AAS VT0639C

MISSISSIPPI: IS THIS AMERICA? (1962-1964) Vol. 3 Mississippi becomes a testing ground of constitutional principles as civil rights activists focus their energies on right to vote. In 1963, NAACP leader Medgar Evers is silenced by an assassin's bullet. In Freedom Summer 1964, tensions between White resistance & movement activists climax in the murder of 3 young civil rights workers. Amidst horror, Civil Rights Bill of 1964 is passed & seeds of political change are planted. BRIDGE TO FREEDOM (1965) Vol. 3 TV is by now a major player in struggle for civil rights.

Eyes on the Prize: The Time Has Come (1964-66)/Two Societies (1965-68)
AAS VT0639D

THE TIME HAS COME (1964-1966) Vol. 4 In South & urban North, leaders emerged who helped transform civil rights movement into a broader struggle for human rights. Their message was direct: "The Time Has Come." This urgency was best articulated by Malcolm X who exhorted African Americans to build a base of power founded on self-respect, self-reliance, & independent Black institutions. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee responded to Malcolm's call by launching an independent political party in Alabama using the symbol of a black panther to counter existing Democratic Party's white rooster. Malcolm X's influence also reverberated in call for "Black Power," raised by SNCC chairman Stokely Carmichael during a march through MS. TWO SOCIETIES (1965-1968) Vol. 4 "Two Societies" reveals divisions that existed between African Americans & Whites in America's cities where African Americans had gained little from southern freedom movement by late '60s. In Chicago one of most segregated cities in country, we see southern civil rights movement's attempt to bring nonviolent movement noth. Dr. King & his Southern Christian Leadership Conference led protest marches through White suburbs where its nonviolent methods were tested. In Detroit tensions exploded during the summer of 67 & more than 100 cities shared the pain of racial violence. A presidential commission warned that America had become "2 societies, separate & unequal".

Eyes on the Prize: Power! (1966-68)/The Promised Land (1967-68)
AAS VT0639E

POWER! (1966-1968) Vol. 5 Solutions to problems of inequality were as diverse as America itself. Communities mobilized for change in strikingly different ways, but their ultimate goal was the same - power. In Cleveland, Carl Stokes sought power through the ballot box & became first Black mayor of a major city. In streets of Oakland, CA where tensions are high between community & police activists formed the Black Panther Party for self-defense to advocate community empowerment & social programs & to monitor police. In Brooklyn NY African American & Latino residents elected an interracial governing board to control their children's education. Their 2 year experiment was buffeted by teacher strikes & battles for power but out of struggle came an organized community of parent activists. THE PROMISED LAND (1967-1968) Vol. 5 Vietnam War further divided America & government's War on Poverty began to suffer. Dr. King spoke out against war facing a firestorm of anger from across nation. King & his SCLC joined others in movement seeking to expand struggle for civil rights to include economic equality. SCLC organized a multiracial Poor People's March to DC to force government response. They also joined a peaceful protest in support of striking Memphis sanitation workers which was shattered when an assissin's bullet took King's life. A hundred cities exploded in riots & murder of Robert Kennedy shortly after only added to darkness. Promised Land now seemed more difficult to reach but legacy of 1960's activism provided a foundation for future action.

Eyes on Prize: Aint Gonna Shuffle No More (1964-72/Nation of Law? (1968-71)
AAS VT0639F

AIN'T GONNA SHUFFLE NO MORE (1964-1972) Vol. 6. At pinnacle of his success the young boxer Cassius Clay announced his conversion to Muslim faith & became Mohammad Ali. He embodied spirit of resistance to war in Vietnam by refusing army service, sacrificing his heavyweight title & fighting for his principles up to Supreme Court. At Howard University nation's premier Black institution many students felt that school was too slow in developing courses with an African American perspective. When angry students took over university administration building in protest a new chapter in Black education began. At 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary Indiana, 8,000 African Americans ratified a sweeping agenda setting stage for unprecedented Black political participation. A NATION OF LAW? (1968-1971) Vol. 6 Names like The Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton, & Attica equaled controversy in America of law & order promised by President Nixon. Urban rebellion & campus unrest had brought cycles of protest & reprisals, leaving many wondering if America was in fact "a nation of law." For some Black Panther Party's vow of self-defense "by any means necessary" evoked memory of Malcolm X & overshadowed Party's community service activities. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover declared Panthers the US's #1 threat to internal security. With help of a FBI informant police raided the apartment of Illinois Party chairman Fred Hampton killing him & another Panther leader. The law & order crackdown also had tragic results in NY Attica State Correctional Facility where state troopers & guards stormed prison after an inmate rebellion. Thirty-nine people were killed all by gunfire from government weapons.

Eyes on Prize: Keys to the Kingdom (1974-80)/Back to Movement (1979-80s)
AAS VT0639G

THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM (1974-1980) Vol. 7 From South Boston to Atlanta Americans sought remedies for problems of discrimination. In Boston issue was busing. White parents reacted violently to court ordered busing & Black parents steeled children for their role in this next civil rights battle. For both Blacks & Whites busing proved an unpopular means of integrating schools but in words of a Black parent, "There was no turning back." Undoing wrongs of past discrimination proved equally complex in workplace. Though 50% of Atlanta was African American less than 1% of city contracts were awarded to African American firms. Following his election as Atlanta's 1st Black mayor, Maynard Jackson aggressively pursued affirmative action in hiring & awarding city contracts. Even so Atlanta's persistently high poverty rate showed limits of what local government could accomplish. Affirmative action faced its first crucial test in the Supreme Court when a White man sued a university on grounds of "reverse discrimination." BACK TO THE MOVEMENT (1979-MID 1980's) Vol. 7 Powerlessness that was felt in many Black communities in 3rd decade of civil rights movement provoked both rage & activism. In Miami's Overtown section, a young Black salesman died after being beaten by police for a traffic violation & officers were acquitted by an all-White jury. Overtown exploded in worst riot in a decade. In Chicago 1st female mayor gained great publicity by moving into Cabrini Green, a predominantly Black housing project. But in eyes of many African Americans Jane Byrne did little to change problems of Chicago's inner city. Despite severe opposition Black community mobilized a grassroots campaign to elect U.S. Congressman Harold Washington to serve as Chicago's first Black mayor. Their success became a symbol of hope & a model for change.

Peter Jennings: No Place To Hide
CMS DVD0242

This is a report about one of the most important and least understood results of the tragedy on September 11th. In a one-hour primetime special, ABC News anchor Peter Jennings examines the government's effort to harness technology in the name of security, and the price we might pay if we fail to balance security and freedom in the digital age. It's getting harder all the time to be lost in the crowd, but the ever-present video cameras in our daily lives are only a small part of the story. Today an overwhelming number of our daily transactions can be electronically monitored by private companies, the results of which are very often sold to or otherwise absorbed by the government. The most amazing artificial intelligence programs sift through our data trail to make judgments about us - and detect unusual behavior. "Peter Jennings Reporting: No Place to Hide" is a collaboration with The Center for Investigative Reporting and Washington Post staff reporter Robert O'Harrow. Peter Bull is the producer of "No Place to Hide." Tom Yellin is the executive producer of "Peter Jennings Reporting."

Directors - Wes Craven
ENG DVD0027

No Logo: Brands Globalization Resistance
DOC VT1400

In the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. But why do some of the world's best-known brands find themselves on the wrong end of the spray paint can - the targets of anti-corporate campaigns by activists & protestors? No Logo, based on best-selling book by journalist & activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic & cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike, The Gap & Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles. Using hundreds of media examples, No Logo shows how the commercial takeover of public space, destruction of consumer choice, & replacement of real jobs with temporary work - the dynamics of corporate globalization - impact everyone, everywhere. It also draws attention to the democratic resistance arising globally to challenge the hegemony of brands. 42 min

Rich Media
DOC VT1401

If a key indicator of the health of a democracy is the state of its journalism, the United States is in deep trouble. In Rich Media, Poor democracy Robert McChesney lays the blame for this state of affairs at the doors of the corporate boardrooms of big media, which far from delivering on their promises of more choice & more diversity, have organized a system characterized by a lack of competition, homogenization of opinion & formulaic programming. Through numerous examples, it is demonstrated how journalism has been compromised by the corporate bosses of conglomerates such as Disney, Sony, Viacom, News Corp & AOL Time Warner to produce a system of news that is high on sensationalism & low on information. They suggest that unless citizen activism can reclaim the commons, this new corporate system will be characterized by a rich media & an every impoverished, poor democracy.

Antigone
ENG DVD0184

The three Theban plays - Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone - tell the story of Oedipus and his family: of how the great King of Thebes was destroyed after the learned his true identity, of his mysterious death years later at Colonus, and how his daughter Antigone defied the power of the state embodied in her mother's brother, King Creon. They stand as a series of studies of the realationships between fathers and children. In this superb version - a coproduction of the BBC and Films for the Humanities & Sciences - this task has been accomplished by means of an aggressively contemporary translation that remains true to the text; setting the plays in the past yet not the distant past, not any pinpointable past; and dispensing with masks, using the finest classical British actors. Antigone is perhaps the most easily accessible of all the great classical tragedies, its theme clear, and up-to-date: the conflict between moral and political law. Now the tale of Oedipus and his family comes to its end - he, his wife Jocasta, his sons, and now, at the last, his dughter, all dead. Antigone is not the only victim in the play; Creon too comes to a tragic downfall - although he repents in time, bureaucratic ritual results int eh deaths of Creon's son and wife, burdening him with guilt as well as greif.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Unlike most "message" films which date themselves almost immediately, Lewis Milestone's low-key unpolished and deeply-felt screen adaptation of the Rich Maria Remarque anti-war novel has lost little of its original impact. Years after its release it was still being banned in countries mobilizing for war. The plot follows a group of young German recruits in World War I through their passage from idealism to disillusionment. As the central character Paul Baumer declares, "We live in the trenches and we fight. We try not to be killed - that's all." "All Quiet" is an anthology of now famous scenes: Paul trapped in a shell crater with a man he has killed; the first meeting of the recruits and the veterans; infantrymen being mowed down to machine-gun visual rhythms; a moonlight swim with French farm girls; Paul's pacifist speech to his astonished schoolmates; and the final shot of the soldier's hand reaching for a fatal butterfly.

Who Owns The Past
ENG VT1353

This outstanding documentary relates the powerful history of the American Indian struggle for control of the ancestral remains. In 1990, after a long struggle between Indian rights groups and the scientific establishment, the Native American Graves Repatriation and Protection Act (NAGPRA) returned to Indian people the right to control the remains of their ancestors. For American Indians, this was perhaps the most inportant piece of civil and human rights legislation of the 20th century. Skeletons and grave goods that had been gathering dust in museums around the country could come home again, and Indian graves would be protected from further descreation. Indian people were not only being heard; their moral claims on their past were being turned into law. Now a new case is testing these claims. The discovery of a 9,000-year-old skeleton on the banks of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington, has re-ignited the conflict between antrhopologist and Indian people over the control of human remains found on the ancestral Indian lands. Anthropologist insist these remains hold the key to America's past and must be studied for the benefit of mankind, while many Indian people believe the exhuming and studying them is a desecreation of their ancestors. Ar the heart of the conflict are two very different and seemingly irreconcilable belief systems. Who Owns The Past? uses the Kennewick Man case as a frame to explore the roots of this conflict, roots that reach bacl to the beginnings of American history.

Return Of Navajo Boy
ENG VT1354

Set in the stunning landscape of Utah's Monument Valley, this uniforgettable, universally acclaimed documentary chronicles the extraordinary saga of how a rediscovered 1950s silent film reel leads to the return of a long-lost brother to his Navajo family. Since the 1930s, members of the Cly family have lived in Monument Valley and appeared as subjects in counless photographs, postcards, and Hollywood westerns-even in a home movie by legendary director John Ford and a propaganda film by a uranium miming company. 1997 filmmaker Jeff Spitz resurrects an old 1950s film called Navajo boy and was able to track down the original subjects, the Cly family, to show it to them. Family matriarch Elsie Mae Cly Begay saw-on film-the faces of her late mother and, most heart-wrenching of all, her infant brother, who had been adopted by white missionaries and never heard from again. The vintage movie prompts Elsie to tell her family's story for the first time, from their work with filmmakers and tourist to the injurious effects of unranium mining on their health and culture.

Forget Baghdad
HIS DVD0153

Forget Baghdad offers a rare glimpse into a commnity which is little known but extremely imporant in light of the current Middle East crisis. Those known as "Sephardis," "Mizrahim" or "Arab Jews" - that is, people of Jewish religion and Arab culture - have long found themselves caught between warring worldviews. Uprooted virtually overnight at the founding of the modern Israeli state, many Sephardis lost first their homeland and then, with the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, their very cultural identity. At a moment when the United States remains at war in Iraq and when peace in the Middle East seems more and more out of reach, this especially timely documentary offers a much-needed glimmer of sanity and hope. Color / In English, Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles / 112 minutes

Shoah
HIS DVD0157

SHOAH is a magical film about the most barbaric act of the 20th century. Previous commentaries on the Holocaust, with its ravished skeletons and corpses, have left us shaken, but now for the first time, we experience it in our heads, in our flesh. Claude Lanzmann spent eleven years spanning the globe for surviving camp inmates, SS commandants, and eyewitnesses of the Final Solution- the Nazi's effort to systematically exterminate human beings. Without dramatic enactment or archival footage, but with extraordinary testimonies, SHOAH renders the step-by-step machinery of extermination: the minutiae of timetables and finances, the logistics of herding victims into the gas chambers and disposing of the corpses afterward, the bureaucratic procedures which expedited the killing of millions of people without mentioning the words "killing" or "people". Through haunted landscapes and human voice, the past comes brilliantly alive. SHOAH is a work of genious, a heroic endeavor to humanize the inhuman, to tell the untellable. It is an immensly disturbing, even shattering experience, yet in its solemnity and beauty not a morbid or disheartening one. There are few works of art which leave one with such a deep appreciation for the preciousness and meaning of life. Special Features: Director's Bio, Scene Selections, & Bilingual Menus 9 hours 26 minutes/color/English, French, Polish, German, Hebrew, Yiddish and Italian with optional English or French subtitles

Aushwitz
HIS DVD0161

Auschwitz occupies a chilling and disturbing place in the history of humankind. It began as a Nazi labor camp to terrorize the local Polish population and evolved into the site of the largest mass murder ever recorded. This six part series presents an in-depth examination of the camp's evolution and the decisions that enabled such an incomprehensibly inhuman place to come into being. The movie is the result of three years of research, drawing on teh close involvement of world experts, recently discovered documents and nearly 100 interviews with camp survivors and perpetrators, many of whom are speaking on the record for the first time. Their stories are brought to life through the innovative use of archive footage, dramatic recreations of key decision-making moments, and their extraordinary testimony. While never losing sight of the suffering of the victims, this documentary offers a unique and alarming look at the mindset of the perpetrators - killers like the Commandent of Auschwitz Rudolf Hoss, camp doctor Josef Mengele, and S.S. Commander Heinrich Himmler. 300min/color/ 2 discs

NOSFERATU: A Symphony of Horror
HIS DVD0162A

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, NOSFERATU is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F.W. Murnau (Sunrise) Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau's Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws -- perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. NOSFERATU was an atypical expressionist film in that much of it was shot on location. While directors such as Lang and Lubitsch built vast forests and entire towns within the studio, NOSFERATU's landscapes, villages and castle were actual locations in the Carpathian mountains. Murnau was thus able to infuse the story with the subtle tones of nature: both pure and fresh as well as twisted and sinister. DVD / Germany 1922/ 93 Min. / Color Tinted

Last Laugh
HIS DVD0162B

The crowning achievement of the German expressionist movement and one of the most notable artworks to arise from the Weimar Republic is Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's THE LAST LAUGH. Emil Jannings stars in the bleak fable of an aging doorman whose happiness crumbles when he is relieved of the duties and uniform which had for years been the foundation of his happiness and pride. Through Jannings's colossal performance, THE LAST LAUGH becomes more than the plight of the single doorman but a mournful dramatization of the frustration and anguish of the universal working class, a phenomenon that was further enhanced by the contribution of the director and cinematographer Karl Freund. Murnau (Nosferatu) and Freund (cinematographer of Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula) tempered their realistic depiction of the laborer's downfall with sequences of bold expressionistic design, contorting the doorman's angst into a nightmarish spectacle of the mocking, leering faces and imposing tenement buildings that surround him on his long, shameful walk back to his apartment...a daily stroll that had once been a gratifying source of self-esteem. Germany / 1924 / 91 min. / Black and White / DVD / Full-Frame

Tartuffe
HIS DVD0162C

The most gifted visual storyteller of the German silent era, F.W. Murnau crafted works of great subtlety and emotional complexity through his absolute command of the cinematic medium. Known for such dazzling films as Nosferatu (1922), The Last Laugh (1924), Faust (1926) and Sunrise (1927), Murnau was also drawn to more intimate dramas exploring the dark corners of the human mind. In Tartuffe, he revisits Moliere's fable of religious hypocrisy, in which a faithful wife (Lil Dagover) tries to convince her husband (Werner Krauss) that their morally superior guest, Tartuffe (Emil Jannings), is in fact a lecherous hypocrite with a taste for the grape. To endow the story with contemporary relevance, Murnau frames Moliere's tale with a modern-day plot concerning a housekeeper's stealthy efforts to poison her elderly master and take control of his estate. Germany / 1925 / Color Tinted / 63 Mins. / DVD / Full-Frame

Faust
HIS DVD0162D

Fresh from the triumphant releases of Nosferatu and The Last Laugh, F.W. Murnau was given carte blanche to direct this epic fable of the supernatural. Freed from the burden of plausibility by the story's fantastic premise, Murnau summoned forth a tempest of cinematic brimstone so that every scene ripples with reckless ingenuity. Utilizing the full resources of the UFA Studios (including elaborate miniature models and experimental special effects), Faust captures the intensity of a medieval universe steeped in religious fanaticism and pagan alchemy. Black-hooded pallbearers lead a torch-lit procession through a plague-stricken village literally cloaked by the wings of Satan. Crowded landscapes materialize and vanish in wisps of smoke, daemonic creatures soar through the heavens and earthly beings are tormented by the vaporous spirits that permeate the dungeon-like homes and Caligari-esque rooftops of this shadow world. In the eye of this infernal maelstrom is the great Emil Jannings (Othello), who sets off the film's sound and fury with a diabolically engaging performance, making Faust (in the words of The New York Times) "A radiant jewel...a masterpiece!" Germany / 1926 / 116 Min. / Black and White / DVD / Full-Frame

TABU
HIS DVD0162E

Filmed entirely in Tahiti, TABU represented an unusual collaboration between legendary directors F.W. Murnau and Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North). Two lovers are doomed by a tribal edict decreeing that the girl is "tabu" to all men. While the lovers' flight from judgment and the ultimate power of the tabu are reminiscent of Murnau's expressionist films, TABU is all open air and sunlight - the brilliant tropical light sparkles on the ocean and glistens on the beautiful young bodies of the native men and women. Murnau's tragic death in a car accident on March 11, 1931, just weeks before the world premiere of TABU, cut short one of film's most brilliant careers. The director of such classics as Nosferatu, The Last Laugh and Sunrise was a genius with an incomparable talent to dazzle the viewer. The 1931 Academy Award winner for Best Cinematography, TABU is available now for the first time since its original release in the complete uncensored version. Thanks to the UCLA restoration, TABU is again one of the most gorgeous black and white films ever made. DVD / Not Rated / B&W / 81 Min.

Napoleon
HIS DVD0167A

For nearly two decades he strode the world stage like a colossus - loved and despised, venerated and feared. From his birth on the rugged island of Corsica to his final exile on the godforsaken island of St. Helen, NAPOLEON brings this extraordinary figure to life. NAPOLEON bears passionate witness to a man whose charisma swayed an empire and sparked his exalted belief in his own destiny. He is a figure riddled with contradictions that are the essence of his glory and undoing: his youthful enthusiasm for the ideals of the French Revolution did not prevent him from crowning himself Emperor. His passionate love of Josephine did not prevent him from divorcing her to marry the eighteen-year-old Archduchess of Austria. His military genius did not save him from the disastrous invasion of Russia. His love of France was so compromised by his notions of personal glory that he repeatedly plunged his beloved country into war. Framed by the grand sweep of history, woven from intimate accounts of and by the man himself, NAPOLEON is a tale as grand as any novel, a story of passion, vaunting ambition and pride ending in exile and loss.

Martin Luther
HIS DVD0188

Martin Luther's attack on the all-powerful Catholic Church was a knife to the heart of an empire that had endured for over a thousand years. Nailing his treatise to the doors of the Wittenberg Cathedral, this previously obscure German monk changed the world forever, unleashing forces that plunged Europe into war and chaos.

Roman Empire in the First Century
HIS DVD0189

Two thousand years ago, at the dawn of the First Century, the world was ruled by Rome. The Roman Empire struggled with problems which are surprisingly familiar: violent coups, assassination, overarching ambition, civil war, clashes between the classes as well as the sexes, and questions of personal freedom versus government control. But from the chaos, the Roman Empire would emerge stronger and more dazzling than ever. Embracing hundreds of languages and religions, it would stretch from Britain across Europe to North Africa, the Middle East, and the borders of Asia, becoming the world's first and most enduring superpower. Through the experiences, memories and writings of the people who lived it, this series tells the story of that time--of the emperors, salves, poets and peasants who wrested order from chaos, built the most cosmopolitan society the world had ever seen, and shaped the Roman Empire in the First Century. color/approx. 291 min./not rated

Greeks Crucible of Civilization

It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history.

This series, narrated by Liam Neeson, recounts the rise, glory, demise and legacy of the empire that marked the dawn of Western civilization. The story of this astonishing civilization is told through the lives of heroes of ancient Greece. The latest advances in computer and television technology rebuild the Acropolis, recreate the Battle of Marathon and restore the grandeur of the Academy, where Socrates, Plate and Aristotle forged the foundation of Western thought.

Impressionists: The Other French Revolution
HIS DVD0193A

Today, their art draws record-breaking crowds to museums and fetches millions of dollars at auction. Yet critics once derided the same paintings as scandalous, ridiculous and even just play ugly. The Impressionists opens with a look at the men who formed the core of the movement: Degas, Pissarro, Renoir and Monet. Despite their disparate backgrounds and temperaments, they were drawn together by a belief that painting needed to change, and they worked together and found with one another, to define what shape that transformation should take. Filled with images of their earliest work and accounts of their struggles to gain acceptance in the all-important, government-sponsored Salon, this volume introduces the men who changed the way the world looked at art. Color/Approx. 100 Min

Impressionists: The Other French Revolution
HIS DVD0193B

In 1871, the Impressionists organized an exhibition of their own in response to the conservation Salon. That same year, they welcomed the opening of the first gallery devoted to their art. Critical response, however, remained withering, and the painters would have to wait until the legendary New York show of 1886 before they were finally able to enjoy the rewards of their long labors. The Impressionists visits some of the world's leading galleries and museums to trace the development of the movement and the artists during these tumultuous years. And in the final hour, authorities such as the painter Chuck Close and the curator of the Frick Collection examine the legacy of the artists and the movement they created. Color/Approx. 100 mins.

Artists of the 20th Century - Wassily Kandinsky
HIS DVD0194

A definitive biography accompanies by spectacular images of the artist's greatest work. Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky is generally regarded as an originator of abstract painting and one of the most important innovators in modern art, both as an artist and as a theorist. He only started painting when he was 30 after training as a lawyer in Moscow, suddenly abandoning his home and profession and traveling to Munich to study art. His talent quickly tested the constraints of art school and he began exploring his own ideas. Beginning in 1903, his work was exhibited throughout Europe and often caused controversy among the public, critics, and his contemporaries. Kandinsky's unrelenting quest for new forms produced works of a great many styles. His earlier works, both abstract and figurative, are characterized by a romantic superabundance of brilliant colors and complex patterns. In the 1920's, his work took him to the extremes of geometric abstraction, with sharply etched outlines and clear patterns. In very late works, Kandinsky blended the free, intuitive image of his earlier years with these geometric forms to create a more elegant, beautifully balanced style. Color/50 min.

Metropolis
HIS DVD0195

Perhaps the most famous and influential of all silent films, METROPOLIS had for 75 years been seen only in shortened or truncated versions. Now, restored in Germany with state of the art digital technology, under the supervision of the Murnau Foundation, and with the original 1927 orchestral score by Gottfried Huppertz added, METROPOLIS can be appreciated in its full glory. It is, as A.O. Scott of the New York Times declared, "A fever dream of the future. At last we have the movie every would-be cinematic visionary has been trying to make since 1927." METROPOLIS takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must live in the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of splendor. The tense balance of these two societies is realized through images that are among the most famous of the 20th century, many of which presage such sci-fi landmarks as 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and BLADE RUNNER. Lavish and spectacular, with elaborate sets and modern science fiction style, METROPOLIS stands today as the crowing achievement of German silent cinema. Kino is proud to present the definitive, authorized version of this towering classic, at a length over one third longer than any previous release, for the first time on DVD and VHS.

Come and See
HIS DVD0205

A crowing achievement of 1980's Soviet cinema, Elem Klimov's COME AND SEE is perhaps the ultimate WWII film. This savage and lyrical fever dream of death, rage, and terror experienced through young eyes is a virtual primer for the subsequent, similarly psychedelic intensity of Terrence Malick's THE THIN RED LINE and Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Time Out New York agreed, saying "COME AND SEE's nimble balance of the sordid with the elegiac makes Peckinpah's CROSS OF IRON seem like NEWSIES." When young Florya willingly joins a group of Partisans fighting the Nazis in Byelorussia, USSR, he little suspects that he is plunging through the looking glass. Seperated from his comrades during a paratroop attack and struck deaf by German artillery, Florya - in the company of Glascha, a beguling peasant girl - wanders a battle-scorched Russian purgatory of prehistoric forests and man-made slaughter. Florya's journey takes him and us through a gallery of exquisitely poetic imagery and brutal human atrochity. Unlike traditional war films, COME AND SEE never stoops to convenient heroic catharsis or genre movie narrative symmerty. Images of a beautiful girl's impromptu dance in the rain and an SS unit's spontaneous, self-congratulatory applause at their own butchery haunt with equal power. More than any other war film, COME AND SEE unites the powerful truths and inescapable dilemmas that lurk behind both the raptures of youth and the horrors of war. 149 minutes/ COLOR/ FULL SCREEN Russian and english subtitles

Set in 1944, as Hitler's Final Solution becomes policy throughout Europe, Fateless is the semi-autobiographical tale of a 14 year-old Jewish boy from Budapest, who finds himself swept up by cataclysmic events beyond his comprehension. A perfectly normal metropolitan teen who has never felt particularly connected to his religion, he is suddenly separated from his family as part of the rushed and random deportation of his city's large Jewish population. Brought to a concentration camp, his existence becomes a surreal adventure in adversity and adaptation, and he is never quite sure if he is the victim of his captors, or of an absurd destiny that metes out salvation and suffering arbitrarily. When he returns home after the liberation, he misses the sense of community he experienced in the camps, feeling alienated from both his Christian neighbors who turned a blind eye to his fate, and the Jewish family friends who avoided deportation and who now want to put the war behind them.

Public Enemy
HIS DVD0266

Shocases James Cagney's powerful 1931 breakthrough performance as streetwise tough guy Tom Powers- but only because production cheof Darryl F. Zanuck made a late casting change. When shooting began, Cagney had a secondary role but Zanuck soon spoted Cagney's screen dominance and gave him the star part. From that moment, an indelible genre classic and an enduring star career were both born. Bristling with 20's style, dialogue and desperation under the masterful directorial eye of WIlliam A. Wellman, this is a virtual time capsule of the Prohibition era: taut, gritty, hard hitting- even at breakfast when grapefruit is served. 84 minutes

Japans War in Colour
HIS DVD0297

Using never-before-seen footage, Japan's War In Colour tells a previously untold story. It recounts the history of the Second World War from a Japanese perspective, combining original colour film with letters and diaries written by Japanese people. It tells the story of a nation at war from the diverse perspectives of those who lived through it: the leaders and the ordinary people, the oppressors and the victims, the guilty and the innocent. Until recently, it was believed that no colour film of Japan existed prior to 1945. But specialist research has now unearthed a remarkable colour record from as early as the 1930s. Examples of these extraordinary scenes include Imperial Japanese troops in Manchuria, the visit of Prince Chichibu-Emperor Hirohito's brother-to Britain and his meeting with Adolf Hitler, Japanese aggression in China, unique colour film of the surprise attack on Pearly Harbor and vibrant scenes of life on the Japanese home front. For eight years the Japanese fought what they believed was a Holy War that became a fight to the death. Japan's War In Colour shows how militarism took hold of the Japanese people; describes why Japan felt compelled to attack the West; explains what drove the Japanese to resist the Allies for so long; and, finally, reveals how they dealt with the shame of defeat.

Pandoras Box
HIS VT1476A

Originally released in 1928, G.W. Pabst's erotic adaptation of Frank Wedekind's "Lulu" plays was mutilated by censors and reviled by critics of the era. Today's restoration of Pandora's Box reveals a masterpiece of the silent era, a momentous meeting of director and star. For the role of Lulu, a destroyer of men who is ultimatly destroyed by Jack the Ripper, the German director rejected a young Marlene Dietrich in favor of American actress Louise Brooks, the epitome of the modern worman of the 1920s. Together they produced a startling sex tragedy and an unorthodox femme fatale who is the true victim- of her own carnality and German upper-class morality. Gazing through the camera, Brooks projects the animal beauty of a woman who sees the world as her sexual playground, unconscious of the havoc she wreaks on the lives of her lovers. Pabst grips the viewer with an almost violent tension, a passion for realism, and an uncompromising treatment of sexual themes. Silent with English intertitles Approx. 110 minutes

Twilight Los Angeles
HIS VT1490

On March 3, 1991, an African-American man was brutally beaten by four white Los Angeles police officers who stopped him for speeding. On April 29, 1992, when the jury's "not guilty" verdict dismissed the officers on trial for the assault, the city ignited into three days of rioting, looting and violence that left neighborhoods smoldering. "Twilight: Los Angeles," adapted from Anna Deavere Smith's searing one-woman play, captures this tumultuous and challenging moment in America's race relations. Conceived, written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith and directed by filmmaker Marc Levin, the film interweaves Smith's masterful performance with documentary footage to examine the tragic events that pitted blacks, whites, Latinos, and Koreans against each other, creating an indelible portrait of rage, loss and battered hope.

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
HIS VT1504

The birth life, teachings and death on the cross of Jesus Christ presented almost as cine-verite documentary. Pasolini's second feature seemed a strange choice for such a revolutionary director, but it is an attempt to take Christ out of the opulent church and present him as an outcast Italian peasant. Applying Neo-Realist methods, the director shot the film in Calabria, using the expressive faces of non-professionals including that of his mother as the Virgin Mary. "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew" is considered the greatest screen version of the "greatest story ever told" and this freshly re-mastered version brings the film to life in a way that has never been seen before.

After Life
HIS VT3016

If you had to choose your single happiest memory, what would it be? In After Life the recently deceased are asked this question. Aided by guides who help them sift through their past, they are given three days to come up with an answer. Once a decision is reached, the guides recreate the memory and capture it on film, giving the deceased a very personal heaven they will enter for eternity. With exquisite beauty, After Life shows us that while the memories people choose may seem simple, be it a first kiss or a last cigarette, their meaning lies in the sense they give of living in the moment and feeling truly and fully alive. And while these memories may seem simple, deciding upon them is no easy task. Using humour and compassion the 'guides' lead, urge and cajole their 'clients' to discover meaning and value in their past, for without a decision the dead will be stuck in limbo, forever recreating and filming the happiness of others. 118 minutes

Hotel Terminus - Part One
HIS VT3019A

Hotel Terminus: The life and times of Klaus Barbie is Marcel Ophuls' award winning documentary work, spanning more than 70 years, three continents and 120 hours of interviews as it explores one of World War II's greatest mysteries. Klaus Barbie, a ruthless SS interrogator know as the "Butcher of Lyon," was implicated in 4,000 deaths and the deporation of 7,000 jews from occupied France and then he disappeared. Hotel Terminus traces the 40-year hunt for Barbie, a hunt initiated by the very government that later hid him and protected his family. Klaus Barbie, a wanted Nazi war criminal, was employed by the American government as an informant in Germany. When discovery was dangerously close, Barbie was smuggled out of Europe on an underground railway with ties to the Vatican. He took refuge in South America, where his "talents" were employed by the governments in Bolivia and Peru. Until he was finally brought to trial in 1987, governments harbored Barbie at the same time that his crime were being denounced. Hotel Terminus exposes a complex web of political intrigue, collaboration and deceit almost as unforgettable as the crimes. 267 minutes

Zoot Suit Riots
HIS VT1537

A brutal murder. A sensational trial. A city erupts in violence. In August 1942, the murder of a young Mexican American man ignited a firestorm in Los Angeles. The tensions that had been building up for years between Mexican and whilte Los Angelenos boiled over. The press claimed Mexican youth- known as "zoot-suiters" for the clothes they wore- were terrorizing the city with crime. Police fanned out across Los Angeles, arresting 600 Mexican Americans. Seventeen "zoot-suiters" were tried for murder. Despite a lack of evidence, they were all found guilty. Using evocative original photography and moving interviews with eyewitnesses, Zoot Suit Riots tells the story of the trial and the violent events of the following summer. Several months after the teens were convicted, racial tensions led to full-scale riots between servicement and the Mexican American community. During the week long riot, "soot-suiters" were beaten and stripped of their clothes. The violence climaxed on the fifth night when 5,000 civilians converged on downtown Los Angeles eager to assist the sailors. Despite the odds, Mexican American kids organized and fought back. This charged yet little known story follows a generation of young Mexican Americans who dared to challenge racial attitudes in Los Angeles during World War II. Their subjection to racial profiling and discrimination by a xenophobic society makes this story resonate with young people of color today. VHS/Color/60 min/

When editor of the Chicago Sentinel George Morgan (Golden Globe Winner Martin Sheen) sends ambitious reporter, Lauren Adrian (Golden Globe Nominee Jennifer Lopez), to Juarez, Mexico to investigate the murders, what she finds is the story of a lifetime. Eva (Maya Zapata), a young woman who was raped and left for dead in the desert, is the only woman to survive an attack. Unable to go to the police for help, she turns to a local newspaper run by Diaz Alfonso (Two-time Golden Globe Nominee Antonio Banderas), former friend and colleague of Lauren's. Hiding Eva is incredibly dangerous, but Lauren knows that publishing her story is the only way to expose the truth behind the murders. She is determined to find Eva's attackers but soon finds herself immersed in a dangerous web of corruption that extends to both sides of the border. 2008/Full Frame/Color/R/Thriller/Drama/114 minutes

How Beliefs & Values Define A Culture
PSY VT1352

What is a culture? A culture is a total way of life of a people. Individuals growing up in a culture learning aceptable ways to behave and function within that culture. Members learn how to use the natural resources found in their environment and how to adapt to the climatic and topolgraphic features of their region. They learn about the economic activities carried on by members of their cultures. They acquire knowledge, skills, and techniques that will allow them to participate in these activities. They learn about the social groups that have been formed within their culture and how to participate in these groups. They also learn what culture members value and believe and that these values and beliefs influence how people behave. As people become more interactive within and among cultures, and knowledge of the diversity of human conditions grows, it becomes increasingly more important that students know how to identify the crucial factors that define cultures. Knowledge of these factors will help them understand and appreciate cultures different from their own and hopefully facilitate their cross-cultural interactions.

The presenters have spent their lives with Shakespeare's work and relate not only to the stories of the plays themselves, but also how they came to be written, how they have been performed, and how they have survived over 400 years.

Repentance
PLS DVD0305

This last Tenghiz Abuladze film is crowning the trilogy started by the motion pictures "The Supplication" and "The Wishing Tree". In the Soviet Union, the film was put into distribution only as late at 1987, during the "glasnost" period. The film's structure is somewhat whimsical: the action develops, as it were, outside the time framework, with no specified indication to the 1930s. In the character of dictator Varlam Aravidze, the traits of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Beria are equally recognizable. Three generations of one family are paying for the sins of their fathers. In a totalitarian society, the first to perish are the artists, like Sandro Barateli and his wife. Years later, their daughter, Keti, avenges the death of her parents. Approx. 153 min./ color/DVD

Revolution '67 focuse on the explosive urban rebellion which erupted in NEwar, New Jersey, in July 1967; a tragedy caused by similar problems that sparked "race riots" across America. What's revealed are long-standing racial, economic, and political forces which generated inner city poverty and perpetuate it today. Newar residents, police, officials, and urban commentators including writer/activist Amiri Baraka, jornalist Bob Herbert, prominent historians, and 60s activist Tom Hayed, recount the vivid day-to-day details of the uprising. But they also trace those traumatic days back to decades of industrial decline, unemployment, job and housing discrimatination, federal programs favoring suburbs over cities, police impunity, political corrupition, and the costly, devisive Vietnam War. The spark igniting this firestorm of pent-up racial rage was, as is so often the case, an encounter between a black man and the police. On July 12th, 1967, two white offices stopped a black taxi drive for a minor traffic violation, beat him, and dragged him into the local precinct. A rumor spread through black neighborhoods tha the driver had died, inciting a crowd to rampage through the streets, set fires, break windows, and loot businesses. DVD/90mins/B&W

Edward Said: On Orientalism
PHL DVD0494

Edward Said's book Orientalism has been profoundly influential in a diverse range of disciplines since its publication in 1978. In this engaging and lavishly illustrated interview he talks about the context within which the book was conceived, its main themes, and how its original thesis relates to the contemporary understanding of "the Orient." Said argues that the Western (especially American) understanding of the Middle East as a place full of villains and terrorists ruled by Islamic fundamentalism produces deeply disorted image of the diversity and complexity of millions of Arab peoples. He unearths the intellectual roots of "orientalism" in the history of imperial conquest stemming back to the 18th century. Looking ahead to the 21st century, he argues that it is this legacy of "difference" and mistrust that must be overcome if conflict, discord and violence are not to be humanity's permanent future.

Blood and Oil
HIS DVD0496

The notion that oil motivates America's military engagements in the Middle East has long been dismissed as nonsense or mere conspirancy theory.

Kllare, challenges this conventional wisdom to correct the historical record. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years - rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. In the end, Blood and Oil calls for a radical re-thinking of US energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.

From Opium To Chrysanthemums
SOC VT1338

Once they were known for cultivating opium. Their stronghold was the "Golden Triangle" in the borderland of Thailand, Laos and Burma. They were the Hmong, and one of their leaders was the charismatic headman Lao-Tong. At the height of the Vietnam War, in 1969, Swedish fimmaker PeA Holmquist traveled to South East Asia to make a film on Lao-Tong and the Hmong people. From Opium To Chrysanthemums documents Holmquist's return after 30 years. With new material filmed in Thailand, Laos, and the Unite States, and incorporating scenes from the 1969 documentary, the film shows how much has changed, and what has happened to the Hmong, in Thailand and Laos, and in the United States. In Lao-Tong's town of Maetho, high in the Tahi Mountains, vast fields of chrysanthemums have replaced opium cultivation. Lao-tong is now a respected elder of the community, but unlike 30 years ago, he seems withdrawn and reclusive. Reluctantly, though, he explains why he pushed to change the once profitable opium farming into a vegetable and flower business. Lao-Tung also participates in a village divorce proceeding, during which the husband asked the elders to grant him a separation (a move that would force his wife to leave the village). Facing rejection not only by her family but also the community, and a life of loneliness and poverty, the wife proclaims that there's no place for a woman in Hmong customary law. 75 minutes

Roberts
ITM VT3001

Monty Roberts always believed there had to be a more humane way to tame horses. A native Californian, Monty worked as a rodeo and competition rider, and as a Hollywood stunt double. But even as a child, Monty sought a gentler way, one of the willing cooperation between horse and man. He suprisingly found that way while observing the behavior of horses in the wild. He discovered horses share a nonverbal language, and that he could use that same language to establish a bond with these wild and sonderful creatures. This knowledge eventually allowed him to realize his lifelong ambition, to tame a wild mustang without fear or force, only by "whispering" to its true nature. These same principles apply to human relationships, as Monty has demonstrated with his 40 foster children. Monty also used this method in his job as a consultant with some of today's biggest business corporations, such as Disney, Xerox, GM and AT&T. This compelling story of one man's dream come true is an inspiring account that will warm the hearts of everyone. Color, 48 Minutes

Deadliest Battle: Secrets of the Dead
HIS DVD0508

Germany's Invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 was the largest troop offensive in military history. And the Battle of Stalingrad is arguably the deadliest single batle the world has ever seen. The eventual Russian victory has long been lauded as a shining example of Stalin's military genius. He is said to have baited a much more powerful and technologically advanced Germany army with a carefully executed withdrawal, then caught the Nazis unprepared in viciuos city-block-by-city-block fighting that decimated the German forces. By the time the battle was over, more than 1 million lives had been lost and the course of the war had been permanently altered. But 70 years after the battle was fought, newly uncovered documents, survivor accounts, and stunning archival footage are revealing a very different picture of what took place. Deadliset Battle uncovers the evidence that describes a forced retreat by the Russians, not a tactical one, in addition to much fiercer fighting in the countryside than previously thought. And the battle not only changed the course of World War II, but established the Soviet Union as a superpower to be reckoned with in the long Cold War that lay ahead. More than a half-century later, the full impact of this horrific battle is revealed. DVD, PBS, Not Rated, Widescreen, Run TIme: Approx. 60 mins.

Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Suss
HIS DVD0509

Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious filmmakers. Millions across occupied Europe saw his films, the most infamous of which was the horrific anti-Semitic propaganda film Jew Suss--required viewing for all SS members.

Harlan was also the only Nazi-era artist to be charged with war crimes. With never-before-seen archival footage, unearthed film excerpts and new interviews, Harlan is an eye-opening examination of World War II film history. But it also shows how Harlan's descendants--especially the yougest generation--struggle with the dark myth of his artistic immorality. It's the searing story of a German family, one that is marked by reckoning, denial and liberation.

Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942 and labeled simply"Ghetto," this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto.

In this important new film, Kilbourne reviews if and how the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years. With wit and warmth, Kilbourne uses over 160 ads and commercials to critique advertising's image of women. By fostering creative and productive dialouge, she invites viewers to look at familiar images in a new way that moves and empowers them to take action. color/34min/The Media Education Foundation film/2000

Quiet Rage: The Stanford Prison Experiment
SOC DVD0437

In the summer of 1971, Philip Zimbardo, Craig Haney and Curtis Banks carried out a psychological experiment to test a simple question: What happens when you put good people in an evil place- does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph? To explore this question, college student volunteers were pretested and randomly assigned to play the role of prisoner or guard in a simulated prison at Stanford University. Although the students were mentally healthy and knew they were taking part in an experiment, some guards soon became sadistic and the prisoners showed signs of acute stress and depression. After only six days, the planned two week study spun out of control and had to be ended to prevent further abuse of the prisoners. This dramatic demonstration of the power of social situations is relevant to many institutional settings, such as the Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq. This DVD contains a 50 minute documentary film as well as a bonus 70 image slide show of archival photographs from the study. The film, Quiet Rage, has been shown in thousands of classrooms around the world and is sure to stimulate critical thinking and discussion. Narrated by Philip Zimbardo, the documentary uses orginal footage, flashbacks, post-experiment interviews with the prisoners and guards, and comparisons with real-life prisons.

Playing Unfair: The Media Image of the Female Athlete
WMS DVD0198

It has been 30 years since Title IX legislation granted women equal playing time, but the male-dominated world of sports journalism has yet to catch up with the law. Coverage of women's sports lags far behind men's, and focuses on female athletes' femininity and sexuality over their achievements on the court and field. While female athleticism challenges gender norms, women athletes continue to be depicted in traditional roles that reaffirm their femininity -- as wives and mothers or sex objects. By comparison, male athletes are framed according to heroic masculine ideals that honor courage, strength, and endurance. Playing Unfair is the first video to critically examine the post-Title IX media landscape in terms of the representation of female athletes. Sports media scholars Mary Jo Kane (University of Minnesota), Pat Griffin (University of Massachusetts), and Michael Messner (University of Southern California) look at the persistence of heterosexism and homophobia in perpetuating gender stereotypes. They argue for new media images which fairly and accurately depict the strength and competence of female athletes. Using numerous media examples, Playing Unfair is sue to stimulate debate among women and men, athletes and non-athletes about the meaning of these images in a world transformed by the presence of women in sport. 30 minutes (35 minutes additional footage)

Millennium Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World: Mistaken Identity and An Ecology of the Mind
SOC VT1422E

MISTAKEN IDENTITY Who are you? Where does your individual identity begin and end? While Western socities stirve to answer these questions throguh a biological view-conception, birth, adolescence, maturity, and death- tribal cultures define identity by the myths and rituals of their society, by th epoeple who rear them, and by an organic continuum to which they blong. In "Mistaken Identity," explore these views of life and death through scenes taken from the family life of an abortion counsellor in Toronto, a boy's initiation into manhood in a Brazilian Xavante tribe, a high school girl's attempted suicide, and an Indonesian Subansese tribesman's relationship to his dead relatives. 60 min AN ECOLOGY OF MIND All societies survive by manipulating nature. But while tribal cultures seek harmony with nature, Western societies try to control it, often with devastating consequences. In "An Ecology Mind," learn how the Makuna of Columbia pass their sophisticated ecological awareness from generation to generation through complex myths and rituals. And understand how tribal peoples' views contrast with teh evolutionary ideas handed down to the modern world from the Bible and from nineteenth century Darwinian theory. Then meet a gardener who exemplifies the new attitudes Western cultures will need to ensure humanity's survival on the Earth. 60 min

Great Gathering
PHL DVD0288

This remarkable documentary provides a rare and fascinating study of the history, meaning, and diverse participants of the Maha Kumbha Mela, a spectacular Hindu sacred festival held every twelve years on the banks of the Ganges in India. The Kumbha Mela is the largest festive gathering of humanity on earth. It rotates between four different host cities. In 2001 it is estimated that 50 million people gathered for this unique event. By bathing in the Ganges during the Kumbha Mela it is believed that one will be absolved of all past-life Karma and freed from the vicious cycle of birth and death. The Kumbha Mela of 2001 was a very auspicious occasion and was held in Allahabad. Pilgrims came by plane, train, car, and foot from every corner of India as from around the world. Virtually every nationality and religion on earth was represented, and participants rightly felt that the spiritual energy of the world was focused on this momentous celebration. The film includes commentary by a diverse selection of participants and pilgrims, spectacular scenes of the bathing ceremonies, and many telling and intimate details of the spiritual activities that abounded. Among the highlights are scenes of the Naga Babas, a nakedly-clad sect of holy men, who left their caves in the Himalayas to bathe in the Ganges and perform their spiritual duties. "The Great Gathering" will stimulate thought and discussion in a wide range of courses in Asian and Indian studies, cultural anthropology, and comparative religion.

Spirit of Crazy Horse
SOC VT1481

"The heart of everything that is." These are the words which the Sioux Indians use to describe their ancestral homeland, the Black Hills of South Dakota. Those million acres form the spiritual core of the Sioux culture, and it's a land they have struggled to reclaim for a century. "The Spirit of Crazy Horse" is an eye-opening vision of their quest, which has shaped the lives and destiny of the Sioux for six generations. It is a tale recounted by Milo Yellow Hair, a fullblood Oglala Sioux, whose great-grandfather fought General Custer at the Little Big Horn. While the store echoes with famous names like Wounded Knee-the last major Indian slaughter a century ago - this is more than a tale of long lost wars. "The Spirit of Crazy Horse" reveals the modern Sioux struggle to regain their heritage, and how places like Wounded Knee became sites for a fight that continues still. The program carries us through the militant confrontations of the 1960's and 70's, the explosive results of 100 years of confinement on Indian reservations. "The Spirit of Crazy Horse" takes us past the cliches about the problems that plague life on the reservation, and puts the issues in a meaningful context of Indian culture. By investigating the simmering conflict of recent decades, "The Spirit of Crazy Horse" also offers a clear prospective on the crucial choices that lie ahead. For while the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Black Hills were stolen from the Sioux, the fight for the return of the land rages on. In the shadow of Mount Rushmore, the Sioux vision of their sacred homeland still thrives, the "The Spirit of Crazy Horse" is a moving portrait of those hopes and aspirations. In the face of hard choices, the descendents of the famous warrior Crazy Horse carry his spirit on. Color / 60 Min.

Korean War
WAR VT0481C

Two Days in October
WMS DVD0201

Some stayed. Some went. All fought. In October 1967, history turned a corner. In a jungle in Vietnam, a Viet Cong ambush nearly wiped out an American battalion, prompting some in power to question whether the war might be unwinnable. On a campus in Wisconsin, a student protest against the war spiraled out of control, making the first time that a campus anti-war demonstration had turned violent. Based on the book "The Marched into Sunlight" by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Maraniss, this moving AMIERCAN EXPERIENCE film examines the critical events that took place in the turbulent fall of 1967. The emotionally wrenching parallel stores are told by the people whose lives were irrevocably changed by what happened -- American and Viet Cong soldiers, relatives of men killed in battle, protesting students, police officers, and university faculty and administrators. Collectively, their words speak to the heartbreak caused by the war and the stark division it wrought on the home front.

Richard Dreyfuss (Elliot) and Marsha Manson (Paula) say hello to comedy zingy repartee and bitter-to-best romance in The Goodbye Girl, a lustrous charmer featuring Dreyfuss; Academy Award winning Best Actor performance. Neil Simon's Oscar-nominated screenplay deftly combines battle-of-the-sexes appeal with an off-broadway subplot whose scenes "are the funniest since Mel Brooks staged Springtime for Hitler (in The Producers)" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). This sunny salute to a love that walks in out of the rain also nabbed 1977 Oscar nominations for Best Picture Actress (Manson) and Supporting Actress (Quinn Cummings as Paula's wise-beyond-her-years daughter).

Narrated by Omar Sharif, Umm Kulthum, A Voice Like Egypt takes viewers into her home village and to the streets and cafes of Cairo where she lives and worked. Featuring concert footage, film clips and interviews with the famed singer's friends and colleagues, Goldman's documentary places the life and career of Umm Kulthum in the context of the epic story of 20th Century Egypt.

Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk
SOC DVD0186

American higher education is, in many ways, "declining by degrees." Our national commitment to provide every qualified student, regardless of economic status, an opportunity to go to college has weakened. In many college classrooms, an unspoken "understanding" allows as many as 20% of students to coast their way to a diploma without really learning much at all. This decline is occurring at the same time other countries are investing heavily in higher education, recognizing its critical role in the future. It's a far more serious situation than the American public realizes, but not irreversible. Veteran correspondent John Merrow takes viewers behind the scenes of American higher education to experience college through the eyes of students, professors, and college administrators. Set on four different college campuses across the country- a private liberal arts college, a major state university, a regional public university, and a community college - Declining by Degrees examines both the promise and the peril in higher education today.

Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain
PHL DVD0639

A thousand years ago in the sun washed lands of Southern Spain, Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together and thrived. Their cultures and beliefs intertwined and the knowledge of the ancients was gathered and reborn. Here were the very seeds of the Renaissance. But this world too quickly vanished. Greed, fear, and intolerance swept it away. Puritanical judgments and absolutism snuffed out the light of learning. Within a few centuries, the fragile union of these people dissipated like smoke. This time of tolerance was lost forever. What can we learn from this time? Must history repeat itself? Color/ 2007/ Approx 116 min
