Films You Saw in School

Millions of dollars in public funds were allocated to US school districts in the post-Sputnik era for the purchase of educational films, resulting in thousands of 16mm films being made by young filmmakers. This discusses more than 1,000 such films. People ranging from adult film stars to noted physicists appeared in them, some notable directors made them, people died filming them, religious entities attempted to ban them, and even the companies that made them tried to censor them.
