Driving While Black

Synopsis: This film is based in Cincinnati where friction between the Police Department and the African-American population has escalated into confrontation more than once in the past thirty years. The issue of ‘stop and frisk’, the American term for stop and search, is investigated at a time when a number of Civil Rights organisations have presented a legal case against the Police Department, supported by the most extensive research completed so far on racial profiling.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
