National Geographic has a fabulous film project called the "All Roads film project". The films being produced are wonderful insites into indigenous cultures and could be great resources for geography and social studies teachers!

"All Roads is a National Geographic initiative created to provide an international platform for indigenous and underrepresented minority-culture artists to share their cultures, stories, and perspectives through the power of film and photography. All Roads is an exciting, groundbreaking film festival, photography program, and film grant program rolled into one."
