FOR & ABOUT KIDS Grades K to 6<br />
THINK ABOUT OTHERS: What It Means to be Considerate<br />
One of the most important social skills children need to learn is how to behave in ways that help them forge connections to<br />
others. To be at ease among others, and to give and receive emotional support, requires the ability to imagine oneself in<br />
someone else's place. This program defines the word "considerate" as caring about how another person feels.<br />
Using age-appropriate scenarios to make and reinforce its points and a lively host to move the stories along, this program<br />
examines positive ways to show consideration, such as treating others the way they would like to be treated and being<br />
helpful, even without being asked. It demonstrates how being polite and helpful to others not only can help them get along<br />
better with others but also make them feel better about themselves. After viewing this program, students will recognize the<br />
difference between being considerate and inconsiderate; understand why it's important for them to treat others as they<br />
would like to be treated; and learn that the best way to understand another's feelings is to think about how they might feel<br />
in the same situation. #11449/1945 14 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $119.95 Grades K to 2<br />
SHARE YOUR FEELINGS, USE YOUR WORDS<br />
Children's feelings are very real, but all too often they find themselves unable to put<br />
these feelings into words. With the help of an appealing puppet host, engaging<br />
scenarios, and catchy song lyrics, this program encourages the youngest students to<br />
speak out about how they feel and what they want. After viewing this program<br />
students will understand the importance of telling how they feel, realize that putting<br />
their feelings into words is the best way to be heard and recognize that sharing<br />
feelings helps everyone get along better. #11927/1945 15 minutes 2008<br />
*Includes Guide $119.95 Grades K to 2<br />
IT'S ELEMENTARY and IT'S STILL ELEMENTARY:<br />
Talking About Gay Issues in School<br />
*Winner of numerous awards<br />
IT'S ELEMENTARY was the first video of its kind to address anti-gay prejudice by<br />
providing adults with practical lessons on how to talk with kids about gay people. Hailed as "a model of intelligent directing",<br />
it shows that children are eager and able to wrestle with stereotypes and absorb new facts about what it means to be gay or<br />
lesbian. Shot in six public and private schools, the program models excellent teaching about family diversity, name-calling,<br />
stereotypes, community building and more. Recommended for use by: K-12 teachers and youth service providers; religious<br />
communities; and, corporate diversity awareness programs. The DVD includes the 78 minute feature, the 38-minute training<br />
version, and the 51 minute newly released retrospective documentary IT'S STILL ELEMENTARY. Also includes a comprehensive<br />
Guide K-8 Curriculum. #11625/0788 Two programs on one DVD 2007 $149.95 *CC<br />
THE PEACEFUL SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM<br />
This is a whole-school program that's designed to decrease inappropriate behavior on buses while creating a climate of<br />
respect and cooperation. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students take part in school bus route meetings. At these<br />
meetings the students: take part in team-building exercises; develop mentoring relationships by pairing older students with<br />
younger students on the bus; talk about bullying - and what behavior is and is not acceptable; get to personally know their<br />
driver, who is present at the meetings. Although first developed and implemented in an elementary school setting, the<br />
program is easily adapted for use with middle school and even high-school students, who can serve as mentors, role models,<br />
and teachers of younger students.<br />
OUTCOMES - Peaceful School Bus Program was created in the real-world setting of Lynnwood Elementary School in upstate<br />
New York. In the year before the program was implemented, school bus drivers reported 58 incidents of inappropriate<br />
behavior. The program has been in place for 7 years. In each of the past 4 years, the average yearly total of bus incident<br />
referrals has been nine.<br />
HOW IT WORKS - There is very little financial cost to implementing this program. All materials are included in the 128-page<br />
Softcover guide. The DVD gives a program overview. And the CD-ROM provides numerous resources including: program<br />
posters; bus decals; activity handouts; a parent letter (in English and Spanish); a bus route leader-training outline; an<br />
implementation checklist. It is recommended that each committee member and bus route group leader have one copy of the<br />
guide. #12443/0795 15 minutes 2008 $129.95 Grades K to 12<br />
SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS: The Effects of Bullying *AURORA GOLD Winner<br />
As we all know, bullying is an ever-growing problem in our schools. In this revealing and excellent program, meet children<br />
who bully and the parents and teachers working to keep schools safe from the viciousness of bullies. Examines some of the<br />
faces of bullying and how it affects both the victims and the bullies themselves. #12385/0145 19 minutes 2003 $179.95 *CC<br />
ALL ABOUT FRIENDS<br />
Friends are important to children, but what makes a good friend? Three age-appropriate scenarios show the youngest<br />
students that a friend is someone who makes you feel good about yourself, won't talk you into doing something you know is<br />
wrong, and doesn't make it hard for you to have friends other than them.<br />

FOR & ABOUT KIDS Grades 3 to 5<br />
STAYING SAFE ON THE INTERNET<br />
By providing a wealth of opportunities for learning and fun, computers now play an important role in many children's lives.<br />
But because the Internet also has a potential for danger, this program is designed to teach students rules for staying safe<br />
whenever they go online. Introduced by a funny, computer-savvy host named "Chip", the three scenarios alert viewers to<br />
online dangers, and teach the appropriate safety rule to follow: Don't open messages from anyone you don't personally know.<br />
Don't give out personal information to anyone. Never agree to meet with strangers you meet online. In summing up, "Chip"<br />
explains that if something online makes you at all uncomfortable, be sure to ask for help from a grown-up you trust. After<br />
viewing this program, students will recognize that chatting online has certain dangers, learn rules for staying safe online and<br />
know where to turn to for help if necessary. #11926/1945 15 minutes 2008 *Includes Guide $119.95 *CC<br />
IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU: Dealing with Abuse<br />
This program talks to upper elementary-aged children about a difficult subject - abuse. Sensitive, age-appropriate scenarios<br />
explore three types of abuse: physical, verbal and sexual as seen though the eyes of children. Viewers learn that victims of<br />
abuse are NOT responsible for causing it. They MUST tell an adult they trust what is happening - and continue on telling until<br />
someone takes action to stop it. Whether it's a father who gets angry and physically hurts a child, a grown-up who uses<br />
words to continually make a youngster feel worthless or a person who touches the private parts of a child's body, this<br />
program will encourage and empower youngsters who are the victims of abuse to speak up and get help!<br />
#10767/1945 20 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $119.95<br />
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES<br />
When children make mistakes, they often feel bad.<br />
Distinguishing between silly mistakes, mistakes that take<br />
time to fix, and mistakes that can't be fixed, this musicfilled<br />
program explains that mistakes are a part of life.<br />
What counts, it tells kids, is what we do about our<br />
mistakes, because making mistakes is how we learn.<br />
#11451/1945 16 minutes *Includes Guide 2007 $119.95<br />
FOLLOWING THE RULES: Student Workshop<br />
Whenever children encounter a rule that keeps them from<br />
doing what they want to do, they typically ask, "Why do<br />
we have rules anyway?" This workshop helps to develop<br />
respect for rules by showing that rules have reasons. By<br />
seeing the reason for a rule, kids will understand why<br />
there are limits, what the limits are, and know how they<br />
are expected to behave. #11446/1945 13 minutes 2007<br />

In the middle school years, young teens are faced with making increasingly serious decisions that may involve their<br />
relationships with friends, the use of alcohol and drugs, and ethical choices about such things as cheating, lying, and breaking<br />
rules. This program is designed to present good decision-making skills to young adolescents in a way that challenges students<br />
to think about how they make important choices, what new skills they can actively use when making choices, and how to<br />
evaluate a decision once it's been made. An on-camera quiz at the beginning of the program sets the stage for students to<br />
assess their own decision-making abilities as they watch the program unfold. True-to-life vignettes present believable<br />
scenarios in which teens can see how these skills can be used with positive results.<br />

ABUSE: If It Happens to You<br />
This program is designed to help young teens understand that abuse, of all types, is more common than they think and if it<br />
happens to them, they need to tell a trusted adult. It examines the different types of abuse that can occur: physical,<br />
emotional, and sexual, and helps young teens understand that the victim is never at fault and did not cause or deserve the<br />
abuse. One of the biggest reasons victims don't speak out is because they think no one will believe them. This program<br />
assures young people that while this can happen in some cases, the victim must continue to speak out until someone listens<br />
and takes what they say seriously. Use this program to educate your students and help them come forward if they have been<br />
abused. #11437/1945 24 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95<br />

LET'S GET REAL! Taunting and Bullying<br />
Name-calling and bullying are at epidemic proportions among youth across the country, and are often the root causes of<br />
violence in schools. This program gives young people the chance to tell their stories in their own words - and the results are<br />
heartbreaking, shocking, inspiring and poignant. Unlike the vast majority of videos made for schools about the issue, this<br />
program doesn't sugarcoat the truth or feature adults lecturing kids about what to do when "bad" kids pick on them. Also<br />
examines a variety of issues that lead to taunting and bullying, including racial differences, perceived sexual orientation,<br />
learning disabilities, religious differences, sexual harassment and others. The film not only gives a voice to targeted kids, but<br />
also to kids who do the bullying to find out why they lash out at their peers and how it makes them feel. The most heartening<br />
part includes stories of kids who have mustered the courage to stand up for themselves or a classmate. Establishes an<br />
awareness about students’ own roles in society and what they can do to prevent prejudice and promote understanding. *The<br />
accompanying 130-page curriculum guide features valuable lesson plans, discussion starters, classroom activities and<br />
handouts for teachers to use in conjunction with the film. The DVD special features chapter-by-chapter version of the film<br />
corresponding to the curriculum guide. #11623/0788 35 minutes 2004 $129.95 *CC<br />

involved in binge drinking and what are the effects and consequences of this behavior are all questions answered in this<br />
program. Geoff Munro, the Director of the Australian Drug Foundation's Community Alcohol Action Network describes the<br />

DRUG ABUSE BEYOND MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL: Crossing the Thin Line<br />
Today's teens are more likely to abuse prescription and over the counter medications than many other illegal drugs such as<br />
marijuana. This is often referred to as "pharming." Abuse of these drugs to get "high" is now an entrenched behavior among<br />
teens. Teens are now exposed to powerful mind altering drugs, often impure at an alarming level. Damaging steroid use is<br />
often encouraged by role models in society. With the use of these drugs, teens are damaging their health, experiencing date<br />
rape, black outs, becoming unconscious and in some cases, losing their lives. Hear from real teens as they discuss their<br />
exposure and knowledge of pharmacological drugs and dangerous chemical substances. *Part of the REAL LIFE TEENS SERIES II<br />

DRUGS: The Straight Facts<br />
The only antidote to the flashy appeal of drugs is honest information. Give your<br />
students the straight facts on some of the most widely abused substances with this five-program series.<br />
ALCOHOL - This program makes clear the many myths associated with alcohol and explores the history of alcohol, a<br />
substance first used as a medicine; the effects of alcohol on the body and the short - and long-term health impacts; and<br />
teenage attitudes toward alcohol and trends such as binge drinking. Also examines the prevalence of alcohol in our culture<br />
and discusses alcoholism - how to identify it and how to treat it.<br />
MARIJUANA - Marijuana has the distinction of being our most widely used illegal drug. This program traces the history of<br />
marijuana and goes on to explain some of the many uses of the hemp plant; the effects of THC - the primary psychoactive<br />
chemical in marijuana, sinsemilla, hashish, and hash oil - on the body; the short- and long-term health implications of<br />
marijuana abuse; and teenage attitudes toward marijuana. Also investigates the concept of psychological dependency and<br />
considers whether marijuana is a gateway drug.<br />
COCAINE AND CRACK - The pleasure of a cocaine high doesn't last long, but the damage cocaine causes can last a lifetime.<br />
This program explores the history of cocaine; the effects of cocaine and crack on the body and the short- and long-term<br />
health impacts; and teenage attitudes toward cocaine and crack. Also delves into the illicit cocaine trade and the cartels<br />
that control it, as well as addiction to cocaine - both physical and psychological.<br />
NARCOTICS: Heroin, Opium, Codeine, and Morphine - Strictly speaking, the term "narcotic" refers to opium, opium<br />
derivatives, and their synthetic substitutes. This program delves into the history of narcotics such as heroin, opium, codeine,<br />
and morphine; the effects of narcotics on the body and the short- and long-term health impacts; and teenage attitudes<br />
toward narcotics. In addition, the video considers legalization and regulatory issues involving narcotics, as well as physical<br />
and psychological addiction to these potent drugs.<br />
INHALANTS - Since chemicals in more than 1,400 products can be sniffed or huffed for their psychoactive and mind-altering<br />
effects, it's not surprising that inhalants are the most frequently abused substances. This program explores the history of<br />
inhalant abuse; the effects of inhalants on the body and the short- and long-term health impacts; and teenage attitudes<br />
toward inhalants. The major classes of commonly abused inhalants and treatment and prevention measures are described in<br />
the video as well.<br />

over and over again among alcoholics and drug abusers - often involving crime and social isolation. In addition to their pain<br />
and regret, the participants also discuss the most daunting challenge of all: the ongoing process of recovery.<br />

DRUNK AND DANGEROUS PACKAGE<br />
This teaching tool will give any alcohol education program an added dimension, allowing the instructor to deliver a powerful<br />
message quickly and clearly. Drinking and driving is a deadly combination - a point graphically demonstrated, especially to<br />
young people, using The Drunk and Dangerous Glasses (as in spectacles or eyeglasses). Because the glasses' simulation of<br />
drunkenness is so real and intense, wearers can't help but realize that alcohol really does make driving dangerous. Glasses do<br />
not represent a specific blood alcohol concentration. The package also includes The Drunk and Dangerous Remote Control<br />
Car. This colorful, radio-controlled, 11" long car is perfect for classroom demonstrations. Participants can try to steer the car<br />
through an improvised driving course after setting up the included champagne glass pylons. Students will love this game, and<br />
it will be a lesson they won't forget. The Drunk and Dangerous Beverage Set - Each plastic glass has a tiny "smashed" car<br />
embedded in its plastic simulated liquid. Although they make their point without words, these three models are excellent<br />
discussion starters. The glasses are also available for purchase separately. #12029/0820 Package $349.95 Grades 7 to Adult<br />
LEGAL BUT DANGEROUS: OTC and RX Drugs<br />
In a culture where the belief persists that every problem can be solved with a pill, teens naively think that if a medication<br />
could be harmful, it wouldn't be available. In this program, real teens talk about problems they've had using OTC drugs they<br />
thought were harmless. Others discuss how they got in trouble using drugs prescribed for someone else. Experts explore why<br />
teens will experiment with pills, which are often easier for them to get than alcohol or marijuana. This program also<br />
addresses the issue of substances sold in health food stores that are unregulated, and sometimes harmful. No quality-control<br />
procedures exist for these products that have been shown to cause serious harm, and in some cases, death. Experts explain<br />
how drugs affect the body and how everyone's reaction to a drug is unique. This program also looks at how the Internet is<br />
fueling teens' illegal use of prescription drugs. #11866/1945 20 minutes 2008 Includes Guide $149.95 *CC<br />
HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL<br />
This program provides a unique glimpse into the world of peer pressure, parties and alcohol and drug use in high school.<br />
Viewers will hear from youth who made the choice to use drugs and alcohol and then found themselves forever changed.<br />
These young people speak candidly about what happened and where it took them. Others talk about what they like to do to<br />
have fun and what matters to them. The goal of "High School Confidential" is to reduce substance misuse and to improve<br />
overall health through exploration of effective ways of managing stress instead of trying to "cope with dope" and how youth<br />
can get a rush of excitement using activities instead of substances. "This is a drug and alcohol education/prevention video<br />
with a difference," says Kevin Letourneau, Program Manager of PACS Counselling Programs. It faces the fact that alcohol and<br />
drugs are readily available in most high schools. Teens discuss a number of substances including tobacco, marijuana, ecstasy,<br />
cocaine and crystal meth. Risks associated with going to parties and drinking are highlighted.<br />

There's no question that serious depression, selfmutilation,<br />
suicide attempts and deaths are increasing<br />

DEEP DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE<br />
Teen suicide is a complex event often arising out of deep<br />
depression where a teen develops feelings that they are<br />
unwanted, misunderstood, angry, ashamed, abused,<br />
unloved or victimized. Teens commit suicide because they<br />
may be feeling guilty about disappointing family, friends<br />
or they feel an overwhelming sense that they are too<br />
much of a burden on others. Deep depression can affect<br />
teens where they believe that suicide is the only solution.<br />
If a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected.<br />
Sometimes even those who barely know the teen develop<br />
feelings of guilt, confusion and the sense they could have<br />
done something themselves to prevent the suicide. Hear<br />
from real teens as they discuss their feelings about severe<br />
depression and suicide. *Part of the REAL LIFE TEENS<br />

REAL LIFE TEENS SERIES II<br />
This series is an unbiased and realistic look from the perspective of teens, at the wide variety of issues teens face today<br />
featuring young teenagers (not actors) telling their real stories, in their own words. The five-part series discusses significant<br />
issues in adolescent society and cuts through many barriers with its honest and relevant advice and information.<br />
SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY - Today's often inadequate teaching of sexual knowledge in a generally sex-obsessed media driven<br />
society is one of the major reasons teens engage in sexual activity without fully understanding the consequences and the<br />
impact of poor decision making where sexual matters are concerned. Teens are too often motivated by curiosity and the<br />
pressure to perform sexually as expressed by friends, love and the media rather than a healthy conscious desire and<br />
understanding of their sexual behaviors. Teens need to learn how to manage their sexual feelings responsibly and be able to<br />
select a partner who will respect them and avoid unwanted sexual outcomes. Hear from real teens as they discuss how they<br />
feel about sexual responsibility.<br />
DRUG ABUSE BEYOND MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL: Crossing the Thin Line<br />
Today's teens are more likely to abuse prescription and over the counter medications than many other illegal drugs such as<br />
marijuana. This is often referred to as "pharming." Abuse of these drugs to get "high" is now an entrenched behavior among<br />
Teens. Teens are now exposed to powerful mind altering drugs, often impure at an alarming level. Damaging steroid use is<br />
often encouraged by role models in society. With the use of these drugs, Teens are damaging their health, experiencing date<br />
rape, black outs, becoming unconscious and in some cases, losing their lives. Hear from real teens as they discuss their<br />
exposure and knowledge of pharmacological drugs and dangerous chemical substances.<br />
CYBERBULLYING - Cyberbulling is any form of harassment that occurs via the Internet. Vicious forum posts, name calling in<br />
chat rooms, posting fake profiles on web sites and mean or cruel email messages are all examples of bullying. While<br />
Cyberbullying mainly takes place on line, other high tech methods like threatening text messages and taunting voicemail also<br />
fall under this category. Hear from real teens as they discuss their views on Cyberbullying.<br />
DEEP DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE - Teen suicide is a complex event often arising out of deep depression where a Teen<br />
develops feelings that they are unwanted, misunderstood, angry, ashamed, abused, unloved or victimized. Teens commit<br />
suicide because they may be feeling guilty about disappointing family, friends or they feel an overwhelming sense that they<br />
are too much of a burden on others. Deep Depression can affect Teens where they believe that suicide is the only solution. If<br />
a Teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Sometimes even those who barely know the Teen develop feelings of guilt,<br />
confusion and the sense they could have done something themselves to prevent the suicide. Hear from real teens as they<br />
discuss their feelings about severe depression and suicide.<br />
OBESITY AND HEALTH - In our looks-obsessed society, lots of people think that being overweight is simply an appearance<br />
issue. Obesity issues go way beyond the ones we usually hear about, like diabetes and heart disease. Being overweight can<br />
also affect a person's joints, breathing, sleep, mood and energy levels. Being overweight can impact a person's entire quality<br />
of life. Hear from real teens as they discuss their self image, weight, obesity and health.<br />

bad decisions, teens can grow into the kind of people they want to be: those who not only know what is right, but who do the<br />
right thing. #11034/1945 29 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95<br />

the victim from friends and family in order to maintain<br />
complete control. Teens are advised how to get help, and<br />

DATE RAPE: A Violation of Trust<br />
To the average student, the definitions of date rape and sexual assault are notoriously unclear. Use this program to eliminate<br />
the confusion so young adults understand exactly what these things are - and the attitudes and biases that typically<br />
accompany them - before anyone gets hurt. The video firmly reinforces the concepts that rape has its roots in hate crime;<br />
date rape is just as wrong as rape by a stranger; a victim is never "asking for it", no matter how the person dresses; and no<br />
one ever "deserves it". The video also underscores the rules of the dating game: a date is not an invitation for sex; No means<br />
No; and the inability to give consent doesn't mean Yes. Interviews with rape survivors and mental health professionals shed<br />
additional light on the trauma caused by rape, the process of post-rape emotional recovery, and the importance of post-rape<br />
support by family and friends. Date rape drugs are given special attention, and tips on safer dating are provided.<br />

SEXUAL HARASSMENT: What You Can Do<br />
It is estimated that four out of five teenagers experience sexual harassment at school. Many harassers see their behavior as<br />
nothing more than harmless teasing. Often, victims of sexual harassment feel powerless and don't know what they can do to<br />
protect themselves. Many bystanders who watch silently or laugh, don't understand the part they play in perpetuating this<br />
behavior and the responsibility they have to stop it. Under the direction of experts in the field, a group teens including those<br />
who have experienced sexual harassment, discuss the reality of life in high school today: how to tell the difference between<br />
unwanted attention and flirting, the influence of the media, what victims and bystanders can do, and the importance of<br />
reporting sexual harassment when it happens. #11033/1945 20 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95<br />

relatively few side effects. This idea may sound<br />
comforting, but many researchers have found that it's<br />
simply not reality. Many children feel the effects for years<br />

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Portrait of Abuse Series<br />
*2008 FREDDIE Award Winner (The FREDDIE, also known as "the Oscar for healthcare<br />
media", is awarded by the prestigious International Health & Medical Media group)<br />
A powerful and compelling series in three parts that not only raises our social awareness<br />
of the effects and cycles of domestic violence, but digs into the psyche of both the<br />
victim and aggressor to better understand how a new outcome can be realized. Using<br />
interviews with actual battered women and abusers, the programs offer helpful and<br />
practical advice from survivors, healthcare personnel, shelter advocates, social workers,<br />
and prosecutors.<br />
PART ONE - The series begins with an overview of the incidence and prevalence of domestic violence. Also introduces the<br />
views to the women who were abused either physically, psychologically, emotionally, and/or sexually as they tell their<br />
stories. It concludes with a list of screening tips for professionals to help them identify, interview, and provide interventions<br />
for victims of domestic violence. 15 minutes<br />
PART TWO - This program begins exploring the patriarchal idea that man is the ruler in the home and women are merely his<br />
possession. Various film clips, ranging from Citizen Kane to Titanic are used to illustrate how this concept has been<br />
perpetuated in the media. In addition, healthcare professionals describe the characteristics of abusive men, and one man,<br />
who identifies himself as a former perpetrator, speaks about his aggressive actions toward his wife and how intervention<br />
helped him change his behaviors and restore his relationship. 15 minutes<br />
PART THREE - The final program in this series is a dramatization of a battered woman who is brought into the emergency<br />
department for care by her abusive husband. In this vignette, identification of a victim, interviewing her in a private place,<br />
notification of authorities, and providing her with information about help available to her are explored. At the end of this<br />

CAUGHT IN THE WEB: Hunting the Predators<br />
In this documentary we see how the Internet fuelled an explosion of child abuse, how police are racing to learn new CSI-type<br />
techniques to find the children displayed in abuse images that are flooding the web, and how young people can be<br />
empowered so that they can turn the tables on the predators and reclaim the Internet as a safe global neighborhood for all.<br />
With testimony from victims, leading world psychologists and top police commanders, this program looks at the crucial<br />
challenges of a new face of crime in the 21st century. For the first time, cameras go behind the scenes as police in Europe,<br />
the United States, and Canada join forces to infiltrate an international pedophile ring on the Internet. From behind prison<br />
walls, we hear from the child sex offender who first tipped off the police. Inside the high-tech police centres in London,<br />
Washington and Toronto, we follow the undercover operatives as they track down the predators and rescue more than 50<br />
children. #11922/0973 49 minutes 2007 $149.95 *Canadian Production<br />

child. #12396/0145 28 minutes 2004 $179.95 *CC<br />
FALLEN FEATHER: Canada's Indian Residential Schools<br />
"It is important for us to be reminded that the Residential Schools were all about the eradication of Indianess in the country.<br />
They were designed to do away with the Indian fact in the country. And to mould us into something that obviously we could<br />
never be." National Chief Phil Fontaine<br />
The Fallen Feather provides an in-depth critical analysis of the driving forces behind the creation of Canadian Indian<br />
Residential Schools. Using historical source documents, survivors' personal testimonies, and detailed analysis from<br />
community leaders, the film explores in detail the Federal Government's primary motivation in the creation of these Schools.<br />
While examining the influences of Indian wars, Sir John A Macdonald's National Policy, Land Claims issues, the film details<br />
how all of these events and visions contributed to the development of these Schools. The film argues that the lasting effects<br />
that First Nations in Canada suffer today can be traced back directly to their experiences within these schools. Finally, we as<br />
Canadians are all challenged to re-examine our shared history.<br />

GENERATION NOW<br />
Demonstrates how parental emotional neglect, not unlike physical abuse, can have life-long repercussions when experienced<br />
by children of any age, socioeconomic, or cultural/ethnic backgrounds. But what constitutes emotional child abuse?<br />
Viewers learn that this neglect can take many forms: parent absenteeism; demonstrations of apathy or hostility towards the<br />
individual child, the family or even the community in general; no verbal or physical demonstrations of affection like hugs,<br />
kisses, compliments and encouragement; constant badgering and criticism. When children do not feel loved, they develop<br />
low self-esteem which leads to future unhealthy coping mechanisms such as self-harm, substance abuse, or delinquency.<br />

HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA<br />
and TRAUMA AND THE BODY: A Psychodramatic Approach<br />
In these extremely powerful live group sessions, master clinician and psychodramatist Tian Dayton works with group<br />
participants to confront childhood abuse, and work through trauma that they are carrying in their bodies. Dayton addresses<br />
these delicate issues with directness and great care, employing innovative action-oriented techniques that you can use in<br />
your work with clients, whether you are trained in psychodrama or not.<br />
HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA<br />
Psychodrama recreates powerful relational dynamics from<br />
the past to bring about cathartic change in the present.<br />
Trauma from child abuse remains trapped inside us and<br />
continues to threaten our feelings of safety and wellbeing<br />
through adulthood. Psychodrama allows us to safely<br />
reinhabit the body at the point of past abuse and make<br />
sense of the experience from an adult perspective. In this<br />
video, Bob fears that he is passing on the legacy of abuse<br />
from his stepfather to his four-year-old granddaughter. He<br />
acts out scenes with his mother, stepfather and<br />
granddaughter, playing both himself and reversing roles.<br />
In so doing, Tian helps Bob release hidden emotions, say<br />
the things he never got to as a child, and create new<br />
meaning around his past and current relationships.<br />
From watching this video, you'll be able to:<br />
*Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques<br />
with clients who have suffered trauma from childhood<br />
abuse.<br />
*Create psychodrama warm-up exercises, action scenes,<br />
and group sharing discussions<br />
*Adapt Tian Dayton's unique approach to working with<br />
childhood abuse to your own therapy work with clients.<br />

TRAUMA AND THE BODY: A Psychodramatic Approach<br />
The body remembers the trauma that the mind does not.<br />
Psychodrama provides a space for the body to speak, for<br />
somatic memory to become conscious, and for the mind<br />
to connect and process what the body is experiencing. In<br />
this video, Travis speaks to his wounded heart and works<br />
through his fear of dying; Sheila speaks to her mother who<br />
committed suicide and releases anger that was locked up<br />
for many years; and Amal speaks to the birth mother she<br />
never met, confronting the belief that she was never<br />
loved or wanted. Dayton highlights the emotion that<br />
emerges from these participants' bodies, and helps give<br />
voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that<br />
an integration between mind and body can occur.<br />
From watching this video, you'll be able to:<br />
*Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques<br />

skills are developed. Understand the milestones children achieve at this age by observing toddlers in learning centers and at<br />
home. Hear from the experts about nutrition, sleep, toilet training, and developmental differences among toddlers.<br />

retain what a child learns. Explore theories of cognitive development and see the process toddlers go through as they learn<br />
language. Observe toddlers as they engage in activities that foster memory and the retrieval of information.<br />

anger a friend, the next they comfort the same child. Learn about the theory of the mind and how toddlers come to<br />
understand how their actions can affect others. Examine how gender and temperament play a role in development. Observe<br />

brings viewers into the lives of a group of toddlers and their families. Joys,<br />
traumas, and challenges that the children face at age one and age three create a<br />
set of highly informative case studies - shedding light on the impact of marital<br />
stress, obesity, aggression, economic hardship, and the fascinating interplay of<br />

study in child development. Highlighting the issue of childhood obesity, the program asks: Why are a rising number of<br />
children overweight and how does parenting make a difference? 56 minutes<br />

hostility, resentment, and impulsive behavior. This program delivers a progress report on five toddlers - the public face of a<br />
much larger longitudinal study - who must now learn to manage their own feelings and actions. 57 minutes<br />

caregiver responses during this time of significant change can dramatically affect a child's physical, cognitive, social, and<br />
emotional growth, both immediately and for the future. At this stage, children grow physically, gain body awareness, and<br />
form lifelong habits that affect their health and well-being. At the same time, their minds expand in knowledge and<br />
understanding, as thinking processes become more logical and organized. The way they view themselves, and the manner in<br />
which they interact with family and friends, evolves as children develop self-concepts and self-esteem. This program provides<br />
an informative, clear and compelling examination of the middle-childhood stage of development and a detailed overview of a<br />
child's growth and maturity into an adolescent. Viewers learn pertinent vocabulary, statistics, and classroom strategies, and<br />
hear experienced classroom teachers offer insights and observations about children in this stage of development.<br />

THE CYCLE OF LIFE SERIES<br />
What can the science of life tell us about one particular life? This three-program series explores<br />
a triangle of basic human functions - learning, movement, and eating - and the dynamic roles<br />
they play from birth to death. Weaving together high-tech animation, detailed anatomical<br />
photography, and powerful dramatizations into a narrative framework, each program illustrates<br />
particular phases in the life of fictional heroine Anna Martin. Coupled with descriptions of realworld<br />
experiments in medicine and neurology, Anna's story becomes a journey through the latest<br />
scientific findings about human growth, survival, and mortality.<br />
HOW WE LEARN: Challenges and Rewards - a has built a successful business from the ground up<br />
- and upon retirement, leaves the company to her employees, not to her son. What does that<br />
decision tell us about Anna's psychology, and about the development of the human brain over a lifetime? This program<br />
explores the emotional and neurological side of learning, explaining how the brain processes and stores experiences and<br />
prepares for future decision-making. Employing superb dramatizations, the film depicts Anna's journey from innocent<br />
teenager to philosophical retiree - and the changes that take place in her cortex, hippocampus, and neural synapses as she<br />
faces and overcomes challenges. In addition, several influential brain experiments from the past decade are described.<br />
HOW WE MOVE: The Brain and Biomechanics - the twilight of an active life, Anna is now bedridden due to a serious fall.<br />
What makes the elderly - even those who are in full possession of their mental and physical faculties - more prone to falling<br />
than younger people? As this program demonstrates, the answer lies not in the body or the brain alone, but in their<br />
interconnection. Exploring Anna's past dreams of becoming a ballerina, the film shows how complex physical motion such as<br />
dancing or even typing requires sophisticated coordination between the body's neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. How<br />
aging affects such coordination, and how new artificial limb technology enables movement, are important themes.<br />
HOW WE EAT: From Birth to Death - na was born with a sweet tooth - and as a young woman, created a successful business<br />
using it. Her delicious jams and jellies gave pleasure to many, but did they also cause harm? This program explores the way<br />
the human body processes food and how its long-term growth and development are shaped by eating habits. Illustrating<br />
cellular aging and its relationship to AGEs, or advanced glycation end products, the film also draws a connection between the<br />
bacteria an infant must consume to build a healthy immune system and the bacteria that consume the body at death. As<br />
Anna's life draws to a close, viewers will understand that "dust to dust" is a cycle in which we take an active part - every time<br />
we sit down to a meal. 12840/0635 Three 52-minute programs 2006 $219.95 each or Series $599.95<br />

HEPATITIS B: Catch It Before It Catches You!<br />
Hepatitis B is the most common Hepatitis virus.<br />
Unfortunately many of the people who carry the virus<br />
don't even know they're infected. As a result the<br />
infection continues to proliferate. But there is a serious<br />
effort to eradicate this virus, through treatment and<br />
vaccine programs. The important first step is for those in<br />
the "at risk" categories to be tested. In this program we<br />
hear first hand accounts of what could happen if the<br />
infection remains untreated for many years.<br />

HEPATITIS C: Live Virus Free!<br />
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne disease affecting millions of<br />
people. Dangerously, most people infected aren't even<br />
aware they've contracted it. In this program, infectious<br />
disease specialists discuss the latest scientific and<br />
clinical data including treatment options and their side<br />
effects. We visit with real people who for years were<br />
unaware they were carrying the virus, found out, sought<br />
proper treatment and now live virus free.<br />

UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS SERIES<br />
Sex, drugs, and food - only a few of the means by which hepatitis hijacks and quietly assaults the human body. This series<br />
presents valuable facts about the causes of, and treatments for, the stealthy virus; it also features case studies that offer a<br />
real-world perspective on the globe-spanning disease. Pushing beyond the level of a medical primer, the series will enrich<br />
studies in substance abuse treatment, child care, restaurant training, and much more.<br />
UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS A - Although it’s the least menacing type of hepatitis, the virus strain known as HAV should not<br />
be underestimated. This program focuses on the causes and typical treatments for Hepatitis A and guides viewers through the<br />
different levels of danger that the virus poses to victims. Medical experts - including Dr. Harold Margolis, Former Chief of the<br />
CDC Hepatitis Branch, Dr. Jay Keystone of the University of Toronto, and travel medicine specialist Dr. Bradley Connor -<br />
explain the basic science behind HAV infections, describe common symptoms, and spell out preventive and palliative<br />
strategies. Also, a traveling businessman describes his frustrating experiences with Hepatitis A.<br />
UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS B - More harmful and resilient than its alphabetic precursor, Hepatitis B is usually transmitted<br />
sexually or through other close bodily contact. This program explains what distinguishes HBV from other hepatitis strains,<br />
how it can infect the human body and still go undetected for decades, and how it can be prevented with vaccines. Physicians<br />
specializing in hepatitis research and care - including Dr. Robert Perrillo of the Ochsner Clinic Foundation, Dr. Anna Lock of<br />
the University of Michigan Medical Center, and Dr. Frank Mahoney, chief of the CDC’s Hepatitis Prevention Unit - outline both<br />
successful and tragic case studies and guide viewers through the public health benefits of HBV education and immunization.<br />
UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS C - Most people associate cirrhosis with alcoholism - but another cause of liver scarring and<br />
failure is HCV, one of the most severe strains of hepatitis. This program provides a basic medical understanding of the virus,<br />
presents various ways that it is transmitted, and explores what many call a groundbreaking method of Hepatitis C treatment.<br />
Veteran researchers and doctors - Professor Eugene Shiff of the University of Miami Center of Liver Disease, Dr. Ira Jacobson<br />
of Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Beth P. Bell of the CDC, and others - describe typical HCV danger zones and causes and<br />
the pronounced risk of liver damage that the virus represents. Advanced antiviral therapies combining interferon and<br />
ribavirin are also discussed.<br />

THE BASICS OF ANATOMY SERIES<br />
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: Neurons, Networks & the Brain<br />
Begins by examining the structure and function of<br />
neurons; resting, action and post-synaptic potentials; and<br />
reflexes and neural networks. The peripheral, somatic,<br />
autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous<br />
systems are introduced before looking at the central<br />
nervous system. After describing spinal cord structure and<br />
function the program then examines the human brain<br />
including the medula, pons, and cerebellum of the<br />
hindbrain; the recticular formation of the midbrain; and<br />
the thalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex of the<br />
forebrain. 39 minutes<br />
IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM: Recognition, Attack and<br />
Memory<br />
Starts by looking at external barriers to microbial attack<br />
such as the skin and mucus membranes and non-specific<br />
internal defenses such as macrophages, natural killer<br />
cells, and the inflammatory response. The program then<br />
delves into the immune response including the recognition<br />
of invaders by antibodies and T-cell receptors, the<br />
destruction of invaders by antibodies and cytotoxic Tcells,<br />
and the immunity conferred by memory cells. A<br />
discussion of how vaccinations work and current AIDS<br />
research concludes the program. 33 minutes<br />
THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: Molecular Messengers,<br />
Chemical Control<br />
First looks at the chemical structure of various hormones,<br />
the hormone receptors found on target cells, and the<br />
feedback mechanisms that regulate hormone levels. After<br />
explaining the difference between exocrine and endocrine<br />
glands the program then looks at the various endocrine<br />
glands and organs including: the hypothalamus; the<br />
pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands; the<br />
pancreas, testes and ovaries; and organs such as the<br />
thymus, kidneys, stomach, small intestine and heart that<br />
produce hormones. 32 minutes<br />
RESPIRATION AND CIRCULATION: Gas Exchange,<br />
Molecular Transport<br />
Looks at the flow of air through the conducting portions of<br />
the respiratory system to the alveoli before examining:<br />
the role of hemoglobin in gas exchange and O2 and CO2<br />
transport in the blood; the operation of the respiratory<br />
control center; and the mechanics of breathing. The<br />
program then investigates the composition of blood and<br />
how it flows through the heart, arteries, capillaries and<br />
veins before looking at the role of the lymphatic system in<br />
fighting infection, transporting fats, and returning<br />
interstitial fluid to the blood. 35 minutes<br />
DIGESTION AND EXCRETION: Absorption, Excretion, and<br />
Homeostasis<br />
First examines the mechanical and chemical breakdown of<br />
food that occurs in the mouth and stomach before looking<br />
at digestion and absorption in the small intestine and the<br />
enzymes and other chemicals secreted by the liver, gall<br />
bladder, and pancreas that aid in the process. The<br />
program then looks at the synthesis of vitamins by<br />
bacteria in the large intestine and then goes on to explore<br />
the complex structures in the kidney that allow them to<br />
filter wastes out of the blood while returning water and<br />
nutrients. 30 minutes<br />
MUSCULAR, SKELETAL, AND INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM:<br />
Defining Our Form<br />
Begins by introducing the dermis and epidermis of the<br />
skin; the sweat and sebaceous glands; and the skins role<br />
in protecting against microbial invasion, ultra-violet<br />
radiation and in producing vitamin D. The program then<br />
looks in-depth at the structure and function of skeletal,<br />
cardiac and smooth muscle before looking at the structure<br />
of cartilage and bone and the skeletal systems role in<br />
protecting vital organs, producing blood cells, storing<br />
nutrients and in conjunction with the muscular system,<br />
producing movement. 28 minutes<br />

THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BRAIN “Highly Recommended”<br />
A startling new map of the human brain has emerged during the past decade of neuroscience research, contradicting much of<br />
what was previously believed. Narrated by Blair Brown and directed by David Grubin, this series tells stories through a mix of<br />
personal histories, expert commentary, and cutting-edge animation. Viewers learn startling new truths about the brain.<br />
THE BABY'S BRAIN: Wider Than the Sky - Less than a month after conception, human brain cells are developing at the rate<br />
of 500,000 per minute. Billions of cells linked by trillions of connections form the brain, but how does it organize itself? What<br />
are the roles played by genetics and environment in brain development? Episode One traces formation of the infant brain<br />
through age one, the period when it is most open to molding through external influence and experience.<br />
THE CHILD'S BRAIN: Syllable from Sound<br />
The explosion of language in young children provides a dramatic illustration of the young brain at work. How do we learn to<br />
talk? How do we learn to read? Unlike adults, in whose brains most linguistic activity is restricted to the left hemisphere, very<br />
young children respond to language with the entire brain. But what happens when the brain is physically compromised? And<br />
what are the physical roots of language disorders such as dyslexia?<br />
THE TEENAGE BRAIN: A World of their Own - Parents who believe teenagers are different from other humans may be<br />
comforted to learn that it is literally true. During puberty the brain is a work in progress, teeming with hormones; areas that<br />
direct reasoning and impulse control are still in development. During adolescence, people are especially susceptible to<br />
addiction and schizophrenia, two areas under intensive study and benefiting from increased understanding of brain function.<br />
THE ADULT BRAIN: To Think By Feeling<br />
The brain is the seat of both intellect and emotion, and this episode chronicles the critical balance between these processes<br />
and explores what happens when the balance is lost. Scientists draw insight from the stories of a stroke victim and a sufferer<br />
of post-traumatic stress disorder, and break new ground in the struggle to understand and treat depression.<br />
THE AGING BRAIN: Through Many Lives<br />
For years, science has suggested that we lose vast numbers of brain cells as we grow older; now it turns out that this is not<br />
true -- in fact, healthy brains continue to produce new neurons well into the 70s. Drawing on the most recent neuroscience<br />
discoveries, this episode presents a new view of how the brain ages, focusing in part on the remarkable strides being made in<br />
understanding stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.<br />

ONCOLOGICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT: Alternative Pain Management in Treatment<br />
In an effort to decrease the disease-related and treatment-related stressors on body functioning, an increasing number of<br />
cancer patients are seeking out and incorporating complementary approaches into their treatment plan. This series discusses<br />
such approaches and show how they are utilized in their practice settings. There are two programs in the series:<br />
RELAXATION AND GUIDED IMAGERY - Cancer imagery aims to help reduce and relieve side effects and also to lessen the fear<br />
and stress of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. According to an article from the University of California, San Diego, a<br />
review of 46 studies conducted from 1966 to 1998 by the American Cancer Society found that guided imagery was effective in<br />
managing stress, anxiety, depression, pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy. Cancer guided imagery is recommended in<br />
conjunction with prescribed medical treatment, not as a stand-alone therapy. 23 minutes<br />
THERAPEUTIC TOUCH - Although the word "touch" is part of the modality's name, physical touch is not necessary when<br />
practitioners offer a treatment. Another name for Therapeutic Touch is Non-Contact Therapeutic Touch (NCTT), giving it the<br />
moniker 'Distance Healing'. In a state of health, Life Energy flows freely in, through, and out of the field in an orderly<br />
manner. Disease or injury affects, obstructs, disorders, or depletes the flow of energy. Thereafter, Touch Practitioners<br />
attempt to influence the energy flow to restore the integrity of the field and move it toward wholeness and health. 16 min.<br />

THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT<br />
Alzheimer's disease may be affecting as many as five million people and as the Baby Boomer generation moves through<br />
retirement, that number could more than double. While there is not yet a cure for this disease - more feared than any other<br />
except cancer - this four program series shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about controlling and,<br />
eventually, eliminating it. The series also takes a humane but honest look at the devastating effects of Alzheimer's on<br />
patients and those who love them. An HBO Production.<br />
THE MEMORY LOSS TAPES<br />
This program puts a human face on the progression of Alzheimer's disease as it profiles seven people, ages 63 to 87, at<br />
different stages of the illness. Cases range from a woman fiercely holding onto her independence even as memory lapses<br />
make it harder and harder to do so, to a man who can no longer remember his family yet can still perform beautifully with a<br />
vocal group, to a woman who must be fenced in, literally, to keep her from wandering off her daughter's property. "We<br />
wanted to capture a sense of what it was to be inside the disease," says filmmaker Shari Cookson. "You see how everything<br />
you've learned and been in your life is stripped away - yet you still get these glimmers of the person." 85 minutes $249.95<br />
GRANDPA, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? with Maria Shriver<br />
Based on the book What's Happening to Grandpa? by Maria Shriver, this program<br />
tells the stories of five children, ages 6 through 15, who are confronted by the<br />
effects of Alzheimer's disease on their grandparents. Commentary by Shriver,<br />
whose father has Alzheimer's, offers grandchildren of patients compassionate<br />
advice on how to cope with a beloved family member's gradual decline into<br />
dementia through these five case study "lessons". This program is a valuable<br />
resource both for young people and for counselors and healthcare professionals<br />
who provide guidance to children and their families. 30 minutes $169.95<br />
MOMENTUM IN SCIENCE, Parts 1 and 2<br />
Amidst the heartbreak of Alzheimer's disease, there is real reason for hope. This<br />
program goes inside the labs and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians<br />
who are seeking to discover how to better detect and diagnose the disease, delay<br />
the onset of memory loss, affect the brain changes associated with the disease,<br />
and ultimately prevent the disease altogether. Alzheimer's hallmark beta-amyloid<br />
plaques and tau tangles are investigated, as well as relationships between Alzheimer's and vascular disease, diabetes,<br />
inflammation, genetics, exercise, and nutrition. Advanced imaging and diagnostic technologies and vaccine clinical trials are<br />
also discussed. 125 minutes $429.95<br />
CAREGIVERS - Approximately 70 percent of people with Alzheimer's disease live at home and are cared for by family and<br />
friends - and the physical and emotional tolls on those caregivers can be extreme. Through five intimate portraits, this<br />
program illustrates the stages of Alzheimer's while documenting the sacrifices and successes, frustrations and triumphs, of<br />
caregivers experiencing a loved one's gradual descent into dementia. Issues such as denial and guilt are addressed, as are<br />
care-related changes in communication and intimacy. Caregiving tips, coping skills, and insights into the hidden rewards of<br />
Alzheimer's care are interwoven throughout. 50 minutes $219.95<br />

LEARNING TO SPEAK ALZHEIMER'S: An Introduction to the Habilitation Approach to Care<br />
"I had to ask to preview this title in order to justify the cost for our budget, and it was passed with flying colors. It is<br />
sensitive, touching, and so complete. How did you manage such depth within the timeframe of the film? Brilliant and<br />
powerful! Thank you!"<br />
This program - featuring Alzheimer expert and author Joanne Koenig Coste, M.Ed. - introduces the key concepts and<br />
philosophies of her pioneering form of care - habilitation. This simple, compassionate and uncomplicated approach to care<br />
addresses the needs of the Alzheimer person and creates an environment in which both the patient and carepartner can<br />
transcend the disease. Offers a wealth of information, practical techniques and guideposts for health professionals,<br />
caregivers, and families caring for an Alzheimer person. #11956/0145 32 minutes 2008 $229.95<br />
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S<br />
What is the difference between run-of-the-mill memory difficulties and the effects of Alzheimer's disease? If an older person<br />
is experiencing more "senior moments" than usual, should he or she be concerned? What happens inside the brain of an<br />
Alzheimer's patient? This program addresses those questions with the help of expert interviews and compelling case studies.<br />
Viewers will learn how the disease alters brain chemistry and leads to brain cell loss, and how it is typically diagnosed with<br />
cognitive tests and by studying patterns in a patient's history. #12564/0635 28 minutes 2006 $129.95<br />
WHAT’S AGE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Best Seller and Canadian too!<br />
This riveting program looks at the devastating effects of abuse upon older women within intimate or spousal relationships as<br />
well as abuse by adult children. Covers a diversity of seniors, representing many different social values, upbringings and<br />
experience. In common however, many women over sixty retain strong beliefs about privacy and self-reliance, are more<br />
likely to practice a religion, and are traditionally committed to the family, the husband and the home. Other isolating factors<br />
associated with age include health and disability issues. The primary message here is that older women can be victims of<br />
abusive behavior although it is often "silent and invisible". All forms of abuse are unacceptable and an abuser must be<br />
accountable. Age is no excuse. It's never too late for an abuser to stop and for an older woman to get out of an abusive<br />
relationship. Contains disturbing scenes. #8676/0270 14 minutes 2003 Includes guide $179.95 *Also in FRENCH *CC<br />

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE<br />
THE HEALTH CHOICES SERIES<br />
"Health Choices" is a series of ground-breaking programs that examine the array of<br />
choices available today to maintain health and combat illness. From everyday<br />
problems such as headaches to the life-threatening ordeal of heart disease, this series<br />
explores treatment and therapeutic options, ranging from the conventional to the<br />
alternative. Will also help viewers understand the scientific basis for a large range of<br />
health issues and provide information necessary for living a healthy life.<br />
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION: Am I At Risk?<br />
We are in the midst of incredible advances in research<br />
that may permit us to identify the genetic causes of<br />
disease and identify who may be at risk for various<br />
diseases. We visit the Genome Project at the NIH and<br />
explore the status of genetic mapping. There are strong<br />
advocates of a nutritional approach to disease prevention.<br />
We visit Dr. Dean Ornish and examine his approach of the<br />
impact of diet and lifestyle on prevention and even<br />
reversal of heart disease. Finally, scientists at Berkeley<br />
and explore the myths and realties of environmental<br />
causes of disease. #12292<br />
CONFRONTING CANCER: An Integrated Approach<br />
A moving portrait of a 30 year-old woman who has battled<br />
progressive breast cancer for the past 6 years. What<br />
makes her story unique is that from the initial diagnosis<br />
onward she has embraced a fully integrated approach to<br />
the treatment of her disease. She has received the best<br />
possible conventional care at major cancer centers such<br />
as Sloan-Kettering, Dana Farber and UCSF. But in addition<br />
to this she has fully researched and explored alternative<br />
therapies and with the full support of her oncologist she<br />
uses energy healing, acupuncture and Tibetan herbs.<br />
THE HEALING ATTITUDE: The Empowered Patient<br />
To what degree does a positive attitude help a patient<br />
cope with an illness and respond to its treatment? We<br />
explore this issue through the eyes of several patients. We<br />
also learn that the doctor-patient relationship is<br />
undergoing some changes. Patients now have access to<br />
more information - the "empowered patient" is becoming<br />
more common, and some doctors feel that this<br />
empowerment is a good thing.<br />
IN SEARCH OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: Can We Stop<br />
the Aging Process?<br />
Scientists are now paying greater attention to the<br />
principal factors that impact the aging process. There is<br />
promising research currently underway in the area of the<br />
genetic basis of the rate of aging. Can we extend the<br />
average life-span? In addition can we improve the quality<br />
of life in later years by reducing the susceptibility on<br />
onset of diseases that come with old age? There are also<br />
studies focusing on the relationship of diet and lifestyle<br />
on the aging process.<br />
NATURE'S PHARMACY: Herbal Medicine<br />
The use of herbs to improve health and well-being is<br />
definitely on the rise. We examine the origins of herbal<br />
medicine that originated in China thousands of years ago.<br />
The program looks at how these herbs are located and<br />
produced. We examine the potential dangers of using<br />
herbal medicine with conventional drugs. We also explore<br />
the question of determining the potency of the active<br />
ingredients in herbs in an essentially unregulated<br />
industry. And at the NIH, we visit scientists who are<br />
involved in the research of natural products. #12037<br />
SPIRITUAL<br />
HEALING: Healing from Within<br />
Can one's faith or beliefs have an impact on illness? This is<br />
the theme of this film during which Dr. Torman speaks<br />
with Dr. Deepak Chopra (Indian spirituality expert), Dr.<br />
Lewis Mehl-Madronna (psychiatrist of Native American<br />
heritage and knowledge), Dr. Kenneth Pelletier (author of<br />
The Best of Alternative Medicine) and country music star,<br />
Naomi Judd. The current state of research in spirituality<br />
and healing is one of the issues reviewed in this program.<br />

TELL ME WHERE IT HURTS: A New Way to Look at<br />
Ordinary Aches and Pains<br />
Admittedly, traditional doctors have not always been<br />
effective in understanding and treatment of pain.<br />
Advances are being made in understanding the causes of<br />
chronic pain. Tens of millions suffer from some type of<br />
chronic pain. We examine the treatment of patients with<br />
various types of chronic pain including headache and<br />
arthritis pain and what can be done to relieve the<br />
suffering.<br />
THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE PAIN<br />
Doctors are now exploring other avenues beyond drugs to<br />
deal with acute pain. Researchers and Pain Centers are<br />
incorporating and evaluating alternative approaches to<br />
acute pain suffered by patients with debilitating illnesses<br />
like patients with AIDS. Can alternative therapies be used<br />
in conjunction with conventional drug treatments to<br />
reduce the dependency on potentially toxic drugs and<br />
their side effects? We visit several patients suffering from<br />
acute pain, including severe failed back pain and examine<br />
the research underway to deal with this problem. #12101<br />
UNDERSTANDING THE MIND/BODY CONNECTION:<br />
Preferred Methods of Treatment<br />
Fascinating current research underscores the enormous<br />
role and connection of the mind in enhancing the body's<br />
ability to heal itself or at least, improve its condition. Dr.<br />
Howard Torman interviews Dr. Herbert Benson, author of<br />
the Relaxation Response, Dr. Robert Fried of biofeedback<br />
fame, Dr. Kenneth Pelletier, author of The Best of<br />
Alternative Medicine for a clearer understanding of the<br />
mind's impact on health and illness. In keeping with<br />
Health Choices' vision, patients and families talk about<br />
their illnesses and preferred method of treatment. #12038<br />
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT: Or Are You?<br />
There are a myriad of diets and nutritional regimens that<br />
claim to be effective in the prevention, and possibly the<br />
treatment, of illness. We examine several controversial<br />
approaches to diet and nutrition. We explore the<br />
Macrobiotic approach and interview patients who have<br />
successfully used the diet to treat illness. We also visit<br />
the Gene Mayer Center at Tufts University, perhaps the<br />
nation's leading nutritional research institution, and<br />
explore the research on nutrition and health. #12038<br />

HEALING WITHIN: How Your State of Mind Can Promote Health and Healing<br />
*Winner! Award of Excellence, First Place - 2007 National Health Information<br />
Stress can come from a variety of places: work, school, home, family. A build up can affect the body and be the onset to<br />
serious illnesses. Today, researchers are developing an innovative and holistic approach to combat stress. Meditation and<br />
relaxation techniques increase the emission of alpha waves by the brain and trigger a series of reactions that sooth the body.<br />
These techniques have helped patients rediscover their confidence, their identity, and their livelihood while bringing them a<br />
newfound energy to confront the illness face to face. In this program, five patients share their stories - each an emotional<br />
battle for survival. #12578/0145 52 minutes 2006 *Includes Guide $189.95<br />
THE <strong>NEW</strong> MEDICINE "Watch this program and it will change your life."<br />
Dr. Mehmet C. Oz, MD, NY Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University<br />
"Every single patient should be informed that the mind has a huge impact on the body and there are ways you can take<br />
advantage of that."<br />
Tracy Gaudet, MD, Duke Center for Integrative Medicine<br />
Extraordinary changes are taking place in medicine today. Driven by new scientific evidence, doctors are coming to<br />
understand that treating the body alone is not enough - the mind can also play a critical role in the healing process. Many<br />
physicians are embracing a more holistic form of healthcare, seeking to heal the whole person. Treatments once considered<br />
fringe, including visualization, meditation and hypnosis, are being prescribed alongside high-tech western medicine. And<br />
medical schools are placing new importance on teaching the "softer side of medicine": listening and communicating. Hosted<br />
by Dana Reeve in one of her last public appearances, this documentary is a revealing look at physicians on the cutting edge of<br />
this approach. #12724/0645 114 minutes 2006 $249.95<br />

Your students already know they are supposed to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. They know to watch calories<br />
and fats. But an answer to the key question of how MUCH to eat remains elusive. Finding that answer is complicated by the<br />
fact that we live in a super sized world. Our perception of what is an appropriate serving of food is distorted. Soft drinks<br />
come in forty gallon drums and restaurant meals could feed a small village for a week. How much we eat threatens our<br />
health. This program will help your students develop portion awareness. They will become better judges of how much they<br />
eat so they can take control of their own nutrition. They will learn to replace "super size it" with "intelli-size it".<br />

ADOLESCENT ONSET SCHIZOPHRENIA:<br />
1 in 100 Young People<br />
Unlike schizophrenia that strikes in very early childhood,<br />
the adolescent-onset variety is frequently highly treatable,<br />
and young people have a greater likelihood of fully<br />

their children need. This film will help you learn how that is<br />
done. #12030/0145 26 minutes 2008 $189.95 *CC<br />
WASTING AWAY<br />
In this program, you will see the struggles teens face with Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa from individuals that have<br />
suffered from this affliction and survived. For reasons that are unclear, some people, mainly young women, develop<br />
potentially life-threatening eating disorders called bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. People with bulimia, known as<br />
bulimics, indulge in bingeing (episodes of eating large amounts of food) and purging (getting rid of the food by vomiting or<br />
using laxatives). People with anorexia, whom doctors sometimes call anorectics, severely limit their food intake. About half<br />
of them also have bulimia symptoms. Bulimia is also a very deadly physical illness as intentionally purging causes many<br />
debilitating effects including severe tooth erosion, tears of the esophagus, life threatening potassium imbalances and more.<br />
More than 20% die form complications relating to their eating disorders. Anorexics similarly are affected by their illnesses in<br />
many ways ranging from fatigue and lack of energy, amenorrhea (loss of menstruation), loss of bone mass and even cardiac<br />
arrest and death. #13027 18 minutes 2005 $149.95<br />

COMING HOME FROM WAR SERIES<br />
In these two important programs, Earnie Larsen focuses on the "new face of courage" needed by many returning service<br />
personnel to successfully integrate. Many of the qualities imprinted during military training necessary for success in war<br />
become obstacles to peaceful, successful integration at home. Overriding the power of those qualities takes as true a warrior<br />
as war demanded. And eventually it all ends up at the table of relationships.<br />
Part One - THE <strong>NEW</strong> FACE OF COURAGE - Trauma changes people. War is continual trauma. War changes people. The<br />
qualities necessary to be successful in war become the same qualities that often block successful reintegration after the war.<br />
For many this successful reintegration requires a new face of courage for the new kind of battle that recovering from war is.<br />
Part Two - MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WORK NOW - Successful reintegration eventually is about relationships. Whether the<br />
relationships are with self or others they require skills. These skills can be learned. They also can be blocked by deeply<br />
ingrained habits. Overcoming these blocking habits and rising up to new skills requires the highest kind of courage.<br />

THE ANGER BLUEPRINT - This program dramatically teaches responsible Anger, Boundaries and Safety. Based on a<br />
three-day workshop facilitated by acclaimed speaker Dr. Joann Peterson, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., Dip.C., Ph.D., this video follows<br />

THE ANGER WORKSHOP SERIES<br />
Dr. Joann Peterson, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., Dip. C., Ph.D. spent more than 40 years developing anger / violence interventions for<br />
children and adults and collaborated with professionals and agencies across the United States and Canada. What Dr. Peterson<br />
found is that strategies to suppress anger often failed when people were under duress.<br />
This series is based on Dr. Peterson's three-day workshop at The Haven Institute in B.C. It stands in sharp contrast to other<br />
anger management programs because Dr. Peterson believes anger is a feeling or emotional response to hurt, fear,<br />
frustration, helplessness and loss. Since those are natural feelings, she teaches the tools to express them responsibly,<br />
separate anger from violence and build safety in all relationships. This leads to: better health, enriched relationships, safer<br />
homes, workplaces and communities, and more passion and effectiveness in your life.<br />

PSYCHOLOGY / SOCIOLOGY<br />
NORM: A Documentary about Love, Family, and Survival<br />
*Winner of two Gemini nominations!!! And Donald Brittain Award for Best<br />
Social/Political Documentary / Best Director.<br />
Norm was born with Down Syndrome in 1949, in an era that assumed<br />
children like him would be sent away to institutions and that their life<br />
expectancy may not exceed 15 years. Though Norman spent much of his<br />
childhood with his family, he was ultimately put into foster-care by his<br />
parents. NORM is a love story pure and simple. But there is nothing simple<br />
about it. It begins with a simple premise - a grown sister decides to step up<br />
to the plate and rescue and take care of her older mentally challenged<br />
brother. It evolves into a story of hilarity and healing and the gathering up<br />
of all the frayed strands of a lost and guilt-ridden family. It speaks to every<br />
one of us. NORM is an exuberant celebration of life.<br />

is heir to. We see in the film that there are transgressions people find themselves unwilling or unable to forgive. Through<br />

and spiritual benefits that come with it. #12680/0645 60 minutes 2008 $169.95<br />

create people types called "us" and "them". But every "us" is somebody else's "them"! This program explores common thinking<br />
habits to show how they can easily lead to hidden assumptions, bias, and prejudice. Stereotyping and prejudice are not<br />
limited to the ignorant or closed-minded. Its beginnings lie in the almost automatic need to group people into categories and<br />
to identify clear "us" and "them" groups. The program assumes it is better to identify and challenge your own bias rather than<br />
declare yourself bias-free. We each have some hidden assumptions about some people types - age, gender, race, ethnicity,<br />
size, nationality, or lifestyle. Not about specific minority groups, it rather explores the mental processes we use to deal with<br />
other cultures, with people who do not fit our category of "us". #10399/1120 27 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $125.95 *CC<br />

PRAYING WITH LIOR - The winner of numerous awards, this documentary asks whether someone with Down syndrome<br />
can be a "spiritual genius". Many believe Lior is close to God -- at least that's what his family and community believe -- though<br />

PREJUDICE: More than Black and White<br />
Muslims, blacks, gays, people with disabilities, and immigrants of every ethnicity and color: they and many other groups have<br />
stood in the spotlight glare of intolerance, easy targets for every sort of discrimination and violence. What makes people<br />
prone to irrational hate, and what steps can individuals and society take to eradicate it? In this program, psychology<br />
professors Susan Fiske of Princeton University, and Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard University, representatives of the Council on<br />
American-Islamic Relations and other pro-tolerance groups, and victims of prejudice share their insights and experiences. A<br />
pro-gay Baptist minister who formerly took a biblical stance against homosexuality and an ex-Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux<br />
Klan who now speaks out for tolerance also offer their views. *Contains inflammatory language and images<br />

ZIMBARDO SPEAKS: The Lucifer Effect and the Psychology of Evil<br />
Philip Zimbardo has spent decades researching the transformation of character that occurs when generally good people are<br />
led to engage in evil actions. In this lecture, Zimbardo discourses on theories of conformity, prejudice, aggression, social<br />
influence, and antisocial behavior. Topics include the permeability of behavioral boundaries; the nature of evil and its<br />
societal consequences; Zimbardo’s Lucifer Effect; the Abu Ghraib atrocities, a recent example of evil in action; blind<br />
obedience as demonstrated by Stanley Milgram’s experiments and by the Jonestown mass suicide; anonymity as an enabler of<br />
evil action, as illustrated by the Ku Klux Klan; Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment; dehumanization as demonstrated by<br />
Albert Bandura’s experiments and by the Rwandan genocide; how systems create evil, as illustrated by the Holocaust and the<br />
lynching of African-Americans; heroism as an antidote to evil; and more. A Q&A session follows.<br />

TIM WISE: On White Privilege<br />
For years, acclaimed author and speaker Tim Wise has been electrifying audiences on the college lecture circuit with his<br />
deeply personal take on whiteness and white privilege. In this spellbinding lecture he offers a unique, inside-out view of race<br />
and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a nonconfrontational<br />
explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color, but to white people as<br />
well. This is an invaluable classroom resource: an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a<br />
critical new tool for exploring the often invoked - but seldom explained - concept of white privilege.<br />

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Instinctive Reactions and What They Reveal<br />
What happens when ordinary people become witnesses to upsetting events - such as a theft in<br />
progress, the possibility of domestic violence, or the abuse of another citizen's civil rights? Do most<br />
people follow the same emotional and psychological patterns when reacting? Is there such a thing<br />
as a "normal" reaction? This three-part ABC News series captures raw responses to staged situations<br />
with the help of actors and hidden cameras. Whether compelled to take action or to mind his or<br />
her own business, each unknowing participant makes a split-second - and often surprising - decision<br />
that will interest students of psychology, sociology, and ethics.<br />
CONFRONTING DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICE - Encourage students to explore biases and<br />
stereotypes with this group of segments. Each scenario puts actors into exchanges with unwitting<br />
bystanders, generating a wide range of responses - from overt hostility towards other races and<br />
cultures to acts of genuine compassion. Scenes include a bakery clerk's refusal to serve a Muslim<br />
woman wearing a headscarf; cruelty towards an overweight woman seated on a boardwalk; a very<br />
public argument that threatens to become violent; and a purse-snatching in a crowded square,<br />
after which witnesses are asked to view a suspect lineup. Repeating the two latter situations,<br />
producers achieve varying reactions among onlookers by switching the races of the actors.<br />
STANDING UP AS A CITIZEN - Spark class discussion on civic responsibility with this compilation of ABC News segments.<br />
Each scenario involves onlookers who - unaware that they are observing actors in staged situations - exhibit a variety of<br />
responses, from complacency to outrage. Scenes include flagrant littering at a seaside resort; displays of hypocrisy when the<br />
chance to be a Good Samaritan arises; illegal use of a disabled-only spot, even as a truly deserving driver attempts to park<br />
there; and another parking-space dispute, this one concerning severe damage to surrounding cars and an offending driver<br />
who doesn't care. Viewers will find several opportunities to explore the meaning of good citizenship and the importance of<br />
community involvement.<br />
OPPOSING AGGRESSION AND BULLYING - Initiate lectures and class dialogue with this cluster of ABC News segments on<br />
violence, aggressive behavior, and crime. In each scenario, actors draw unassuming spectators into tense and often disturbing<br />
situations - with a broad spectrum of results. Scenes include intense verbal bullying by three teen girls against one in a very<br />
public setting; a racially loaded incident in which three teenagers vandalize an automobile in broad daylight; the theft of a<br />
wallet in a crowded restaurant while some onlookers apparently couldn't care less; and an occurrence of the shocking<br />
nationwide phenomenon known as bum-bashing, in which a homeless person is attacked for no apparent reason. Each scene is<br />
designed to provoke both introspection and group debate.<br />

UNDERSTANDING SOCIOLOGY SERIES<br />
This series of seven programs discusses origins, core concepts, and applications of sociological theory, sociology’s relationship<br />
to evolving societal frameworks, the conducting of sociological research, and much more!<br />
CORE CONCEPTS IN SOCIOLOGY - Sociology, in a nutshell, is about why people behave in the ways that they do, and the key<br />
premise is that behavior is shaped by the contexts in which people live. This multi-segment program introduces the<br />
sociological concepts of personal, social, and role identity; of primary and secondary socialization; and of culture, with its<br />
associated concepts of learned norms and values, ethnocentrism, cultural diversity, and cultural change. 37 minutes<br />
SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY AND METHODS - This multi-section program addresses classical social theory, examining the origins<br />
of sociology through the efforts of Marx and Comte to build a holistic science of society; positivism, through a case study of<br />
students using surveys to do research on education; interpretivism, through a parallel case study in which students use<br />
interviews to carry out their research; and realism, comparing it to classical, positivist, and interpretivist approaches. The<br />
video also draws upon a case study of suicide to illustrate how positivist and interpretivist approaches lead researchers to ask<br />
very different questions about this key sociological topic. 41 minutes<br />
MAKING SENSE OF SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY - This multi-section program explains the role of sociological theory, distinguishes<br />
between structure and action, and sheds light on three major perspectives in sociology—societies as organic structures,<br />
societies as economic structures, and societies as social action—by looking at their origins and key ideas and then showing<br />
how they can be applied. The video concludes by using a case study on the medicalization of life problems in contemporary<br />
societies as an opportunity to consider how Durkheimian, Marxist, and interactionist theories might explain that<br />
phenomenon. 57 minutes<br />
FROM MODERNITY TO POSTMODERNITY: A Sociological Inquiry - Sociologically speaking, how does postmodernity differ<br />
from modernity? This multi-section program seeks to answer that question as it evaluates sociology’s relationship to an<br />
evolving societal framework. Topics such as greater personal choice, increasingly fragmented identities, multiplying<br />
uncertainties, and media saturation are considered, along with some of the contradictions inherent in the postmodern<br />
position. In addition, a case study comparing modernist views of gender and gender differences with the postmodernist view<br />
that fragments and blurs the boundaries of gender identities is included. 46 minutes<br />
THE SOCIOLOGY OF CRIME AND DEVIANCE - Taking into account the dramatic shift in the focus of research in recent years<br />
from theories about criminal activity to applications of crime prevention, this multi-section program compares and contrasts<br />
the concepts of social causation, social construction, and social control as they relate to the sociology of crime and deviance.<br />
Topics include the influence of wider social forces on theories about crime, the reevaluation of criminals as victims or rebels,<br />
and three examples of the movement toward a greater pragmatism concerning crime: socio-environmental control,<br />
situational crime prevention, and Braithwaite’s restorative justice. 40 minutes<br />
THE SOCIOLOGY OF FAMILIES AND HOUSEHOLDS - This multi-section program examines the relationships between<br />
established sociological perspectives - structural functionalism, Marxist theory, and early feminist theory - and the family;<br />
investigates how over several decades the decline in marriage, an increase in cohabitation and divorce, and the lowering<br />
fertility rate in the U.K. have affected the British nuclear family; and juxtaposes the old sociology of families and the new,<br />
with its emphasis on comparative analysis and how family relationships are negotiated in everyday life. Concludes with a look<br />
at how changes in family life can be linked to changes in wider society and asks if families have a future. 40 minutes<br />
DOING SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH - This multi-segment program focuses on the world of education as it addresses aspects of<br />
how to conduct sociological research. After defining what exactly constitutes research, the video defines the concepts of<br />
reliability, validity, and representativeness through a study of social interaction in schools; sheds light on essential ideas in<br />
survey research via a study of educational inequalities; considers decision-making and social capital in education while<br />
presenting the use of interviews in sociological research; and illustrates ethnography in action as it tracks a study of<br />
surveillance in schools using observational methods. 37 minutes<br />

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHOLOGY SERIES<br />
This six program series is designed to make some of psychology's more abstract theoretical and methodological issues<br />
accessible to students through case studies and examples that relate to everyday life experiences.<br />
PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH IN CONTEXT<br />
This program clarifies selected principles of science by contextualizing them through easily comprehensible applications of<br />
psychological research. Divided into five sections, the video illustrates the hypothetical-deductive model of scientific<br />
reasoning via Piaget's classic conservation experiment and Donaldson and McGarrigle's challenge of it; the analysis of<br />
statistics involving scenarios in which a record producer considers signing a new band and a student carries out IQ testing; the<br />
use of graphs to present data from a study of romance ads; the concept of statistical significance through the conducting of<br />
memory tests; and data interpretation through a study measuring levels of aggression. 29 minutes<br />
PERSPECTIVES ON PSYCHOLOGY<br />
Better self-control begins with an understanding of the psychological factors that affect behavior. Section one of this<br />
program focuses on the influence of brain structure, brain chemistry, and genetics on behavior; section two illustrates key<br />
concepts of psychoanalytic theory; and section three distinguishes between classical and operant conditioning. Strengths and<br />
limitations of the biological, psychodynamic, and behaviorist perspectives are addressed as well. The program concludes by<br />
considering the issue of determinism and free will. 41 minutes<br />
MENTAL DISORDER<br />
What is abnormality? Using the case studies of two young women-one who has depression, one who has an anxiety disorder-as<br />
a springboard, this program presents three psychological perspectives on mental disorder. Section one considers it as a bodily<br />
disease, identifying underlying assumptions of the biomedical model and illustrating the treatments it offers. Section two<br />
looks at it as a disease of the mind, developing the view that the origins of some mental disorders may lie in people's<br />
experiences. And section three outlines the basis of the constructionist perspective and the idea that mental disorder is<br />
socially defined. The increasing medicalization of behavior is also addressed. 30 minutes<br />
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY<br />
Drawing upon laboratory and field experiments, this program compares and contrasts experimental research methods through<br />
an attractiveness study involving young adults. Section one observes how subjects respond to photos in two lab environments<br />
- one comfortable, and one not. Then, section two repeats the experiment in two field locales: a trendy bar and a dull coffee<br />
shop. Does context make a difference to the outcomes? Concludes with a third section, in which experts explore some of the<br />
issues common to both experimental methods: demand characteristics, ethical concerns, and reductionism. 28 minutes<br />
NON-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY<br />
This program presents non-experimental research methods - questionnaires, interviews, and naturalistic observation -<br />
through three studies on the effects of cell phone use. Section one explains good questionnaire design while considering both<br />
the advantages and limitations of this method. Section two examines the use of unstructured interviews, a more nuanced<br />
approach to data collection. And section three spotlights the performance of naturalistic observation - and in the process<br />
illustrates some of the practical difficulties and ethical issues involved in this type of research. 34 minutes<br />
CLASSIC STUDIES IN PSYCHOLOGY<br />
This program brings to life five of psychology's most significant studies: Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment, 1961; Milgram's<br />
Study of Obedience, 1963; Ainsworth's Strange Situation Experiment, 1971 and 1978; Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment,<br />
1973; and Loftus's Eyewitness Testimony Experiment, 1974. Footage from the original experiments and from contemporary<br />
reconstructions is featured throughout, along with expert commentary and analysis. 38 minutes<br />

INTRODUCING CANNABIS: Risks, Laws<br />
and Habits<br />
Cannabis is often regarded as a relatively safe, albeit<br />
illegal drug, compared with hard drugs such as cocaine<br />
and heroin. Recently however, there is a growing<br />
realization that, for some people at least, cannabis is<br />
anything but safe. This program looks at the effect of<br />
cannabis on the brain and the devastating consequences<br />
for some users.<br />

MESSING WITH HEADS: Marijuana and Mental<br />
Illness<br />
For decades, heavy marijuana use has been linked to<br />
impaired judgment and mental ability but now there is<br />
another link to mental illnesses, specifically schizophrenia<br />
and paranoid psychosis. Citing a wealth of clinical<br />
evidence and observations by neurologists, psychiatrists,<br />
and psychologists, the program delves into the frightening<br />
effects of THC on young brains: psychotic delusions and<br />
behavior that may not appear until years after drug abuse<br />
has ended. #4729/0635 46 minutes 2005 $219.95 *CC<br />
RECREATIONAL DRUGS<br />
Despite ongoing efforts, recreational drug use is growing - and changing - with the population. When you think about<br />
recreational drugs, you might think of marijuana or Ecstasy (MDMA). But what about heroin, crack cocaine, and<br />
methamphetamines? Recreational drug use is anything but child's play, and healthcare professionals must be prepared to<br />
manage the care of patients affected by recreational drugs. This program explores the most common recreational drugs and<br />
their effects as well as how you can care for drug abusers. Also looks at the statistics and evaluates the trends driving<br />

KHARAAB DARU: Bad Medicine<br />
The production of this program was inspired by a recent tragedy that occurred in which a Punjabi man shot and killed his<br />
wife and also shot his daughter during a family conflict. Newspaper articles at the time indicated that the man was feeling<br />
depressed after his business failed and he began to drink heavily. In the Punjabi community it is common to refer to alcohol<br />
as medicine. Some Punjabi men misuse alcohol in a failed attempt to cope with personal suffering or problems. In "Bad<br />
Medicine" well known Punjabi-speaking professionals including police, doctors, counselors, family support workers,<br />
psychiatrist, and elders, along with individuals impacted by alcohol, share their knowledge with respect to the harms and<br />
risks associated with problem drinking, mistaking alcohol as medicine, how alcohol impairs mental and physical functioning,<br />
drinking and driving, addiction and family violence, and the benefits of recovery. *In Punjabi with English Subtitles<br />

focus was the radical inner change, though this change is often slow and never perfect, that alone has the power to not only<br />
arrest addiction but also move the recovering person into the life of The Promises. Much of their focus has been lost over the<br />
years. Perhaps it is time to return to their vision.<br />

This series by Delbert Boone is the cognitive restructuring tool that addiction treatment programs have been waiting for. The<br />
three programs provide thought-provoking group discussion as it forces the viewer to take a serious look at their lifestyle,<br />
behavior, attitude and what they need to do in early sobriety.<br />
MY BEHAVIOR EXPLAINED - Delbert discusses typical addict behavior and helps the viewer take a serious look at where<br />
addiction and getting high has taken them and how it has affected their behavior and caused them to react to various<br />
situations in their life. He explains how getting high pushes you away from your family and in many cases leads to the<br />
criminal element and unhealthy lifestyles.<br />
MY ATTITUDE, CHANGING PERSPECTIVES - Delbert continues to examine typical addict behavior and how an unhealthy<br />
attitude distorts the way you perceive information around you. Then he explains the importance of changing the way you do<br />
business with the world. He discusses how AA, NA, other 12-Step support groups and sponsors are a great way to help you<br />
develop a healthy positive attitude and can provide you with the support you will need to make the necessary changes and<br />
adjustments in your life to live a sober lifestyle.<br />
DEDICATING YOURSELF TO SOBRIETY - Delbert discusses early sobriety and the importance of letting a sponsor and 12-Step<br />
meetings help guide you through the despair, loneliness, guilt, fear and boredom of early sobriety. He addresses how getting<br />
high has filled their life with unhealthy behaviors and decisions, that they have basically been living their life in a vacuum<br />
and now in order to live a life of sobriety they have to work at filling their life with healthy decisions and a healthy lifestyle<br />
focused on being around healthy people. He explains how sobriety can be made easier if you learn to follow directions.<br />

TRIGGERING EFFECT by Claudia Black Ph.D.<br />
Putting your finger on the trigger of a gun indicates a bullet is about to be fired. For addicted persons, triggers are signals<br />
that they are entering a stage that brings them closer to relapse. Whether the client struggles with a substance or behavioral<br />
addiction, Dr. Claudia Black asks the viewer to think seriously about triggers and identify warning signs that one is entering a<br />
zone of jeopardy. Claudia sets the foundation for addressing triggers by using the analogy of how triggers are like a roller<br />
coaster that once it begins its downward descent, there is no turning back. Staying on the cutting edge of the field of<br />
addiction, she describes the relationship of triggers to brain chemistry and how triggers can hijack the brain's thinking and<br />
lead to relapse. She reinforces the concept that repeated recovery practices help to rewire the brain. With the use of eight<br />
actors, male and female of all ages, Claudia introduces and discusses six critical triggers. This video can be utilized with an<br />
individual client, in group settings and with families. #12316/0110 36 minutes 2009 Includes PDF Handouts $219.95<br />

people, input from Saul Selby (previously the Clinical Director at Hazelden) and Slick, an animated puppet that represents<br />
the addicted voice designed to help viewers gain insight into their own self destructive thinking process. Each program<br />

develop and increase their motivation to make changes<br />
need to recover from addiction.<br />
4) RELAPSE PREVENTION - Viewers will understand how<br />
to anticipate and manage cravings and triggers that cause<br />
relapse.<br />

their using pattern. Learn the seven DSM criteria for<br />
dependence as well as criteria for substance abuse so<br />
they can recognize them in themselves.<br />
6) RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY - Perhaps the most<br />
important task for people in early recovery is to avoid<br />

their taking responsibility for that anger in order to eliminate problems with relationships, getting and keeping jobs, and<br />
staying out of trouble with the law. He provides strategies and techniques that will help viewers change their behavior and<br />
take control of their lives. #11659/2180 Two parts 28 and 21 minutes 2007 $319.95<br />

ENCOUNTER GROUPS FOR ADDICTIONS<br />
Encounter groups are at the heart of therapeutic communities. They demonstrate a break from traditional addiction<br />
counseling techniques and have been proven to be an effective and important means for change. However, institutional<br />
demands including increased paperwork and funding cuts have recently threatened the livelihood of encounter groups. In this<br />
series, Rod Mullen creates a strong argument for how and why we need to keep the encounter group thriving. Illustrated with<br />
powerful and compelling vignettes from actual encounter groups, these videos explore how encounter groups have evolved,<br />
what we can do to improve groups and overcome pitfalls, and what the keys are to leading successful groups.<br />
Volume 1: EVOLUTION OF THE ENCOUNTER GROUP<br />
Mullen explores the evolution of encounter groups beginning with the first groups created by Synanon founder Chuck Dederich<br />
in the 1950s. Mullen discusses the essential elements of these first groups including honesty, authenticity and mutual selfhelp-elements<br />
that are still core to encounter groups today. He highlights that although the brutal confrontational style of<br />
the first groups have softened, the commitment to hold oneself and other accountable remains central. He also discusses the<br />
challenges that face encounter groups and offers guidance on how to work within managed care systems while holding on to<br />
the traditions that make encounter groups such an effective means for change. 65 minutes<br />
Volume II: PITFALLS AND SOLUTIONS<br />
Mullen walks us through several groups to show us what works and what does not work when facilitating an encounter group.<br />
He warns us of several traps facilitators can fall into: dominating the group, getting into power struggles, not being prepared<br />
or knowing the group members, and leading groups that are too large and don't go deep enough. Through numerous<br />
vignettes, he illustrates solutions to these common problems, and offers words of experience and wisdom to the encounter<br />
group facilitator: know your people, be prepared, get feedback, and listen, listen, listen! 75 minutes<br />
Volume III: KEYS TO FOSTERING GROWTH<br />
Mullen discusses several key components to fostering growth and change in groups. He first explores the "marathon group"<br />
and how these day or weeklong sessions can bring participants into deeper understanding of themselves and what they need<br />
to change. He then discusses the importance of moral growth and ways in which facilitators can lead groups to foster it by<br />
providing credible role models, healthy levels of conflict, role-reversal, and the teaching of responsibility. Finally, Mullen<br />
discusses the prevalence of PTSD among addicts and how encounter groups offer opportunities to heal from childhood abuse.<br />

FORENSICS SCHOOL: Inside a Criminal Justice Training Center<br />
For coursework involving difficult and sometimes disturbing material, it doesn't hurt to show students what their compatriots<br />
in other schools are going through. This series goes inside the Forensic Science and Police and Criminal Investigation program<br />
at the U.K.'s renowned University of Central Lancashire. Each episode focuses on a particular group of students as they sift<br />
through mock-ups of real-world crime scenes and put theory to the test in complex lab work. Featuring many practical skills<br />
and investigative processes needed to work in the criminal justice field, the series also helps shed light on career<br />
opportunities and choices. ***Viewer discretion is advised for all programs.<br />
BODIES, BLOOD, AND BALLISTICS - From the physics of bullet trajectories to the grim details of human decay, forensic<br />
science is a challenging discipline for any student to enter. This program ushers viewers into the prestigious Forensic Science<br />
department at the University of Central Lancashire in Great Britain. Tests and coursework involve ballistics experiments used<br />
to solve a shotgun shooting case; an introduction to blood splatter analysis at the school's mock crime scene facility; and an<br />
ordeal that every first-year forensics school scholar, regardless of his or her personal goals and sensitivities, is required to<br />
undergo - the Death and Decomposition lecture.<br />
HANDS-ON POLICE WORK - Fingerprint analysis, crime scene photography, the fine art of grave digging - these are only a few<br />
of the highlights on the path to mastering forensic science. This program follows the progress of students in the respected<br />
Forensic Science department at the University of Central Lancashire. As part of the Forensic Anthropology course, a thirdyear<br />
student has to put himself in the mind-set of a murderer as he learns how to dispose of human remains. Meanwhile,<br />
first-year students knuckle down at the school's mock crime scene facility for a practical test in fingerprinting and crime<br />
scene documentation within various simulated scenarios.<br />
CRIME SCENE CHRONICLES - Criminal investigators must be able to analyze any type of crime scene, be it a criminal's<br />
abandoned car or the elegant surroundings of a manor house. This program follows crime scene studies undertaken in the<br />
renowned Forensic Science department at the University of Central Lancashire in the U.K. Viewers accompany first-year<br />
Police and Criminal Investigation students as they gather evidence from within and outside mock automobiles; attempt to<br />
solve an armed robbery of wealthy partygoers through lab analysis of blood, fabric, and glass shards; and confront several<br />
other realistic and often gory crime scenarios.<br />
FROM CANINES TO COURTROOM - Although they perform a vital service, police dogs aren't the only creatures to keep track<br />
of at crime scenes - wild animals can play a role, too. This program studies the usefulness of canines and the often confusing<br />
influence of scavengers as it documents coursework at the University of Central Lancashire's Forensic Science department. In<br />
addition to portraying the police skills of man's best friend and the difficulty of locating victims' remains in a forest<br />
environment, the program also looks at preparations for a mock trial. Students in the Forensic Law module must organize and<br />
present findings as if they are expert witnesses delivering scientific testimony for the prosecution.<br />
GOODBYE CLASSROOM, HELLO CRIME - Creating a DNA profile, identifying skeleton parts, finding hidden graves - just a few<br />
loose ends to tie up before graduation! This program represents the culmination of three challenging years in the Forensic<br />
Science department at the University of Central Lancashire. But first, viewers follow a first-year student as she prepares for a<br />
genetic profiling exam and a second-year as she studies human infrastructure for an impending bone quiz. After two thirdyears<br />
face a final test in locating clandestine burial sites, it's on to the commencement party - where departing students<br />
reflect on their experiences, discuss career plans, and contemplate life after Forensics School.<br />

THE ART OF THE INTERVIEW - Featuring Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and documentary producer Patti<br />
Obrow White, this program explores the art and science of conducting journalistic interviews. White shares her knowledge of<br />
numerous topics, such as preparing to meet the subject, establishing a relationship quickly, understanding the pressure<br />
points of an interview, speaking with children, and dealing with difficult subjects like "the reactor", "the avoider", "the<br />
salesman", and "the bad guy". The result is an excellent resource for aspiring reporters, writers, and documentary producers,<br />
as well as police officers, private investigators, and attorneys. Employers - and job applicants seeking an employer's<br />

VOICES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS with Robert Firestone, PhD<br />
What prevents most people from being able to sustain romantic, meaningful relationships that satisfy their needs and desires?<br />
In this film, actual group participants identify negative thoughts or voices toward themselves and others that seriously impair<br />
their capacity for intimate relating. Dr. Robert Firestone helps them identify and understand this negative thought process,<br />
and challenge the self-defeating behavior patterns through the powerful technique of Voice Therapy. Voice Therapy quickly<br />
taps into clients' core negative beliefs and combines insight with deep effect in a way that profoundly shifts clients' point of<br />
view toward self and others to a more compassionate and realistic perspective. By verbalizing their negative thoughts in the<br />
second person, clients are able to separate themselves from their harsh and hostile inner voices. Through the use of this<br />
technique and further collaboration with the therapist on resisting destructive<br />
acting out and increasing positive behavior, clients gain greater levels of intimacy<br />
in their relationships, experience a lift in their depression, and resist relapse into<br />
self-defeating behaviors. #12823/1745 46 minutes 2009 $149.95<br />
GENDER AND COMMUNICATION: Styles and Stereotypes<br />
The moment someone declares, "It’s a boy!" or "It’s a girl!" the biological make up<br />
of that child isn’t the only thing established - a process of gendering begins and<br />
continues throughout that person’s life. One aspect of that process is how we learn<br />
to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways<br />
to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum<br />
of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate<br />
from the norm. #5101/1120 21 minutes 2009 $125.95<br />
MICHAEL KIMMEL ON GENDER: Mars, Venus or<br />
Planet Earth? Women and Men in a New Millennium<br />
We've heard again and again that men and women are<br />
engaged in a "battle of the sexes" that we are so<br />
differently wired and so foreign to each other that we<br />
might as well come from different planets. In this<br />
powerful new lecture, renowned speaker and bestselling<br />
author Michael Kimmel (The Gendered Society, Manhood<br />
in America) turns this conventional wisdom on its head.<br />
With clarity and humor, Kimmel moves beyond the<br />
popular inter-planetary notion that "men are from Mars<br />
and women are from Venus" to advance a decidedly more<br />
earth-bound and inter-connected view of things men and<br />
women have in common. This is an accessible and<br />
entertaining introduction to gender politics and gender<br />
theory - as intellectually informative as it is inspiring, and<br />
suited for use across a range of disciplines and courses.<br />

IN THE COMPANY OF WOMEN<br />
Women can be best friends or worst enemies. Women<br />
have profound emotional ties to other women. Even when<br />
a woman finds the male love of her life, the bonds she<br />
shares with female friends usually remain unshaken.<br />
However, when a woman gets promoted, who is often the<br />
first to attack? Other women, of course! In fact,<br />
relationships between women often polarize at two<br />
extremes: either they're truly wonderful or they're quite<br />
terrible. Why is this topic of critical importance today?<br />
Half of the workforce is women and when women are<br />
working well together, productivity and morale escalate<br />
throughout the entire organization. Drs. Heim and Murphy<br />
help viewers improve working relations based on lessons<br />

INVISIBLE RULES: Men, Women and Teams - Revised<br />
Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they<br />
have different rules regarding what is considered<br />
"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately, neither<br />
gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and<br />
often misread what is being communicated.<br />
Consequently, what seems natural to one gender culture<br />
can seem mysterious and baffling to the other. The<br />
differences are not right or wrong but they can result in<br />
confusion and conflict. By making these Invisible Rules<br />
visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis for better<br />

POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE AND OTHER GENDER<br />
DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE - Revised<br />
Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they<br />
have different rules regarding what is considered<br />
"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately neither<br />
gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and<br />
often misread what is being communicated. Women may<br />
see men as belligerent and insensitive. Men often see<br />
women as over-emotional. What they don't understand is<br />
that both men and women are doing what works in their<br />
own culture. Unfortunately, the same behavior can<br />
backfire across culture. Consequently, what seems natural<br />
to one gender culture can seem mysterious and baffling to<br />
the other. In her thoughtful and lively presentation Dr.<br />
Heim will explain some of the different rules of the male<br />
and female cultures and help viewers understand and<br />
learn to improve workplace communication between men<br />
and women instead of placing the blame on either gender.<br />

In this program, Karina Alexanyan of Columbia University outlines the functions of interpersonal communication,<br />
instrumental, prevention, phatic, affective, and deceptive forms; introduces the theory behind interpersonal communication;<br />
and teaches how to increase the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions. Explaining that communication cannot be<br />
separated from context and that context can be as important to communication as the words spoken, Alexanyan explores the<br />
variables that define context, including situation, style, function, participants, body language, and conscious and unconscious<br />
assumptions and intentions. She considers the influences of group affiliation and diversity on interpersonal interactions;<br />
discusses such facets of nonverbal communication as body language, personal appearance, proxemics, paralanguage, haptics,<br />
and chronemics; examines listening and offers tips to improve listening effectiveness; and covers such interpersonal skills as<br />
relating, conflict management, responding to self-disclosure, giving and receiving feedback, and enhancing communication<br />
with individuals from diverse backgrounds. The DVD includes vignettes that illustrate effective and ineffective interpersonal<br />
interactions. #12873/0880 25 minutes 2008 $259.95 *CC<br />
BODY LANGUAGE SERIES<br />
Some of your students may be bilingual and some may have taken a course in Spanish, Latin, or Japanese. But are any of<br />
them fluent in Kinesics? Kinesics is the study of body language as a form of communication. When we read a billboard, its<br />
message is usually larger than life and quite clear. Is it possible to read people's thoughts and feelings just by looking at<br />
them? Well, we can get pretty close if we learn to identify the silent signals they send. These two programs go “beyond<br />
words” and help us “read people”.<br />
BODY LANGUAGE I: Beyond Words - People engaged in a conversation may exchange 200 words per minute, but more than<br />
half of their communication is nonverbal. We often use gestures, postures and eye contact without thinking twice about<br />
them, but these behaviors can communicate so much beyond the words that we use. The way we treat our personal space<br />
and that of others can send a message that is loud and clear, even if we never speak a word. This program is an informative<br />
look into the fascinating world of nonverbal communication and guides viewers through the land of space wars, tongue<br />
showing, mirrored postures and the many layers that make up unspoken communication.<br />
BODY LANGUAGE II: Reading People<br />
We send signals all the time and may not even be aware of it. Gestures we use and faces we make send signals. The volume,<br />
speed and inflections of our voices communicate in ways that we many not intend. Through the study of emblems,<br />
illustrators, affect displays and eye behavior, a student of body language can gain insight to what people express beyond the<br />
words that they use. When people do use words, students can learn to identify and interpret paralanguage. This program<br />
provides valuable information about interpreting body language by presenting fun, easy to understand and real life examples.<br />
If your students apply this information and do some intelligent people watching, they'll see a whole new world of<br />
communication they may never have noticed.<br />

CHARISMA IN POLITICS: Analyzing Body<br />
Language<br />
Furrowed brows, widened eyes, clenched teeth - such<br />
signals reveal a great deal about our leaders, and they<br />
also influence our reactions to media images. This<br />
program investigates ways in which facial expressions and<br />
nonverbal communication determine political charisma<br />
and power. Presenting examples from a wide range of<br />
historical and current sources, the film shows how<br />
psychologists diagram and analyze media images of<br />
politicians. Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush,<br />
and Bill Clinton are studied, as well as French president<br />
Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.<br />
Commentators include the eminent psychologist Dr. Paul<br />

THE ART OF LISTENING<br />
We spend more time listening than any activity except breathing, yet we listen at only a fraction of our potential. This<br />
engaging program teaches practical techniques to use immediately and presents listening as a skill your students can learn,<br />
practice, and perfect. Uses home and workplace situations to teach seven "Laws of Good Listening". Illustrates the surprising<br />
value of attentive silence, the need to find something of interest in the person speaking, and the importance of staying out<br />
of the speaker's way. The techniques suggest how and when to take notes, the role of body language in listening, and the<br />
need to "listen between the words" for feelings. Explores how people use different "filtering systems" to give the same<br />
message completely different meanings. Each "law" is a key toward improved listening and communication.<br />

THE HOLLYWOOD LIBRARIAN: A Look at Librarians<br />
through Film<br />
They have more cardholders than VISA, more customers than Amazon, and<br />
more outlets than McDonald's. Meet America's librarians. This film is the<br />
first comprehensive treatment of the subject of librarians. A vivid blend of<br />
factual documentary, feature film, and storytelling, it reveals the history<br />
and realities of librarianship in the entertaining and appealing context of<br />
American movies. Interviews with actual librarians, intercut with film clips<br />
of cinematic librarians, examine such issues as literature, books and reading, censorship, library funding, citizenship and<br />
democracy. For the first time, we see and understand the real lives and real work of librarians who for decades have been a<br />
cultural force hiding in plain sight.This film's subject is librarians: who they are, what they do, why they do it, and the<br />
impact of their work in people's lives. The underlying meaning is how we express our own humanity, how we listen to<br />
ourselves and one another in the realm of the written and read word -- a uniquely human privilege. Audiences will be<br />
surprised and delighted by the fascinating librarians in this entertaining and enlightening film, and will emerge with a greater<br />
appreciation for the range of literature and materials available to them thanks to librarians. The DVD contains 30 minutes of<br />
bonus materials, including a Book Cart Drill Team featurette. #12760/0685 96 minutes 2007 Public Libraries $69.95 Others<br />

REMOTE CONTROL: Children, Media Consumption and the Changing<br />
American Family<br />
The average American child spends over 40 hours per week consuming media, the<br />
equivalent of a full-time job. This means that by the time children born today turn 30,<br />
they will have spent an entire decade of their lives in front of some type of screen.<br />
Remote Control, based on the findings of the Kaiser Family Foundation's landmark study<br />
"Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8 to 18-year-olds", examines the implications of<br />
this unprecedented level of exposure. Putting a human face on the report's statistical<br />
findings, filmmaker Bob McKinnon explores the media habits of two families,<br />
supplementing their powerful personal insights with testimony from media experts,<br />
educators, and policymakers. Remote Control offers a fascinating look at the centrality<br />
of media in our lives, revealing far-reaching effects that we are only beginning to<br />
understand, and suggesting ways we might begin to help our children live a life instead<br />
of watching one. #13020 38 minutes 2007 $129.95 (Colleges & Universities $249.95)<br />
CONSUMING KIDS: The Commercialization of Childhood<br />
With virtually no government or public outcry, the multi-billion dollar youth marketing<br />
industry has been able to use the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and<br />
neuroscience to transform North American children into one of the most powerful and<br />
profitable consumer demographics in the world. Kids now influence an estimated $700<br />
billion in annual spending, targeted virtually from birth with a relentless bombardment<br />
of sophisticated commercial appeals designed to sell everything from Hollywood<br />
merchandise and junk foods to iPods, cell phones, the family car and vacations. The result is that childhood itself has been<br />
commercialized. Drawing on the insights of experts, industry insiders, and children themselves, this program traces the<br />
evolution and impact of this disturbing and unprecedented phenomenon, exposing the youth marketing industry's<br />
controversial tactics and exploring the effect of hyper-consumerism on the actual lived experience of children.<br />

DREAMWORLDS III: Desire, Sex and Power in Music<br />
This groundbreaking program examines the stories contemporary music videos tell about girls and women, and encourages<br />
viewers to consider how these narratives shape individual and cultural attitudes about sexuality. Illustrated with hundreds of<br />
up-to-date images, offers a unique and powerful tool for understanding both the continuing influence of music videos and<br />
how pop culture more generally filters the identities of young men and women through a dangerously narrow set of myths<br />
about sexuality and gender. In doing so, it inspires viewers to reflect critically on images that they might otherwise take for<br />
granted. *Also available in a 35 minute abridged version DVD #11389 (edited for nudity, profanity, and length). Both full and<br />
abridged versions contain violence and sexual imagery. Viewer discretion advised.<br />

THE PRICE OF PLEASURE: Pornography, Sexuality and Relationships<br />
* IMPORTANT! This DVD contains two versions of this program. Viewer discretion is strongly advised on both - one is edited<br />
for some of the violence, nudity, and sexual imagery and the other full version contains blatant sex and violence unedited.<br />
Once relegated to the margins of society, pornography has become one of the most visible and profitable sectors of the<br />
cultural industries in the United States. It is estimated that the pornography industry's annual revenue has reached $13<br />
billion. At the same time, the content of pornography has become more aggressive, also more overtly sexist and racist.<br />
This film features the voices of consumers, critics, and pornography producers and performers. It is particularly revealing<br />
when male pornographers openly discuss their views about women and how men should relate to them, and when male and<br />
female porn users candidly discuss the role pornography has played in shaping their sexual imaginations and relationships.<br />
Honest and nonjudgmental, the film paints both a nuanced and complex portrait of how pleasure and pain, commerce and<br />
power, and liberty and responsibility are intertwined in the most intimate aspects of human relations. At the same time, the<br />
film examines the unprecedented role that commercial pornography now occupies in U.S. popular culture. Going beyond the<br />
debate of liberal versus conservative so common in the culture, this program provides a holistic understanding of<br />
pornography as it debunks common myths about the genre.<br />

BEAUTY MARK: Body Image and the Race for Perfection<br />
"A fresh, honest film about self-image and the disconnect between our minds and our bodies. Beauty Mark exposes the myriad<br />
emotional, cultural, and psychological influences that compel us to measure ourselves against an elusive standard of physical<br />
perfection -- sometimes at the price of our own health. Full of wisdom, hope and humor." Lois Dino,Jacob Burns Film Center<br />
How do our families influence our relationship with our own bodies? How do pop culture's standards of beauty get inside our<br />
hearts and heads? In what ways can sport and the drive for fitness actually make us sick rather than healthy? In this<br />
courageous, deeply personal new film, Diane Israel examines our culture's unhealthy fixation on thinness, beauty, and<br />
physical perfection. Israel, a Boulder-based psychotherapist and former champion triathlete, talks candidly about her own<br />
struggle with eating disorders and obsessive exercising, fearlessly confronting her own painful past as she attempts to come<br />
to terms with American culture's unhealthy fixation on self-destructive ideals of beauty and competitiveness. The film lends<br />
context to Israel's personal odyssey with fascinating insights from athletes, body builders, fashion models, and inner-city<br />
teens, as well as prominent cultural critics and authors such as Eve Ensler, Paul Campos, and Naomi Wolf. In a special bonus<br />
feature, Israel talks in detail about her where she is in her recovery 2 years after the filming of Beauty Mark.<br />

BEAUTY MYTH: The Culture of Beauty, Psychology, and the Self with<br />
Naomi Wolf<br />
On a sweeping historical canvas, from the Industrial Revolution to today’s multi-billiondollar<br />
diet and cosmetic industries, Naomi Wolf exposes the Beauty Myth as a distinct<br />
cultural narrative - a fiction that "beauty" exists objectively and universally. She next<br />
reveals why "beauty" must be understood within the power structures of political and<br />
economic systems - and how "beauty" is used as a kind of currency. She incisively<br />
illustrates how beauty is designed to sell products and support a hierarchical system of<br />
social relations - with devastating consequences for female well-being, and for our most<br />
intimate relationships. As women made powerful strides in economic and political<br />
spheres, the Beauty Myth took hold as a new set of fictions, and as a new sphere of<br />
control. She reveals how "beauty" came to replace domesticity as a core social virtue,<br />
with its own injunctions and prescriptions, not unlike religion itself. It really has little<br />
to do with appearances - but, instead, channels female identity into an ever-narrowing<br />
sphere of consumption, competition, and anxiety. From workplace equality and sexual<br />
harassment, to cosmetic surgery and eating disorders, to the very core of social and<br />
romantic relationships, Wolf powerfully illuminates the psychological and physiological<br />
ravages of the Beauty Myth.<br />

GENERATION M: Misogyny in Media and Culture<br />
For all of the achievements of the women’s movement over the past four decades, misogyny remains a persistent force in<br />
American culture. In this important new documentary, Thomas Keith, Professor of Philosophy at California State University-<br />
Long Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism in mainstream American media, exploring how negative definitions of<br />
femininity and hateful attitudes toward women get constructed and perpetuated at the very heart of our popular culture.<br />
The film tracks the destructive dynamics of misogyny across a broad and disturbing range of media phenomena: from the<br />
hyper-sexualization of commercial products aimed at girls, to the explosion of gender violence in video games aimed at boys;<br />
from the near-hysterical sexist rants of hip-hop artists and talk radio shock jocks, to the continually harsh, patronizing<br />
caricature of feminism found in virtually every area of American pop culture. Along the way, Generation M forces us to<br />
confront the dangerous real-life consequences of misogyny in all of its forms, making a compelling case that when we<br />
devalue more than half the population based on gender, we harm boys and men as well as women and girls. Featuring<br />
interviews with gender violence prevention educators Byron Hurt, Jackson Katz, and Jean Kilbourne; Kimberly Salter<br />
(National Organization for Women); Nancy Gruver (Founder and CEO, New Moon Media); and others.<br />

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: Resistance and Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property<br />
narrated by Naomi Klein<br />
In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa)<br />
trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts<br />
creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts,<br />
classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod's award-winning<br />
book of the same title, Freedom of Expression® charts the many successful attempts to push back this assault by overzealous<br />
copyright holders. Freedom of Expression® is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists,<br />
librarians, and more.<br />

MILITAINMENT INC: Militarism and Pop Culture<br />
This program offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture,<br />
examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and "reality television" in its<br />
glamorization of war. Mobilizing an astonishing range of media examples - from news anchors' idolatry of military machinery<br />
to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting - the film asks: How has war taken its place in the culture as an<br />
entertainment spectacle? And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of citizens to evaluate the<br />
necessity and real human costs of military action? The film is broken down into nine sections, each between 10 and 20<br />
minutes in length, allowing for in-depth classroom analysis of individual elements of this wide-ranging phenomenon.<br />

viewers with the techniques of war propaganda, War Made Easy encourages us to think critically about the messages put out<br />
by today's spin doctors - messages which are designed to promote and prolong a policy of militarism under the guise of the<br />
"war on terror." Based on the book by the same title. #11183/0685 72 minutes 2007 $159.95 Colleges/Universities $249.95)<br />
THE MEDIA LITERACY SERIES<br />
The average person is exposed to more than 3,000 commercial messages each day - and probably will not recognize almost 80<br />
percent of them. Use this timely and informative two-part series to deepen your understanding of media's influence and to<br />
train students to critically analyze media messages before accepting them.<br />
TEACHING MEDIA LITERACY: Asking Questions - This program explains how to teach media literacy through the application<br />
of three basic facts and five key analytical questions that can be applied to any media message. This simple and highly<br />
effective approach is reinforced by insights and observations provided by important figures in the media literacy movement,<br />
including Elizabeth Thoman, Tessa Jolls, and Jeff Share, of the Center for Media Literacy. Fight passive consumerism and<br />
promote critical thinking with Teaching Media Literacy. Previously sold individually. 31 minutes<br />
UNDERSTANDING MEDIA LITERACY - TV and radio commercials, Web sites and banner ads, magazine ads, pop songs, photos,<br />
and even news articles and textbooks: all of them are sending messages to influence the reader/viewer/listener. How do<br />
they grab the attention? What are they selling - a product or service? a lifestyle? an ideology? - and why? Would a different<br />
media consumer interpret the message differently? This program raises more questions than it answers, which is the whole<br />
point: to prompt students to question, question, question the messages they are bombarded with daily. Savvy media<br />
consumers aren't born; they're made, and this program is an excellent tool for shaping the classroom dialogue. 35 minutes<br />

SEXUAL AND RACIAL STEREOTYPES IN THE MEDIA<br />
Sexual and racial stereotypes are constantly being redefined and reinforced on TV and in movies, in magazines and on the<br />
Web, in video games - practically everywhere. They frame perceptions, reinforce prejudices, and promote a fear of the<br />
"other". This series scrutinizes the media in order to both expose and understand common sources of bias and the intentions<br />
behind them. Expert commentary is provided by Carolyn Kitch, director of the Mass Media and Communication program at<br />
Temple University; Oscar Gandy, professor emeritus at the Annenberg School for Communication; and NPR's Bob Garfield,<br />
cohost of On the Media. The series consists of two programs:<br />

Categorizing others is a part of human nature, and even<br />
Although demeaning and offensive racial stereotypes were<br />

much more sensitive to representations of race today. But<br />
person's character and value, they become gender bias or the pernicious effects of that stereotyping live on in the<br />
outright sexism. This program illustrates some of the<br />
new racism arising from disparities in the treatment of<br />
commercial, cultural, psychological, and sociological<br />
stories involving whites and people of color in a ratings-<br />
forces that have shaped sexual stereotypes in the media, driven news market, media-enhanced isolationism as a<br />

NO LOGO: Brands, Globalization and Resistance<br />
Naomi Klein, acclaimed journalist and author, examines the rise of<br />
international branding and the grassroots anti-corporate campaigns<br />
it has inspired. She asks viewers to consider the costs of<br />
globalization, including the disappearance of public space, consumer<br />
choice, and stable, meaningful work. Analyzing how brands like<br />
Nike, The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols<br />
worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby<br />
corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products<br />
(outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in<br />
creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.<br />

BRAZIL: An Inconvenient History<br />
"An outstanding film, winner of the Houston Film Festival Gold Award, directed by Phil Grabsky."<br />
At first glance Brazil appears to be an alluring playground of exciting carnivals, sultry samba, divine football and a vibrantly<br />
diverse people. But behind this dazzling facade lies a disturbing story of history's largest-ever slave population. Astonishingly<br />
Brazil, a Portuguese colony, received ten times more African slaves than the numbers transported to North America. This<br />
program looks at those estimated 4 million people with whose blood, sweat and tears Brazil was built. Without them none of<br />
Brazil's present-day success and appeal would exist. Using contemporary testimonies, this film takes a hard look at Brazil's<br />
dark history through the eyes of those slaves. They lived in squalid conditions on remote plantations or in teeming cities<br />
harbouring fatal diseases. Most Africans survived only seven years in this 'New World'. Some, however, did survive to create a<br />
new culture - a fusion of African and European. This new ethnicity permeates and explains the modern Brazilian way of life.<br />

freedoms two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Features groundbreaking cases from the Council of Europe's Court of<br />
Human Rights in three post-Soviet countries - conflicts of justice, freedom and human rights - the victims and the powers<br />

BLOOD AND OIL: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependence on Foreign Petroleum<br />
Against the chaotic backdrop of the spiraling death toll in Iraq, mounting outrage over rising gasoline and oil prices, and new<br />
questions about the Bush administration's justifications for going to war, this program details how U.S. energy and national<br />
security policy have become virtually inseparable. Based on Michael T. Klare's critically-acclaimed book of the same title, this<br />

BLIND SPOT: Peak Oil and the Coming Global Crisis<br />
In this haunting portrait of America's oil-fueled excesses, director Adolfo Doring explores the inextricable link between the<br />
energy we use, the way we run our economy, and the multiplying threats that now confront the environmental health and<br />
stability of our planet. Taking as its starting point the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film<br />
surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political, and scientific thought to make the case that by whatever<br />
measure of greed, wishful thinking, neglect, or ignorance, we now find ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue<br />
to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and witness the collapse of our economy.<br />
Refusing to whitewash this reality, Blind Spot issues a call to action, urging us to face up to the perilous situation we now<br />
find ourselves in so that we might begin to envision a realistic, if inconvenient, way out. Certain to inspire debate in<br />
classrooms across a range of disciplines, especially in economics, environmental studies, the natural sciences, and political<br />
science. DVD #13016/0685 42 minutes 2009 $189.95 (College & University $319.95)<br />

their way clandestinely with a group of rebels into the heart of the<br />
Sudanese war zone, they chronicle stories of unfathomable human despair<br />
and courage: NGOs struggling to get food to the starving, refugees fighting<br />
for water, waves of people battered by civil war and incomprehensible<br />
violence stumbling into camps on the edge of survival. Succeeds brilliantly<br />
in capturing the human face behind this geopolitical crisis.<br />

LIVE FROM BETHLEHEM<br />
The Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency (MNA) emerged out of the ashes<br />
of the second Intifada to become the only independent news network in<br />
the Palestinian Territories and an increasingly prominent and influential<br />
journalistic force in the wider Middle East. Live from Bethlehem tells<br />
MNA's remarkable story. It chronicles the agency's struggles and successes<br />
through the eyes of the station's reporters, producers, and photographers,<br />
in the process quietly revealing the humanity of ordinary Palestinians as<br />
they go about their daily business. The documentary trains its focus on<br />
people more than on abstract issues, yet it never loses sight of the myriad<br />
social and political forces and pressures that Ma'an journalists are forced<br />
to negotiate as they try to gather and report balanced information. What<br />
results is an admirably nuanced portrait of how news gets produced, and<br />
how Palestinians live, in one of the world's most troubled regions.<br />

PERSONALLY SPEAKING: A Long Conversation with Stuart Hall<br />
Stuart Hall is a foundational figure in the influential interdisciplinary field known as cultural studies. In this stimulating and<br />
eloquent four-hour interview, conducted by the literary journalist Maya Jaggi and directed by Mike Dibb, Hall reflects on his<br />
life and career, talking personally and in depth about the trajectory of his work and how it has intersected with broader<br />
political movements. In a conversation both intimate and sweeping in scope, Hall describes his migration from Jamaica to<br />
England, his immersion in left-wing politics in London, the influence of Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson on the<br />
evolution of his thought, and the context within which the early classic texts of cultural studies were written. Hall also shares<br />
his pessimism about the economic recession and his optimism about Barack Obama's victory. Future analysis of Hall's work,<br />
and of cultural studies in general, will need to take account of this fascinating and indispensable first-person account of his<br />
life and ideas. *Broken into short sections to facilitate use in the classroom.<br />

AMERICA BETRAYED<br />
"A smart, galvanizing documentary... the film argues persuasively, private interests repeatedly trump public interests."<br />
Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters.com<br />
One of America's proudest achievements, its national infrastructure, is now its most dangerous embarrassment. Bridges,<br />
dams, levees and highways are crumbling, toppling, being washed away, and putting American citizens and cities at risk. How<br />
could the most powerful nation on the planet let this happen? Narrated by Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss and<br />
directed by Emmy Award-winning investigative broadcast journalist Leslie Cardé, this timely and riveting story of waste,<br />
fraud, and abuse at the highest levels of our government exposes how much-needed funding is misappropriated for<br />
questionable uses, how the Army Corps of Engineers (charged with ensuring that the infrastructure stays intact) is more<br />
concerned with self-serving transitions into corporate America, and how taxpayer dollars have been wasted building other<br />
nation's infrastructures and not their own. It is the story of how lobbyists and greedy politicians funnel money to pet<br />
projects; how those sent to investigate and police abuses are often bribed into silence, and how shoddy planning and<br />
construction frequently contribute to the erosion and destruction of America's cities.<br />
Featuring interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times<br />
and TIME Magazine, noted scientists from Berkeley and Harvard, U.S. Senators and Congressmen, and the whistleblowers who<br />
risked their lives and careers to speak out, this searing documentary is both a cautionary tale for those who trust their<br />
government, and a wake-up call to Washington and Americans everywhere. #12726/0645 94 minutes 2008 $249.95<br />
ABE OSHEROFF: One Foot in the Grave, the Other Still Dancing<br />
Most people knew Abe Osheroff as an activist. For most of his 92 years - from the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War to the<br />
picket lines of the U.S. labor movement, from the struggles for civil rights in Mississippi to his work for human rights in<br />
Nicaragua - Osheroff threw himself into the fray with rare energy and enthusiasm. In this riveting and inspiring new film,<br />
Osheroff reflects on the meaning of his activism, exploring the ideas that animated his actions and sharing wisdom built up<br />
over a lifetime of commitment to the "radical humanism" that defined his politics and philosophy. DVD #13019 46 minutes<br />

MADE IN CHICAGO: The Making of Barack Obama<br />
It was in Chicago, Barack Obama's adopted hometown, that the 24-year-old future President of the United States began a<br />
personal and political odyssey that would take him all the way to the White House. In this program, many of the people who<br />
have known Obama best since his arrival in Chicago offer their insights. Obama's work as a community organizer, his<br />
achievements at Harvard Law School, the writing of Dreams from My Father, his brief stints as a law professor at The<br />
University of Chicago and as a civil rights lawyer, and his meteoric political career are all discussed. The program ends with<br />
Obama's victory in the 2008 primaries and his speech on the issue of race in the wake of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's<br />
controversial "God Damn America" sermon. Additional portions of Obama oratory are included throughout.<br />

from pogroms to near annihilation in the Holocaust, how did the Jews endure while so many other communities vanished? The<br />

THE FINEST HOUR: The Battle of Britain - The Battle of Britain In the spring of 1940, Holland, Belgium, and France fell to<br />

great peril it was Britain alone that faced the Nazi army, and a nation's darkest hour became its finest.<br />
BATTLE OF THE BULGE - In mid-1944, it looked as if the war in Europe was coming to an end. Hitler was on the run and the<br />
Allies had triumphantly regained Paris, as well as Casablanca and Tripoli, Naples, and Rome. However, Hitler had one final<br />
card to play, and in December he struck back with a brutal counterattack. The Battle of the Bulge was the single biggest and<br />

1812 AND ALL THAT! A War That Decided the Future of Canada<br />
On the eve of the War of 1812, British and American commanders joined in a toast to the King and President. Then they went<br />
off to battle one another in a four-year bloodbath that decided the future of Canada. Two centuries of peace have dimmed<br />
memories of the 1812 War, now just a date in Canada's history. Through vivid dramatizations, this program underscores the<br />
significance of the War, while capturing its horrors, and the military tactics of both American and British commanders. Amid<br />
muskets and cannon, the wounded and the dying, the victories and the defeats, the human drama of the 1812 War emerges:<br />
soldiers' wives who must remarry immediately if their husbands were killed; surgeons and nurses desperately striving to save<br />
lives; regiments of black freed slaves and the 30 Aboriginal nations from across the continent who fought beside the British.<br />
For educators seeking dramatic history course content, including battle grounds, military trails, and strategically important<br />
buildings, 1812 AND ALL THAT provides glimpses into lives disrupted forever by the War of 1812 - a war that decided the<br />

THE FALLEN FEATHER: Canada’s Indian Residential Schools<br />
"It is important for us to be reminded that the Residential Schools were all about the eradication of Indianess in the<br />
country. They were designed to do away with the Indian fact in the country. And to mould us into something that obviously<br />
we could never be." National Chief Phil Fontaine<br />
The FALLEN FEATHER provides an in-depth critical analysis of the driving forces behind the creation of Canadian Indian<br />
Residential Schools. Using historical source documents, survivors personal testimonies and detailed analysis from community<br />
leaders, the film explores in detail, the Federal Governments primary motivation in the creation of these Schools. While<br />
examining the influences of Indian wars, Sir John A MacDonald’s National Policy, Land Claims issues, the film details how all<br />
of these events and visions contributed to the development of these Schools. The film argues that the lasting effects that<br />
First Nations in Canada suffer today, can be traced back directly to their experiences within these schools. Finally, we as<br />
Canadians are all challenge to re-examine our shared history. *Includes 35-page comprehensive Guide<br />

RETURN OF THE RIVER<br />
This incredible production is a sequel to "Heart of the People" (1997 Gemini Nomination). "Return of the River" is a story of<br />
struggle and survival: the Huu-ay-aht First Nations on the west coast of Vancouver Island and their ongoing efforts to bring<br />
back their river, destroyed decades ago by clear-cut logging and commercial fishing. This documentary traces the amazing<br />
progress the Huu-ay-aht have made in their attempts to restore their river, culture and language - since embarking on this<br />
project in the early 1900's. A powerful, emotional film which shows how strong leadership and the will of the people, can<br />
move mountains... and rivers. The film brilliantly presents a unique model for other aboriginal peoples facing similar<br />
dilemmas around the world: partnering with industry to undo the damage done; first steps in a brave new world facing the<br />
daily destruction of forests and resources. "Return of the River" is required viewing for all ages, but especially anyone who<br />
believes we're too late to start making a difference. #12448/0735 50 minutes 2008 $159.95 *Canadian Production<br />

SPIRITS FOR SALE<br />
When Annika is given an eagle feather by a Native American visiting Sweden, she<br />
realizes it is a sacred object which should probably not be in her hands. These days<br />
Native American ceremonies are being commercialized for "outsiders," arousing<br />
resentment in the Native community. Annika sets out to find the feather's rightful<br />
owner, a quest which takes her to American Indian communities in Albuquerque, San<br />
Antonio and to Bear Butte in South Dakota. She meets many Native Americans who are<br />
bitter, believing they are "the forgotten people." But others are fighting to preserve<br />
their culture and their faith as well as to protect their land. Navajo Andrew Thomas,<br />
who manages the Albuquerque Pueblo Center, explains that certain tribes use feathers<br />
in special ways to c ommunicate with "the Upper God." He fears modern Native<br />
Americans have lost touch with the ancient beliefs. In this film we hear from a professor<br />
of Native American history in San Antonio who discusses the five hundred tribes who<br />
lived in the US centuries ago and recalls the massacres they suffered. Gayle Ross, a<br />
respected Cherokeeteacher, feels Americans do not understand native people. Arvol<br />
Looking Horse of the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota nation is deeply disturbed by the entire<br />
arena of cultural exploitation. #13031/0605 58 minutes 2008 $359.95<br />

BLACK INDIANS: An American Story<br />
Winner of many awards including the CINE GOLDEN EAGLE, this program brings to light a forgotten part of America's past -<br />
the cultural and racial fusion of Native and African Americans. Narrated by James Earl Jones, explores what brought the two<br />
groups together, what drove them apart and the challenges they face today. A society that wants to build the future must<br />
know its past, its real past, as it was. But what if that past had been lost, forgotten, hidden, or denied? This in-depth<br />
documentary examines the coalescence of these two groups in American history. #12424/1830 60 minutes 2004 $189.95<br />
WE SHALL REMAIN<br />
A provocative series that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five heartbreaking, yet inspiring<br />
stories highlight Native ingenuity and resilience over the course of 300 years. Upends two-dimensional stereotypes of<br />
American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land. Programs include:<br />
1. AFTER THE MAYFLOWER - In 1621, Massasoit, sachem of<br />
the Wampanoags of New England negotiated a treaty with<br />
Pilgrim settlers. A half-century later, as a brutal war flared<br />
between the English and a confederation of Indians, this<br />
diplomatic gamble seemed to have been a grave<br />
miscalculation.<br />
2. TECUMSEH'S VISION - In the course of his brief and<br />
meteoric career, Tecumseh would become one of the<br />
greatest Native American leaders of all time, orchestrating<br />
the most ambitious pan-Indian resistance movement ever<br />
mounted on the North American continent. After his death<br />
he would live on as a potent symbol of Native pride and pan<br />
Indian identity.<br />
3. TRAIL OF TEARS - Though the Cherokee embraced<br />

"civilization" and won recognition of tribal sovereignty in<br />
the U.S. Supreme Court, their resistance to removal from<br />
their homeland failed. Thousands were forced on a perilous<br />
march to Oklahoma.<br />
4. GERONIMO - As the leader of the last Native American<br />
fighting force to capitulate to the U.S. government,<br />
Geronimo was seen by some as the perpetrator of<br />
unspeakable savage cruelties, while to others he was the<br />
embodiment of proud resistance.<br />
5. WOUNDED KNEE - In 1973, American Indian Movement<br />
activists and residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation<br />
occupied the town of Wounded Knee, demanding redress for<br />
grievances. As a result of the siege, Indians across the<br />
country forged a new path into the future.<br />

CREATIVE VIOLATION: The Rebel Art of the Street Stencil<br />
Called art by some and vandalism by others, street art transforms the depersonalized, over-commercialized urban landscape<br />
into a forum for self-expression. Filmed in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, this edgy program documents the<br />
exploding underground art form of street stenciling and explores its roots in political street art, industrial signage, and<br />
freehand graffiti. John MacPhee, author of Stencil Pirates, and other stencil artists pose critical questions about the role of<br />
free speech in public spaces as they describe their motives and demonstrate their methods. Transgressive, subversive,<br />
creative: that's the rebel art of the street stencil. #12737/0635 24 minutes 2007 $129.95<br />

REALISM: The Artistic Form of the Truth<br />
It is a creative impulse as old as humanity itself: to depict life faithfully, accurately, in words or images. This program shows<br />
how that impulse led to Realism - a widespread artistic movement, born in the latter half of the 19th century, which<br />
rejected pretense, distortion, and sentimentality. Incorporating interviews with art historians and literary scholars, the<br />
program explores the sociopolitical origins of the phenomenon in the 1848 Revolution in France and the concurrent wave of<br />
industrialization that swept Europe and America. Luminous images by Édouard Manet, Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet,<br />
and Honoré Daumier - along with the unflinching writings of Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Émile Zola, Leo Tolstoy,<br />
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, August Strindberg, and Heinrik Ibsen - are analyzed and compared with the work of<br />
Thomas Eakins, George Bellows, Mark Twain, Jack London, Stephen Crane, and others. The contributions of early<br />
photographers and filmmakers, as well as the first stirrings of feminism, are also examined.<br />

THE LOST TEMPLE OF JAVA<br />
Borobudur in Central Java is unique. In the shape of a pyramid, with four square terraces leading to three circular ones, this<br />
extraordinary building is covered with three miles of stone carvings. Situated on a lush palm-covered volcanic plain, this is a<br />
building that deserves the title of 'eighth wonder of the world'. Remarkably, this massive construction lay deserted and<br />
obscured by jungle for over 1000 years, only to be to be re-discovered in 1814 by the maverick Englishman Sir Thomas<br />
Stamford Raffles. Following the complete renovation of its 1.6 million blocks of volcanic stone, this program answers the<br />
many questions surrounding these enigmatic ruins and reveals its untold tale.<br />

INSIDE THE KORAN "This thoughtful, intelligent documentary asks all the right questions." - The Guardian (London)<br />
"A remarkable documentary. The audience will understand the difference between culture and religion."<br />
Mike Ghouse, President, World Muslim Congress<br />
The Koran is one of the most ideologically influential texts in the world, with over a billion Muslims following its precepts.<br />

BRAIN-COMPATIBLE PRACTICES FOR THE CLASSROOM: Special Education Version<br />
Given the overwhelming amount of research being conducted on the human brain, it is imperative for educators to identify<br />
those instructional practices that best align with the findings of those studies. Too often it is fashionable for instructional<br />

instruction becomes a "foundation" to educational practices, and not a passing "fad", Dr. Pat Wolfe, author and<br />

with the high volume of brain research inundating the field of education today. Visit classrooms where students with<br />
disabilities are benefiting from brain-compatible instructional strategies as an integral part of their day; hear from staff who<br />
are effectively using brain compatible strategies such as Response to Intervention, and learn how to become educated<br />
consumers by differentiating the realities of brain research from its many myths. #11702/1435 56 minutes 2008 $129.95 *CC<br />

WALKING ON OIL: Alberta's Oil Sands<br />
This program focuses on this huge fuel resource and the hazards and threats it poses to the environment. The fuel from the<br />
tar sands is thick and heavy, bound to water and sand. Extraction and refinement of the oil requires an enormous amount of<br />
energy and water, and destroys countless miles of irreplaceable forest land. Tar sands oil production creates 2 to 3 times as<br />
much greenhouse gas as production of conventional oil, thus contributing greatly to global warming. Enormous machinery is<br />
used to remove trees, rocks, soil and sand from the earth. Once the tar sands are removed, the resulting huge holes in the<br />
ground remain along with toxic, water-borne tailings. As the Greenland ice cap melts, it may raise ocean levels by 20 feet,<br />
flooding major cities and coastlines worldwide. As a world together, we have to make the right decisions about the<br />
extraction and use of Alberta's immense oil resource. #12164/2003 60 minutes 2008 $149.95<br />
CATCHING THE SUN: The Physics of Solar Energy<br />
Two forms of energy that we use every day are electrical energy and heat. During the 20th century we came to rely on fossil<br />
fuels as the ultimate source of these energy forms but now, energy from renewable sources is becoming more commonly<br />
used. This program investigates the three main ways in which we currently use solar energy to power our homes: solar hot<br />
water, solar photovoltaic - solar panels to generate electricity directly, and solar thermal arrays that use heat from sunlight<br />
to generate electricity in large commercial plants. We explain the science involved in each type in straightforward terms,<br />
look at practical considerations and take a look at new developments in this exciting area of renewable energy generation.<br />

TERRA REPORT: A World of Trouble<br />
The health of our planet is not so different from the health of the human body - it greatly depends on our personal habits and<br />
our willingness to confront problems. Akin to a doctor's cautionary findings, this five-part series reveals many of the dangers<br />
threatening the natural world as well as specific socioeconomic factors entwined with them. Footage that is both luminous<br />
and unflinching shows the human realities of environmental devastation, species extinction, famine, starvation, and political<br />
instability in Africa, Asia, and South America.<br />
GLOBAL DUMP: Toxic Waste and the Planetary Ecosystem - While international corporations boast of newfound<br />
environmental stewardship, toxic materials are still produced on a worldwide scale - with underdeveloped nations serving as<br />
the planet’s dump site. This program explores the issue, traveling to Asia, Africa, and Latin America to illustrate the effects<br />
of industrial waste on the environment, social systems, and human life. Viewers will gain an understanding of several topics:<br />
the impact of pesticides and other chemical products, the role of large-scale food waste, the dangers low-wage workers face<br />
as they pick through urban trash heaps, and more. Images of discarded ships rusting in shallow harbors epitomize Western<br />
wastefulness and compose one of many powerful sequences in the film.<br />
A WORLD APART: Global Inequality and its Consequences - A growing number of environmentalists, ethicists, and<br />
economists believe that the needs of the "have-nots" will one day become too powerful to ignore. This program highlights<br />
that viewpoint, illustrating vast disparities between the living standards of developed and underdeveloped nations and<br />
questioning the wisdom of looking the other way. Deconstructing conventional economic notions of production and<br />
consumption, the film examines the role of Western corporations in environmental problems - such as deforestation,<br />
destructive mining, and land mine infestation in Africa, Asia, and South America. These problems are linked to global<br />
economic issues, such as lack of access to capital markets and dependence on foreign aid.<br />
FOOD FOR ALL: Global Agriculture and the Developing World - Satisfying one’s hunger is a primal act which most<br />
Westerners never connect to global issues. But the diets and farming systems of wealthy countries can be directly linked to<br />
starvation in the underdeveloped world. This program sheds light on the international tragedy of hunger and malnutrition,<br />
emphasizing that the problem is one of distribution, not production. Filmed in Asia, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa,<br />
the film shows how geopolitics, economic isolation, regional conflicts, and lack of infrastructure render poor countries unable<br />
to feed their own people. Biotechnology, land use priorities, government corruption, the fast food industry, and the vicious<br />
cycle of child hunger are all featured topics. Contains scenes of breastfeeding.<br />
WHO'S DESTROYING THE FOREST? A Global Analysis - Forests protect and nurture humanity in a variety of ways. Why, then,<br />
does deforestation continue? Who is responsible for it? This program analyzes the problem through a socioeconomic lens,<br />
drawing connections between corporate interests, food security concerns, and annihilation of the planet’s woodlands.<br />
Outlining the history of deforestation from Roman times to WWII, the film focuses on the rise of clear-cut and slash-and-burn<br />
practices associated with colonialism, 20th-century capitalism, and the Green Revolution. Viewers will gain insight into<br />
political and economic systems that favor lumber, mining, and large agricultural companies - while ignoring the needs of<br />
forest ecosystems and forest-dwelling peoples in Asia, Africa, and South America.<br />
OVER-EXPLOITING THE OCEANS: The Dangers of Over-Fishing - How long will the biosphere tolerate exploitation of the<br />
oceans? Are local fishermen a doomed species? What can be done to reverse the decline of fish stocks around the planet? This<br />
program documents the environmental and socioeconomic costs of excessive fishing. The film contrasts ancient maritime<br />
practices - like those of Mauritania’s Imragen fishermen and Djibouti’s pearl divers and lobster hunters - with large-scale<br />
fishing off Africa’s coasts. It also raises awareness of financial and political factors, such as the granting of monopolies to<br />
corporations and consortiums and the failure of international regulations to prevent illegal fishing. The harm caused by trawl<br />
and gill nets, as well as the risks and benefits of aquaculture, are crucial topics.<br />

HEAVY WATER: A Film for Chernobyl<br />
This film by David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky uses Mario Petrucci's award-winning poem "Heavy Water", to tell the story of<br />
the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and its catastrophic aftermath. On April 26th, 1986, reactor four at Chernobyl Nuclear Power<br />
Plant explodes, sending an enormous radioactive cloud over northern Ukraine and neighboring Belarus. The danger is not<br />
immediately communicated and the local population goes about its business as usual. May Day celebrations begin, children<br />
play, and the residents of Pripyat, the town built to house the workers at Chernobyl, marvel at the spectacular fire raging at<br />
the reactor. After three days, an area the size of England becomes contaminated with radioactive dust, creating a 'zone' of<br />
contaminated land. This is the story of the people who dealt with the world's worst nuclear disaster at ground level: the firefighters,<br />
the soldiers, the 'liquidators' and their families. #12129/1893 52 minutes 2006 $279.95<br />
LIVING WITH CHERNOBYL: The Future of Nuclear Power<br />
The world's worst nuclear accident occurred in the former Soviet Union on April 26, 1986. Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear power<br />
plant exploded, sending radioactive debris over a large area of Northern Europe. Dire predictions were made at the time<br />
about the consequences of the radioactive fallout. What really happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant following the<br />
accident? What is fact and what myth and misconception? The scare of Chernobyl solidified America's rejection of the nuclear<br />
power industry and has been a major force driving nuclear energy policy in the United States ever since. That may change<br />
now. Fear of global warming has fractured the environmental movement on nuclear energy. Nuclear is one of the few largescale<br />
carbon-free energy sources, yet the very real dangers caused by our nuclear waste storage policy are still unresolved.<br />
This documentary explores these issues, and the dilemmas created, in large part, by our emotional response to nuclear.<br />

BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE 21ST CENTURY - Biotechnology is revolutionizing life in the 21st century, but with every<br />
breakthrough comes controversy. Do the benefits of stem cell technology, gene-splicing, and other advances outweigh the<br />
risks? Using interviews with experts, footage of scientists at work, 3-D animations, and on-screen text, this balanced series<br />
introduces viewers to a field of science - and the pressing issues associated with it - that is rapidly changing the world.<br />
BIOINFORMATICS, GENOMICS, AND PROTEOMICS: Getting the Big Picture - If the 20th century was the era of physics and<br />
nuclear fission, the 21st belongs to the life sciences. Moving from gene, to genome, to genetically based diseases, this<br />
program provides an overview of the interrelated fields of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on<br />
practical applications of biotechnology to the field of medicine. Are genetically personalized drugs around the next corner?<br />
BIOTECHNOLOGY AND YOUR HEALTH: Pharmaceutical Applications - Scientists have come a long, long way since Alexander<br />
Fleming’s discovery of penicillin, the wonder drug of the 20th century. This program explains the function of infectionfighting<br />
antibiotics; vaccinations and insulin, crucial to the prevention of diseases such as smallpox and the management of<br />
diabetes; recombinant drugs, treatments involving genetically engineered DNA; and stem cells, those chameleon-like building<br />
blocks of the body. 24 minutes<br />
BIOTECHNOLOGY ON THE FARM AND IN THE FACTORY: Agricultural and Industrial Applications - As the world’s population<br />
and overall standard of living continue to increase, the growing demand for food, fuel, and consumer products has reached<br />
unprecedented levels. This program examines how biotechnology is helping to meet those needs through genetic engineering<br />
to increase crop yields and improve the nutritional value of key staple foods; animal agriculture, founded on selective<br />
breeding and edging toward lab-based genetic engineering; and industrial applications<br />
of biotech in the manufacturing of chemicals, textiles, beverages, and fuel.<br />
THE ETHICS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY - The Nuclear Age - sprung upon the world with the<br />
atomic bomb - remains a bitter memory. How biotechnology, with its power to change<br />
life on Earth at the most fundamental level, will be viewed in the decades to come<br />
depends on decisions being made right now. This program confronts viewers with<br />
some of the ethical and moral implications of cloning, stem cell research, and animal<br />
testing. 24 minutes<br />

ESSENTIAL CHEMISTRY SERIES<br />
Filmed at Widener University and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, this fiveprogram<br />
series spotlights foundational aspects of chemistry that every science student needs to know. Footage of laboratory<br />
experiments reinforcing important concepts, sophisticated animations illustrating technical points of discussion, and<br />
commentary by experts passionate about science.<br />
ATOMS, MOLECULES, AND COMPOUNDS - All matter in the observable universe - from a single blade of grass to a planet in a<br />
faraway galaxy - is made up of atoms, molecules, and compounds. This program introduces these minuscule building blocks in<br />
five sections: The Nucleus (protons and neutrons, energy shells, binding energy, fission and fusion); The Electrons (quantum<br />
numbers, spdf orbitals); The Elements (periodic table, valence electrons, ions and ionization energy, electronegativity,<br />
covalent and ionic bonds); The Energy of Atoms (exothermic and endothermic reactions, spontaneous reactions, Gibbs free<br />
energy, activation energy, catalysts); and Common Compounds (properties of sodium chloride and water, polarity).<br />
CHEMICAL REACTIONS - What do fireworks, a fried egg, and a rusting truck have in common? They all involve chemical<br />
reactions. This program illustrates the mechanics of chemical reactions in five sections: Chemical Reactions (reactants and<br />
products, state changes, diatomic elements and molecules, Law of Conservation of Mass); Chemical Bonding (Octet Rule,<br />
ionic and covalent bonds); Types of Chemical Reactions (synthesis and decomposition reactions, single and double<br />
displacement reactions, acid/base reactions, exothermic and endothermic reactions); Reaction Rates (moles, kinetic energy,<br />
solutes and solvents, catalysts, activators and inhibitors, enzymes); and Reactions All Around Us (photosynthesis and<br />
chemosynthesis, autotrophs and photoautotrophs, bioluminescence). 28 minutes<br />
METALS - On the periodic table, three-quarters of all the elements are classified as one sort of metal or another. Divided<br />
into five sections, this program provides a thorough overview of metals: Metals in Our World (includes iron, lithium,<br />
magnesium, mercury, potassium, silver, sodium, uranium, zinc); Alkali Metals (history and properties of lithium, sodium,<br />
potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium); Alkaline Earth Metals (history and properties of beryllium, magnesium, calcium,<br />
strontium, barium, radium); Transition Metals (properties of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, gold, zinc, cadmium,<br />
mercury); and Metals and Chemical Reactions (exothermic and endothermic reactions, oxidation and combustion reactions,<br />
acid/base reactions). 26 minutes<br />
THE PERIODIC TABLE - Much more than a list of elements, the periodic table is a snapshot of how matter is organized on<br />
Earth and throughout the universe. In five sections, this program looks at the history and components of the periodic table:<br />
The History of the Periodic Table (from the atomos of Democritus to the atoms of Mendeleev); Metals (how to read the<br />
periodic table, transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals); Lanthanides, Actinides, and Transuranium Elements<br />
(properties of lanthanides and actinides, transuranium and transfermium elements); The BCNOs (properties of metalloids,<br />
other metals, and nonmetals); and Halogens and Noble Gases (properties and applications of halogens and noble gases).<br />
STATES OF MATTER - This program scrutinizes the concept of phase transitions - from naturally occurring changes in state to<br />
those created in laboratories - in five sections: Solids, Liquids, and Gases (properties of molecules in different states;<br />
hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole forces, dispersion forces; effects of temperature, pressure, and volume on atomic and<br />
molecular movement; Ideal Gas Law); Evaporation and Condensation (intermolecular forces, boiling/condensing point,<br />
endothermic reactions); Melting and Freezing (melting/freezing point, ionic and covalent bonds, cations and anions);<br />
Sublimation and Deposition (triple points and phase diagrams); and Other States of Matter (plasma, liquid crystals, Bose-<br />
Einstein condensates, superfluids and supersolids).<br />

PHYSICS IN ACTION SERIES<br />
Can the study of physics be fun? This clever five-part series answers "Yes!" by presenting essential facts, formulas, and laws<br />
of physics through real-world examples, illustrative animations, and a likeable field guide named Mr. Physics who makes<br />
complicated concepts easier to understand. End-of-section reviews are included throughout each program, and equations are<br />
worked out, step by step, on-screen.<br />
ENERGY - Talking about energy is tricky because everyday words can also have specialized scientific meanings. Through the<br />
process of defining key terms like "power", "work", and even "energy" itself, this program uses a roller coaster, a harmless<br />
train wreck, ice-skaters, a boulder, a human cannonball, night-vision goggles, and a supernova to introduce students to<br />
kinetic and potential energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, and conduction, convection, and radiation<br />
of heat.<br />
FORCES AND MOTION - In New York City, there are many ways to travel. Of course, it's a lot easier if you're a bird. Using the<br />
Big Apple as a living laboratory, this program addresses speed and distance using a pigeon, a taxi, and a tour boat. Additional<br />
situations such as the deployment of a Mars rover, a zero-G flight in NASA's Weightless Wonder, a walk on a conveyor belt and<br />
a cruising aircraft carrier, and juggling on the Earth and around the Solar System provide opportunities to study the<br />
mechanics of velocity and acceleration as well as contact forces and forces that act at a distance. Vector algebra is<br />
demonstrated throughout.<br />
PLANETS, STARS AND GALAXIES - Beginning with the history of astronomy (Ptolemy, Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Galileo),<br />
this program considers the mathematics of motion (velocity, acceleration); gravity (Kepler's discoveries, Newton's laws,<br />
center of gravity, astronomical units); the properties of stars (parallax, flux, luminosity, color, Hertzsprung-Russell diagram);<br />
relativity (Einstein's theories, speed of light, space-time); and the large-scale structure of the universe (Big Bang,<br />
Cosmological Principle, Hubble's law). Humankind has come a long way in our understanding of the cosmos - but we're still<br />
only scratching the surface of astrophysics, with discoveries of incalculable value still waiting to be made.<br />
PROCESSES THAT SHAPED THE EARTH - The Earth is like a living, breathing organism. From its molten core to the upper<br />
reaches of the atmosphere, nothing is still. How was the planet formed, and what are the forces that continue to sculpt it?<br />
This program uses animated topographical maps, a broken pane of glass, a fortune in diamonds, a floor-sanding machine,<br />
stalactites, flowing glaciers, a merry-go-round, a greenhouse, and more to help students visualize the structure and<br />
composition of the Earth and the processes that shape our world. Dangerous impacts of humankind - most notably pollution<br />
and deforestation - are also considered.<br />
THE NATURE OF MATTER - An elephant and a racing car don't have much in common - except for the remarkable fact that<br />
they're made of similar fundamental building blocks. This program takes a simulated subatomic look at a glass of water to<br />
better understand the nature of matter, a minuscule world of molecules, atoms, and elementary<br />
particles. The behavior of matter under the effects of gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong<br />
and weak nuclear forces; the process of scientific experimentation; specifics of atomic structure;<br />
the organization of matter via the periodic table; ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonding; the<br />
process of radioactive decay; and the death of fusion-fueled stars are scrutinized as well.<br />

HOW CONSUMERS DECIDE - Advertisers know the shortest route to the pocketbook runs straight through the heart and<br />
that murky jungle called the subconscious. Are hidden persuaders creeping silently into minds and shaping our desires?<br />
Which leads our decision making - the heart or the mind? Is one a leader while the other follows quietly behind? How do<br />
reason and feelings cooperate in the marketplace? Advertisers and marketers do not need to hypnotize us into buying or send<br />
us subliminal messages so we "don’t know what hit us". All they need is to understand some things about our decision making<br />
that we don’t even know. Watch this program - not so much to learn about devious advertisers as about how you make<br />
decisions. Look closely at those clever ads and you might learn something ... about yourself!<br />

CAPITALISM HITS THE FAN: Richard Wolff on the Economic Meltdown<br />
With breathtaking clarity, renowned University of Massachusetts Economics Professor Richard Wolff breaks down the root<br />
causes of today's economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the<br />
structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the source of the economic crisis to the 1970s, when wages began<br />
to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in<br />
the mortgage meltdown. By placing the crisis within this larger historical and systemic frame, Wolff argues convincingly that<br />
the proposed government "bailouts," stimulus packages, and calls for increased market regulation will not be enough to<br />
address the real causes of the crisis, in the end suggesting that far more fundamental change will be necessary to avoid<br />
future catastrophes. Richly illustrated with motion graphics, this is a superb introduction designed to help ordinary citizens<br />
understand, and react to, the unraveling economic crisis.<br />

MANAGING ME! "It's not what happens to you, but how you react that matters." Epictetus<br />
As the leader of any group, problems are inevitable. So - how do you react? Do you lead with<br />
your gut - or your head? This is the dilemma that the host of "Managing Me" grapples with.<br />
When problems arise at work, he can choose to react with either impulse or reason. As each<br />
situation plays out, the better reaction is clear. Viewers recognize that how you react often has a far greater impact - on<br />
morale, on retention, on productivity - than any specific problem ever could. The key to managing other people is learning<br />
how to manage you. Includes: 28 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF<br />
version of leader's guide and supporting PowerPoint graphics. (Guide and PowerPoint files also available as a download.)<br />

STRATEGY AND CHANGE Bundle<br />
In today's competitive business environments, we must be ready to change, and change frequently. Change is not a variation,<br />
it's the norm, and one of the most critical challenges for modern managers. Our organization must be nimble and alert; if we<br />
miss a trend, there may be no catching up. We must continuously and effectively innovate in the face of demanding<br />
customers who insist: "better, faster, cheaper". In this ten part series you will learn techniques that you can put straight to<br />
work. Learn how to keep your organization aligned with your strategy while harnessing the power of change. These are but a<br />
few of the compelling questions this series will answer:<br />
*How do you successfully implement change initiatives and keep your organization flexible and adaptive?<br />
*What can be done to manage your project portfolio to keep your change initiatives aligned with your business strategy?<br />
*Why are employees and other stakeholders skeptical of change, and what can be done to gain their commitment?<br />
*How do some companies defeat more powerful rivals while others fail?<br />
*What cultural components will lead to an environment in which innovation will flourish?<br />
*Why should innovation become deeply embedded into your organization, and how can you make that happen?<br />

YES LIVES IN THE LAND OF NO!<br />
It's no secret that we live in a world full of negativity. Negativity surrounds us - in our workplaces, in our communities, even<br />
in our families. But sometimes, it's our own negativity that stands between us and success. Understanding the sources of<br />
negativity; both our own and others', is essential for people to work together effectively. Yes Lives in the Land of NO will<br />
guide participants through their own journeys in the land of NO. This animated program will help viewers deal with negativity<br />
faster, more effectively, and with a lot less discouragement and despair.<br />

BIG MAC: Inside the McDonald's Empire<br />
Despite the low-wage, low-prestige reputation of the<br />
typical "McJob", a McDonald's franchise owner often<br />
manages budgets and income in the millions of dollars. This<br />
NBC News program looks at the history and working<br />
philosophy behind the world's largest food-service<br />
corporation, featuring a number of interviews and concise<br />
case studies. Operations manager Tyrone Davis runs six<br />
Connecticut restaurants and hopes to become an owner. A<br />
once-struggling store in the same state has built newfound<br />
profitability on frequent tour bus crowds. And former Four<br />
Seasons chef Dan Coudreaut talks about his mid-career<br />
move to the McDonald's test kitchen, while the company's<br />
future in China-and nutrition-conscious America-is also<br />
explored. #11679/0635 60 minutes 2007 $219.95<br />
CHINA OR BUST: Chasing Success in the World's<br />
Fastest-Growing Economy<br />
There are fortunes to be made in China today - but fortuneseekers<br />
from overseas face immense challenges. This<br />
program offers three engaging business case studies, each<br />
following a Western entrepreneur who grapples with<br />
Chinese business practices and culture. Tony Caldera's<br />
cushion business has been ruined by Chinese imports, but he<br />
hopes for a turnaround by building a factory here. Peter<br />
Williams is about to embark on the toughest challenge of<br />
his life: selling an energy-saving device to the Chinese.<br />
Finally, there's Vance Miller, who gained notoriety for<br />
selling cheap Chinese kitchens in Britain. Now he's in China,<br />
determined to overcome setbacks. All three studies are<br />
ideal for sparking discussion and analysis in international<br />
business courses. #12055/0635 60 minutes 2008 $219.95<br />
FINDING UNTAPPED GROWTH IN EXISTING MARKETS<br />
In order to win in the marketplace, it is essential to understand which customer behaviors make money (and lose money) for<br />
your organization. Next, it is important to segment customer groups in a way that allows you to explain those behaviors and<br />
find the actual customers in the real world. Then you can identify the drivers and barriers to influencing the particular<br />
behavior you want to motivate. By doing so, your marketing efforts can be focused on the critical specifics, early in the<br />
process. Dr. Jim Hollingshead provides insights on these principles, and offers specific tools for seeing existing markets<br />
differently and uncovering hidden opportunities for growth. #12614/1005 53 minutes 2007 $119.95<br />
WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything<br />
Interactive web technologies, in the form of self-organizing Internet communities, are driving a social revolution. This Age of<br />
Collaboration is also creating an economic revolution that is changing the architecture of the corporation in how we create<br />
goods and services. Using the findings of a $9-million research project, Don Tapscott describes how companies innovate using<br />
the knowledge, resources, and computing power of millions of people organizing into a massive collective force. These<br />
innovative companies are challenging our assumptions about business and competitiveness. They are doing this by leveraging<br />
networks of peers, using operational transparency to their advantage, sharing intellectual property, and thinking and acting<br />
globally. #12616/1005 49 minutes 2008 $119.95<br />
READY FOR ANYTHING: Business Continuity, Disaster<br />
Recovery, Preparedness<br />
This program shows that business continuity involves all levels of an<br />
organization, and illustrates numerous examples of good preparation and<br />
execution of disaster recovery/BCP plans. Realistic cases dramatize two<br />
levels of business disaster. In the first, a company-wide computer problem<br />
brings operations to a standstill for 39 hours. In the second, a regional<br />
catastrophe forces evacuation of an organization's headquarters and closes<br />
the facility for months. The reenactments contrast the disaster responses of<br />
a prepared and an unprepared organization - and illustrates the steps and<br />
criteria for developing a practical business continuity plan.<br />

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS: Telephone Skills for Better Service<br />
Great telephone service doesn't have to be a thing of the past. Even with the advent of email and the Internet, your<br />
customers still want to be able to call sometimes and reach a live person. And how that call is handled still makes a huge<br />
difference to the success of your organization. When the phone rings, your employees have only a few seconds to set a tone.<br />
To communicate that your company listens to customers and gives them what they need- every single time they call. Those<br />
who answer the phones are speaking for everyone in the company. Make sure they have training.<br />

DEALING WITH THE IRATE CUSTOMER II<br />
This customer service video teaches skills that help turn angry customers into satisfied customers. It's hard to keep your cool<br />
when dealing with difficult customers. After all, it's only human to get defensive and fight back - or cave in and give them<br />
whatever they demand. What you need instead is a plan. The guidelines presented in this brand new training video will help<br />
you calm angry customers. Your employees will learn to stay professional and not take it personally when they have to deal<br />
with difficult customers, whether in retail, health care, government, or wherever. They'll learn that their basic customer<br />
service skills are a first line of defense—it's hard for customers to be mean to someone who's being nice to them. And they'll<br />
learn three powerful "breakthrough techniques" that can be used if the situation escalates and threatens to get out of hand.<br />
