Hi everyone,

I'm teaching a second-year introduction to ling anth for the first time. 
The sister courses in socio-cultural here use a great deal of AV 
material, along with the lectures and tutorial discussions. I'd be very 
grateful for any recommendations for useful movies, youtube clips, and 
the like that others have found useful to teach ling anth topics. For 
example, I have found the comedian Russell Peters is useful for 
introducing students to ethnicity and race with language. There's a 
youtube clip from one of his shows on "cultural names" that works well.

I have a feeling that this has been asked before, and if so, feel free 
to point me to the archived discussion. If not, I'm happy to collate the 
answers that I get into a blog post or the like.

Thanks in advance!

Alejandro
