RACE: The Power of an Illusion
This film challenges one of our most fundamental beliefs: that human beings
come divided into a few distinct groups. This definitive three-part series is an
eye-opening tale of how what we assume to be normal, commonsense, even
scientific, is actually shaped by our history, social institutions and cultural
beliefs.

Crow
 A highly regarded PBS documentary by UTMB's Dr. Thomas Cole, faculty member
at IMH, The Strange
Demise of Jim Crow reveals how Houston was desegregated in a quiet, almost
stealthy fashion with behind-the-scenes negotiations, secret deals and
controversial news black-outs. It makes visible a fascinating case-study of how
urban power is really wielded.
