Sacred Soil - Streaming Video from the Docuseek Database
A documentary on the efforts of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation. The Foundation is involved in excavating mass graves, primarily for identifying victims of political violence, those who were killed as part of the innumerable army-led acts of violence towards the indigenous people. Leaving an estimated 160,000 dead, violence still endures, in the case of Foundation workers, death made towards its workers.
Village without Women - Streaming Video from the Alexander St. Database
This raucous yet poignant documentary takes us into the lives of three Serbian brothers who are without wives in a remote mountain village of eight inhabitants, all of them single men. Filmed with an ironic sense of humor, Village Without Women is a must-see for Anthropology, Gender Studies and Eastern Europe Studies.

Alexander Street Video

Technical Note - Permanent Links and Embed codes in Alexander Street Video's collections do not function as expected. This has been reported to the vendor, who is aware of the issue.

A workaround exists that involves replacing the term "proquest" in the URL string with "alexanderstreet" instead. As an example, the generated permanent link for a Alexander Street video may look like:

https://0-search-proquest-com.librus.hccs.edu/view/work/bibliographic_entity%7Cvideo_work%123456

By replacing the term "proquest" above with "alexanderstreet," the permanent link would then look like:

https://0-search-alexanderstreet-com.librus.hccs.edu/view/work/bibliographic_entity%7Cvideo_work%123456

and should function as expected. The newly altered link or embed code should then allow off-campus access to valid users.
