Law and religion materials on Box of Broadcasts?

Inspired by some great use of Box of Broadcasts in legal teaching, I’ve been looking at suitable “further viewing” for my third year LLB option in Religion and Law. I’ve added a number to this year’s module, but thought it was something that UK law and religion teachers based in the UK (where most of us have access to Box of Broadcasts), might want to share suggestions on!

So my current materials below, by category. Please email me at pwedge@brookes.ac.uk with your suggestions, either in these categories or under new categories, and I will update. If you could keep the same format (so include hyperlink at bob) that would be handy.

Defining Religion.

“Around the World in 80 Faiths” (2019). A TV series exploring a wide range of religious systems around the world. The episodes on the US and Europe are most relevant to the focus of my course.

Freedom of conscience.

“A Man for All Seasons” (1966) Excellent full-length movie around the final years of Thomas More. One of my favourite films, but raises issues of faith in the law, the forum internum, and law and politics.

Equality and inequality.

“Young, Welsh and Pretty Religious” (2019). A 2019 documentary looking at nine young Welsh people of a wide variety of faiths, in this episode looking at their experiences of intolerance. A really thought provoking succession of people talking about a range of inequalities in their lives including a substantial discussion of being LGBT+ Christian; niqab wearing women;  becoming a Hare Krishna monk; and antisemitism (with an interesting point about vegan food and religion). Part of a series of three episodes available on bob.

Marriage.

“The Big Questions”, Episode 8 (2017). A studio discussion show, which at 42 mins in turns to civil partnerships, with an interesting contribution by Peter Tatchell on “Is marriage what you make it?”.  The series covers a lot of religion/society/politics questions.
