Hi Sarah,

Per your query, my two favorites are "Metropolitan Avenue" (if focuses 
on the neighborhood I organized in during the late '80s, 
Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Brooklyh, with a nice exploration of 
grassroots, multi-ethnic women as community leaders) and "You Got to 
Move" about the work of the Highlander Center in Tennessee -- includes 
an extensive focus on organizing down south during the Civil Rights 
Movement, and environmental justice organizing in Appalachia.

I've really liked using Stranger with a Camera by Elizabeth Barret from 
Appalshop. It isn't exactly on community organizing but it looks at the 
inherent dilemmas that surface when coming into a different community 
and trying to work for change and tell the story as an outsider. Here's 
the website:
