I am looking for a documentary that addresses intergenerational trauma/historical trauma and touches on slavery, the Holocaust, treatment of indigenous people, the internment of Japanese, as well as racism. Or perhaps there is a really good Ted Talk that someone knows of or even a Youtube presentation. Thank you.

The Institute for Family Support Professionals has an excellent module:
My book, SURVIVOR CAFE: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory, addresses all of these interconnected subjects at length. In addition to hardcover and paperback editions, it's available as an e-book and also in audio format (narrated by me). There are numerous videos on YouTube featuring my presentations about the work as well. Happy to be in touch with you directly if you wish to know more. Thanks for your interest.
PACEs Connection has an ongoing "Historical Trauma in America" series that is very informational.
There's a video of an online presentation specific to historical trauma in indigenous people of North America, that I think is of value because two case examples are given of how communities have worked together to heal from historical, intergenerational, and individual trauma.
