Specifically, my 1st Amendment, Supreme Court, and Holocaust in Lit/Film classes. My Holocaust class is probably the most interesting class I have ever taken and I wish everyone would take a class on this topic. Here are some things I wanted to share from these classes. If they're not in English, then they at least have English subtitles and all of them are worth watching!
Die Welle (The Wave) was based on the true story of a California high school teacher who spontaneously did an experiment with her students.

Night and Fog (1955)
A short French documentary on the concentration camps. Though there are some very graphic parts.
Skokie/Neo-Nazi/Frank Collin
I couldn't find the documentary I watched in my 1st Amendment class but Frank Collin led the National Socialist Party of America to Skokie, IL in 1977. One of the interviews in the doc had Collin making extremely antisemitic remarks that I found shocking, but constitutionally protected by the 1st Amendment.
The Colbert Report - Justice John Paul Stevens
The Colbert Report - Justice John Paul Stevens
My previous recommendations are a little bit depressing, I know. Thats why you should definitely watch this clip of former Supreme Court justice with Stephen Colbert. And this guy is 91 years old!
