Traces of the Trade collaborated with PBS and their documentary film series, P.O.V., in the creation of two guides for discussing the film.

Interested viewers may download our discussion guide for background information, questions and suggestions on discussing the film.

Those planning to lead discussions of the film may instead be interested in our expanded facilitator’s guide.

There are additional materials available in the links on the right. These include essays on concerns frequently encountered among discussion participants of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as additional historical and other background materials.
