571, Sizwe Banzi Is Dead, 1992, 90 min. The genesis of "Sizwe Bansi Is Dead" can be traced to Fugard’s experiences as a law clerk at the Native Commissioner’s Court in Johannesburg. At that time, it was required that every black and colored citizen over the age of 16 carried an identity book that restricted employment and travel within the country. In court, Fugard saw the repercussions of this law: blacks were sent to jail at an alarming rate.

507, Sky Is Gray, 1980, 46 min. Contains many of the themes and images Gaines returns to again and again in his work: themes of personal responsibility, grace under pressure and moral behavior; images of strong mothers, mysteriously absent fathers and families in which love is expressed more often in harsh words or silence than in overt praise or affection. Supporting these ideas is Gaines’s keen awareness of the all-pervasive and profoundly formative influence of race on virtually every aspect of life in the rural South of this era. Though he would no doubt take issue with the South being described as a singular place and would certainly argue that it is many places, each different, each having unique gifts of nature and people, each facing unique challenges, he would just as surely agree with W.E.B. Du Bois’s famous observation, in the ‘‘Forethought’’ of "The Souls of Black Folk," that ‘‘the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line,’’ for it is this ‘‘color line’’ in all of its manifestations that his work so carefully documents.

367, Small Happiness: One Village in China, 1987, 60 min. The series shows us the village of Long Bow, some 400 miles southwest of Beijing. About 20 percent of the population of 2,000 is Roman Catholic, which might account for the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers and the Catholic Communication Campaign being included in the long list of underwriters for the series. In any event, the Long Bow Group, which also includes Kathy Kline and Dan Sipe, was able to get many of the villagers to relax and to be relatively candid before the camera. Ms. Hinton carefully explains that no one village can represent all of China. One point underscored: although rural Chinese society has undergone tremendous changes during the past few decades, traditional attitudes continue to shape the life of the small village.
