Nancy,
Recently at the national EQUALS sites retreat, we viewed "It's
Elementary", a film about education and sexual orientation. Although the
approach is not as provocative as "The Color of Fear", "It's Elementary"
is a powerful film and I highly recommend it. I can't tell you where to
get it though. I would contact Terri Belcher at EQUALS: 510-642-0230.
