Lucia,
I have tons but can't release them because they are clients' work, not my firm's.

However, most government documents are in the public domain once they are made public, such as when they are published to a public-facing website.

Google *.gov + *.pdf and you'll find quite a few samples (well, probably millions) that might work for you. You might find:

-- A really bad PDF that you can demonstrate in the video how to remediate.

-- The same annual report but for different years. The latest might be more accessible than previous years. I use samples like this in my accessible design classes and they work very well because government reports usually maintain the same visual appearance from one edition to the next, so you can compare how various elements are accessible in one and not in another.

Some government samples are below (note these are large PDFs made from InDesign layouts so they are full of design doo-hickeys, sidebars, graphics, lists, and more lists. And those crazy-named tags that InDesign creates, but use Acrobat's role-map utility to view how they will be interpreted by A.T.

Here's an older 2011 edition that isn't accessible at all: https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/quarterlyreports/2011-10-30qr.pdf
A later version in 2012 that's fairly accessible: https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/quarterlyreports/2012-04-30qr.pdf
And a 2014 version that someone attempted to make accessible but really didn't know what they were doing: https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/quarterlyreports/2014-07-30qr.pdf
