In 2000, PBS ran a "Culture Shock" series that included an episode called "Born to Trouble: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." A good teacher's guide was developed for it and it is still online: Huck Finn in Context: A Teaching Guide http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/cultureshock/teachers/huck/index.html I don't know if the episode is still available to watch. It doesn't seem to be listed in the PBS store but some libraries might have it. Another resource that might be good to introduce was published in the Mark Twain Circular in 1999: "In Praise of 'Spike Lee’s Huckleberry Finn' by Ralph Wiley," by Shelley Fisher Fishkin http://faculty.citadel.edu/leonard/od99wiley.htm It introduces a film script by Ralph Wiley and there is a link at the top to portions of the script. Twain very successfully hid his authorial voice when writing Huckleberry Finn, and many readers have trouble understanding how that works -- that it is Huck who is talking and only his view of the world that we're introduced to. Wiley's script supplies a well-informed authorial voice that can help people to understand the novel. Shelley Fisher Fishkin's introduction discusses her use of the script in the classroom. I don't know if it has ever been used to address a challenge to the book but it seems to me that it might be very useful for that. Jim
