Sociology Through Documentary Film
This list was originally created by Jessie Daniels, PhD (Hunter College and The Graduate Center-CUNY). Now that the list is a wiki, everyone is encouraged to create a login, update and add to the list. (except evil spammers - boo!) Here's how to add documentaries to this list:
How things are organized here:
- The top-level of organization is that this list includes only documentary films not feature films (if you're not sure of the difference, read this).
- Following that, the films are organized first by category (roughly these categories correspond to some of the key concepts within the field of sociology).
- Within each category, each sub-list of films is arranged from oldest to most recent. If you add a film, please be sure to follow the organizational schema.
- When possible, the information about each film that's listed includes the following: 1) the year it was released, 2) a hyperlink to additional information about the film (ideally, a link to where the film can be ordered) and, 3) the director listed. If you add a film, please be sure to add this information.
The teaching part:
The Sociological Imagination
- The Up Series (1964-2005). Directed by Michael Apted. A sociological cross-section of children in England are interviewed about their hopes for the future. The children are revisited every 7 years as they progress into adulthood. Each film in the series is emotional and moving. Currently concludes with 56 Up.
- “56 Up” (2013) Directed by Michael Apted.

Drugs: Addiction, Alcohol, Tobacco
Drugs: Drug War
Ethnicity / Race
- “True Colors.” (ABC, PrimeTime Live). Diane Sawyer and news crew stage what is basically a “matched study” experiment by pairing John, who is white, and Glen, who is black, and follow them with a series of hidden cameras with as they expose racism in a variety of settings. Although old (early 1990s) and very short (just 19 minutes), if I could only show one film to a class about race in the U.S., I would choose this one. Available for purchase here.
- "Grace Lee Project" (2005) Directed by Grace Lee.
- Jessie Daniels maintains a separate, and more extensive, list of films about race and racism at RacismReview.
- C.N. Le also maintains a separate and extensive list of documentaries about Asian Americans, organized by topic, at Asian-Nation.org.
- "Race: The Power of an Illusion" (2003) Directed by Larry Adelman.
- "Moving Midway" (2008) Directed by Godfrey Cheshire.
