Will update as I get more, I think.

* Soundmix -- documentary - 5 young musicians coming together to play together
Boys of Baracca (sp?) -- documentary - Baltimore boys being shipped to S. Africa to get an education (?)
