Reynolds and Kendi remix American history into a fast, fearless guide to how racism was built — and how to dismantle it. Smart, conversational, and unapologetically honest, Stamped teaches young readers to read the world critically. It’s the anti-textbook: truth with rhythm and heart.

Most Likely to Succeed(2015)
dir. Greg Whiteley
The best case for project-based learning, with caveats.
A year inside High Tech High, a San Diego charter school built entirely around project-based learning instead of standardized instruction, following two classes of ninth graders.
Why it’s here: Makes the most vivid case in documentary form for project-based learning over the standard model — but its history of how American schooling got this way has been disputed by actual education historians, and its producers have their own stake in the reform it's arguing for. Worth watching with that critique alongside it, not instead of it.
