Hilltopmom Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Looking for documentaries or video lecture series to complement world geography/ cultures & comparative religion courses at the middle school level (for a kid with LDs, Great Courses too advanced).

sdobis Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Globe Trekker and Families of the World are both free on Amazon Prime. I'm planning on using these next year for our Eastern Hemisphere study. We will be discussing religion but more from a Christian standpoint and missions since my daughter wants to go into missions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 For religion... We watched parts of this BBC series: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00glqx9 Around the World in 80 Faiths. It was interesting - it followed a British vicar as he went around the world meeting people who practiced lots of different religions. His perspective was clearly as an open minded, liberal leaning, Christian, which I liked. I didn't like so much that a lot of the religions the show portrayed were probably best described as "fringe" - though certainly not all. I won't link it, but you can easily find it streaming on a number of platforms for free. We also watched a slightly older (maybe late 90's or early aughts) BBC series that focused on Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but I can't seem to find that one to link it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopmom Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hmm, probably worth renewing my Amazon prime for some of these. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
