Kartemquin Films, Vol. 2: Winnie Wright, Age 11 (1974)

Three films by the Kartemquin Films Collective poignantly and honestly deal with personal and social change. In Winnie Wright, Age 11, Winnie is the daughter of a steelworker and school teacher watching the dramatic racial and class changes in her neighborhood. She learns valuable and frightening lessons about growing up female, working class and white (1974, 26 mins.).

Now We Live on Clifton, on the same program, focuses on Pam and Scott Taylor, children who watch their multiracial, working-class neighborhood through an awkward though inevitable gentrification (1974, 26 mins.).

Parents is an open-ended discussion about a youth group and their feelings about their parents and the "generation gap" (1968, 22 mins.).
Doesn't look to be ontopic, however available for purchase (VHS) here...
