WARNING: This documentary shows how racism can cause the most atrocious of actions by anyone against anyone. Please make sure you have watched the documentary BEFORE you show yours students, as there is some GRUESOME footage. Please take this into consideration if you decided to include it, or skip the mentioned sections.

LA 92 is a Nat. Geo documentary on the LA Riots of 1992. The documentary is unique in that it uses only footage and audio from the time period. This adds a different type of feel that gives a more precise view of the 90's to our students. It is a heartbreaking and horrible event in our history that many Americans, especially our younger ones - have never had the opportunity to learn about and many don't even know it happened.

However the importance of understanding how we got to that event and what caused us to be there is as important as ever. The documentary explores racism from all sides against all sides, how the perception of racism led to the destruction of huge parts of LA and its people. The footage and audio is certainly rated "R" so please watch this prior to showing it to students.

The questions provided put students in the shoes of people who were there and ask them about what it must have felt like to be in such a situation. I made this with the intent of transporting students to that time period, so they had a wider scope of the world then and how it has/has not changed to where we are today.
