I wasn't shown much in a classroom setting, but when I was younger, I did seek some out videos precisely because I knew I was sheltered from a lot of the darker aspects of the human experience and wanted to look behind the curtain in what was basically a safe, controlled environment.
Some of the first videos I saw of people dying, besides like 9/11 I guess, were protest videos of protesters getting shot.
Nowadays, I know I don't need to see that stuff anymore so I avoid it when I can, but what I watched left a strong enough impression to shape some of my politics and I believe help keep myself attuned to reality and realize the bubble I really live in.
