NERO'S GOLDEN HOUSE
"A ravishing, eye-poppingly gorgeous, visually rich documentary that uses lavish computer graphics, mines a rich vein of
Hollywood films and popular songs for illustration and switches from the frescoes of classical Rome to the hustle of the
modern city's streets." Radio Times
Rome had burnt to a cinder but the 26 year-old Emperor Nero turned this tragedy into a triumph by ordering the construction
of the grandest, most ostentatious building on earth - the Domus Aurea or Golden House. It was a creation of great beauty
but became a place renowned for violence and sexual perversion where the infamous emperor would satisfy his darkest
desires. #12198/1893 50 minutes 2001 $279.95

INSIDE THE KORAN "This thoughtful, intelligent documentary asks all the right questions." - The Guardian (London)
"A remarkable documentary. The audience will understand the difference between culture and religion."
Mike Ghouse, President, World Muslim Congress
The Koran is one of the most ideologically influential texts in the world, with over a billion Muslims following its precepts.
Yet within this singular religious community there are profound differences in attitudes about peace, violence, punishment,
forgiveness and the status of women, among others. In this eye-opening film, award-winning director Antony Thomas goes
deep into the heart of the Muslim world, exploring the history and current state of Islam. He also examines the personal lives
of his subjects, who range from ayatollahs and grand imams to simple farmers and women living in veiled seclusion; their
relationship with this holy Book reveals a complex, beautiful and often contradictory guide for humanity.
