Now Available! Electing the President: Six Steps to the Summit Explaining the presidential election process to students may border on the impossible, yet this program accomplishes just that. Revised for the 2012 election, this one-of-a-kind video employs footage of candidates and events to trace the necessary and customary steps for electing the U.S. president. This latest revision takes into account the changes in the process that have occurred since the 2004 and 2008 elections. Segmented for class- room use, the program thoroughly details: the rise and importance of primaries; the evolution and purpose of the conventions; the changing campaign and the impact of debates; the voting procedures; the electoral process; and Congressional action and the emergence of the courts. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available on DVD only. (56 minutes) © 2012 C $80.00 QGR49122 • DVD


Now Available! Gerrymandering Gerrymandering is defined as the carving up of a state into districts in a way that allows one political party to gain more clout than another. It has also been called the most effective way to manipulate an election’s outcome short of outright fraud. Focusing on the fight to pass Proposition 11—drafted to give redistricting power to a bipartisan rather than legis- lative group—this documentary explores the ethical implications of gerrymandering and looks at some historical examples of how the practice has been used. The experience of assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, who was redistricted out of his own territory by a threatened incumbent; the dramatic response of House Democrats to proposed redistricting in Texas; and how redistricting impacted Barack Obama’s political career are all explored with insights from political figures, legal experts, journal- ists, and activists. With Lani Guinier, of Harvard Law School and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. (77 minutes) © 2010 Preview Clip Online C $169.95 QGR49107 • DVD / VOD
