Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman also includes a two-disc box of Educational Excerpts.

This two-disc set is a collection of eighteen segments from the six-chapter film arranged to further examine and learn more about the specific issues raised in FLYING. Each segment runs from three minutes to thirty minutes with sophisticated on-screen questions following each topic to assist in generating group discussion.
 
 

“Luckily for the educational market, Ms. Fox offers the very best way to use her film in a classroom setting. She includes the full series of episodes in an Educational Package, plus discs that contain chunks of her longer film organized by topic. This is an excellent way…to spark discussion or serve as a writing prompt.”
- Educational Media Reviews Online

“What is interesting…is the cross-cultural perspective gained through the many interviews with women in other countries. The educational excerpts (one of two additional DVDs) are…the most useful, as they condense hours of the documentary into themed segments. Fox is to be commended for her candor and for the unique techniwue of ‘passing the camera’.”
- Library Journal

“In the age of reality TV, this documentary series merges the personal documentary with cultural criticism. Not only is the self reflection fascinating in terms of filmmaking, but Jennifer Fox confronts issues haunting women for decades here and abroad.”
- Marsha Rock, Director of Broadcast Journalism, New York University

“You could happily talk for days about Fox’s Flying: storytelling, filmmaking, genre, globalism, feminism, sexuality, family, repression, aging, love…I’m breathless. What a rich film! An elegant, engaging demonstration, in both form and content, of how the personal is political.”
- Lydia Foerster, The New School
