Teachers (including homeschool parents) can order a free Izzit.org educational video once a year. For the Middle East or international terrorism topic, any of the Hernando de Soto videos will be valuable. In fact all of the Hernando de Soto videos are worth watching.
Izzit.org videos cover key economic and institutional issues, and the Hernando de Soto videos are valuable for geography and history as well as government and development economics.
