FOR & ABOUT KIDS Grades K to 6 

THINK ABOUT OTHERS: What It Means to be Considerate 

One of the most important social skills children need to learn is how to behave in ways that help them forge connections to 

others. To be at ease among others, and to give and receive emotional support, requires the ability to imagine oneself in 

someone else's place. This program defines the word "considerate" as caring about how another person feels. 

Using age-appropriate scenarios to make and reinforce its points and a lively host to move the stories along, this program 

examines positive ways to show consideration, such as treating others the way they would like to be treated and being 

helpful, even without being asked. It demonstrates how being polite and helpful to others not only can help them get along 

better with others but also make them feel better about themselves. After viewing this program, students will recognize the 

difference between being considerate and inconsiderate; understand why it's important for them to treat others as they 

would like to be treated; and learn that the best way to understand another's feelings is to think about how they might feel 

in the same situation. #11449/1945 14 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $119.95 Grades K to 2 

SHARE YOUR FEELINGS, USE YOUR WORDS 

Children's feelings are very real, but all too often they find themselves unable to put 

these feelings into words. With the help of an appealing puppet host, engaging 

scenarios, and catchy song lyrics, this program encourages the youngest students to 

speak out about how they feel and what they want. After viewing this program 

students will understand the importance of telling how they feel, realize that putting 

their feelings into words is the best way to be heard and recognize that sharing 

feelings helps everyone get along better. #11927/1945 15 minutes 2008 

*Includes Guide $119.95 Grades K to 2 

IT'S ELEMENTARY and IT'S STILL ELEMENTARY: 

Talking About Gay Issues in School 

*Winner of numerous awards 

IT'S ELEMENTARY was the first video of its kind to address anti-gay prejudice by 

providing adults with practical lessons on how to talk with kids about gay people. Hailed as "a model of intelligent directing", 

it shows that children are eager and able to wrestle with stereotypes and absorb new facts about what it means to be gay or 

lesbian. Shot in six public and private schools, the program models excellent teaching about family diversity, name-calling, 

stereotypes, community building and more. Recommended for use by: K-12 teachers and youth service providers; religious 

communities; and, corporate diversity awareness programs. The DVD includes the 78 minute feature, the 38-minute training 

version, and the 51 minute newly released retrospective documentary IT'S STILL ELEMENTARY. Also includes a comprehensive 

Guide K-8 Curriculum. #11625/0788 Two programs on one DVD 2007 $149.95 *CC 

THE PEACEFUL SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM 

This is a whole-school program that's designed to decrease inappropriate behavior on buses while creating a climate of 

respect and cooperation. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students take part in school bus route meetings. At these 

meetings the students: take part in team-building exercises; develop mentoring relationships by pairing older students with 

younger students on the bus; talk about bullying - and what behavior is and is not acceptable; get to personally know their 

driver, who is present at the meetings. Although first developed and implemented in an elementary school setting, the 

program is easily adapted for use with middle school and even high-school students, who can serve as mentors, role models, 

and teachers of younger students. 

OUTCOMES - Peaceful School Bus Program was created in the real-world setting of Lynnwood Elementary School in upstate 

New York. In the year before the program was implemented, school bus drivers reported 58 incidents of inappropriate 

behavior. The program has been in place for 7 years. In each of the past 4 years, the average yearly total of bus incident 

referrals has been nine. 

HOW IT WORKS - There is very little financial cost to implementing this program. All materials are included in the 128-page 

Softcover guide. The DVD gives a program overview. And the CD-ROM provides numerous resources including: program 

posters; bus decals; activity handouts; a parent letter (in English and Spanish); a bus route leader-training outline; an 

implementation checklist. It is recommended that each committee member and bus route group leader have one copy of the 

guide. #12443/0795 15 minutes 2008 $129.95 Grades K to 12 

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS: The Effects of Bullying *AURORA GOLD Winner 

As we all know, bullying is an ever-growing problem in our schools. In this revealing and excellent program, meet children 

who bully and the parents and teachers working to keep schools safe from the viciousness of bullies. Examines some of the 

faces of bullying and how it affects both the victims and the bullies themselves. #12385/0145 19 minutes 2003 $179.95 *CC 

ALL ABOUT FRIENDS 

Friends are important to children, but what makes a good friend? Three age-appropriate scenarios show the youngest 

students that a friend is someone who makes you feel good about yourself, won't talk you into doing something you know is 

wrong, and doesn't make it hard for you to have friends other than them.

what it's like to grow up in a family with parents of different races or religions, divorced parents, a single parent, gay or 

lesbian parents, adoptive parents or grandparents as guardians. This award-winning video will stretch your mind and touch 

your heart no matter what your age. *Comes with an extensive discussion and teaching guide, which includes lesson plans to 

use with the video, suggestions for facilitating classroom discussion at different grade levels, and additional resources for

FOR & ABOUT KIDS Grades 3 to 5 

STAYING SAFE ON THE INTERNET 

By providing a wealth of opportunities for learning and fun, computers now play an important role in many children's lives. 

But because the Internet also has a potential for danger, this program is designed to teach students rules for staying safe 

whenever they go online. Introduced by a funny, computer-savvy host named "Chip", the three scenarios alert viewers to 

online dangers, and teach the appropriate safety rule to follow: Don't open messages from anyone you don't personally know. 

Don't give out personal information to anyone. Never agree to meet with strangers you meet online. In summing up, "Chip" 

explains that if something online makes you at all uncomfortable, be sure to ask for help from a grown-up you trust. After 

viewing this program, students will recognize that chatting online has certain dangers, learn rules for staying safe online and 

know where to turn to for help if necessary. #11926/1945 15 minutes 2008 *Includes Guide $119.95 *CC 

IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU: Dealing with Abuse 

This program talks to upper elementary-aged children about a difficult subject - abuse. Sensitive, age-appropriate scenarios 

explore three types of abuse: physical, verbal and sexual as seen though the eyes of children. Viewers learn that victims of 

abuse are NOT responsible for causing it. They MUST tell an adult they trust what is happening - and continue on telling until 

someone takes action to stop it. Whether it's a father who gets angry and physically hurts a child, a grown-up who uses 

words to continually make a youngster feel worthless or a person who touches the private parts of a child's body, this 

program will encourage and empower youngsters who are the victims of abuse to speak up and get help! 

#10767/1945 20 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $119.95 

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES 

When children make mistakes, they often feel bad. 

Distinguishing between silly mistakes, mistakes that take 

time to fix, and mistakes that can't be fixed, this musicfilled 

program explains that mistakes are a part of life. 

What counts, it tells kids, is what we do about our 

mistakes, because making mistakes is how we learn. 

#11451/1945 16 minutes *Includes Guide 2007 $119.95 

FOLLOWING THE RULES: Student Workshop 

Whenever children encounter a rule that keeps them from 

doing what they want to do, they typically ask, "Why do 

we have rules anyway?" This workshop helps to develop 

respect for rules by showing that rules have reasons. By 

seeing the reason for a rule, kids will understand why 

there are limits, what the limits are, and know how they 

are expected to behave. #11446/1945 13 minutes 2007

THERE'S NO ONE JUST LIKE YOU OR ME 

As they develop a sense of their own identity, kids naturally compare themselves to others.

challenge. Portraying kids who come from different cultures, have different physical

THE CHARACTER CHRONICLES *CINE Golden Eagle! 

"Superbly produced, this series is an effective and highly recommended supplemental addition to public, private, parochial 

and home-schooling curriculums." The Midwest Book Review 

This series brings character education alive for upper elementary and middle school students. Presented from the point of 

view of six middle school video bloggers, this series explores the six pillars of character through the thoughts and personal 

experiences of young people. Contains a variety of entertaining and provocative elements including inspiring documentaries, 

humorous vignettes, and insightful teen discussions about each of the pillars. These compelling chronicles sparkle with a 

current, energetic style that young viewers will love to watch. 

Program 1: THE TRUST CONNECTION - Blogger Judy explores the role of trust in everyday life, how trust is gained and lost 

among friends and family, and the consequences of lying to fit in. 

Program 2: THE RESPECT CONNECTION - This program reinforces the importance of respect in everything we do, from our 

interactions with our peers to the way we treat the planet on which we live. 

Program 3: THE RESPONSIBILITY CONNECTION - This dynamic combination of kids' discussions and two inspiring 

documentaries shows both personal and social responsibility in action.

Program 5: THE CARING CONNECTION - The young people in this video explore the idea that caring is about actions, not 

simply feelings. The documentaries tell the stories of a cancer survivor who helps other children through hard times, and a 

group of kids who make gifts for foster children.

finds that he and his peers can make a difference by doing their share for the common good.

MAKING SMART CHOICES: It's Up to You 

In the middle school years, young teens are faced with making increasingly serious decisions that may involve their 

relationships with friends, the use of alcohol and drugs, and ethical choices about such things as cheating, lying, and breaking 

rules. This program is designed to present good decision-making skills to young adolescents in a way that challenges students 

to think about how they make important choices, what new skills they can actively use when making choices, and how to 

evaluate a decision once it's been made. An on-camera quiz at the beginning of the program sets the stage for students to 

assess their own decision-making abilities as they watch the program unfold. True-to-life vignettes present believable 

scenarios in which teens can see how these skills can be used with positive results. 


ABUSE: If It Happens to You 

This program is designed to help young teens understand that abuse, of all types, is more common than they think and if it 

happens to them, they need to tell a trusted adult. It examines the different types of abuse that can occur: physical, 

emotional, and sexual, and helps young teens understand that the victim is never at fault and did not cause or deserve the 

abuse. One of the biggest reasons victims don't speak out is because they think no one will believe them. This program 

assures young people that while this can happen in some cases, the victim must continue to speak out until someone listens 

and takes what they say seriously. Use this program to educate your students and help them come forward if they have been 

abused. #11437/1945 24 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95 

SEVEN WAYS TO BLOCK A CYBERBULLY! 

Cyber bullies don't shove kids on the playground or steal lunch money, but they are just as dangerous. They stay hidden 

behind technology and target students on the Internet and through cell phones. This program teaches students how to be 

smart and stay safe in a cyber bully situation. Details seven effective strategies for dealing with a digital bully: understanding 

the e-bully; protecting your passwords; guarding personal information; using safety software; cutting off communications; 

saying "no" to revenge; and, telling someone. BONUS SECTION: "Cyberbully: The Adult Role" is an added section in the video 

that outlines seven ways parents and educators can work to stop cyber bullying. Student Section 15 minutes, Adult Section 10 

minutes. #11793/1290 15 minutes 2008 Includes Teaching Materials $99.95 *CC

LET'S GET REAL! Taunting and Bullying 

Name-calling and bullying are at epidemic proportions among youth across the country, and are often the root causes of 

violence in schools. This program gives young people the chance to tell their stories in their own words - and the results are 

heartbreaking, shocking, inspiring and poignant. Unlike the vast majority of videos made for schools about the issue, this 

program doesn't sugarcoat the truth or feature adults lecturing kids about what to do when "bad" kids pick on them. Also 

examines a variety of issues that lead to taunting and bullying, including racial differences, perceived sexual orientation, 

learning disabilities, religious differences, sexual harassment and others. The film not only gives a voice to targeted kids, but 

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 

part includes stories of kids who have mustered the courage to stand up for themselves or a classmate. Establishes an

character traits are examined in open-ended scenarios that challenge teens to consider their own ethical values.

FOR & ABOUT TEENS / YOUNG ADULTS 

BINGE DRINKING - A growing issue among adolescents is binge drinking. What is binge drinking, who is likely to be 

involved in binge drinking and what are the effects and consequences of this behavior are all questions answered in this 

program. Geoff Munro, the Director of the Australian Drug Foundation's Community Alcohol Action Network describes the 

effects of alcohol in the body and the consequences of alcohol addiction. Also included are views from young people about 

their attitudes towards binge drinking, some warning signs for detecting alcohol addiction in friends and strategies for 

reducing alcohol consumption and drinking responsibly. #12543/0545 23 minutes 2004 $95 

DRUG ABUSE BEYOND MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL: Crossing the Thin Line 

Today's teens are more likely to abuse prescription and over the counter medications than many other illegal drugs such as 

marijuana. This is often referred to as "pharming." Abuse of these drugs to get "high" is now an entrenched behavior among 

teens. Teens are now exposed to powerful mind altering drugs, often impure at an alarming level. Damaging steroid use is 

often encouraged by role models in society. With the use of these drugs, teens are damaging their health, experiencing date 

rape, black outs, becoming unconscious and in some cases, losing their lives. Hear from real teens as they discuss their 

exposure and knowledge of pharmacological drugs and dangerous chemical substances. *Part of the REAL LIFE TEENS SERIES II

in no uncertain terms. This eight-poster series speaks directly to young people

addition to several types of dangerous substances - including prescription and overthe-counter 

medication - the deadly pitfalls of drunk driving are also portrayed. 

There are eight 17" x 22" laminated posters: Cocaine; Alcohol; Marijuana; Smoking; 

Prescription/OTC Drugs; Hallucinogens; Inhalants; and, Drunk Driving. #11450/0635

DRUGS: The Straight Facts 

The only antidote to the flashy appeal of drugs is honest information. Give your 

students the straight facts on some of the most widely abused substances with this five-program series. 

ALCOHOL - This program makes clear the many myths associated with alcohol and explores the history of alcohol, a 

substance first used as a medicine; the effects of alcohol on the body and the short - and long-term health impacts; and 

teenage attitudes toward alcohol and trends such as binge drinking. Also examines the prevalence of alcohol in our culture 

and discusses alcoholism - how to identify it and how to treat it. 

MARIJUANA - Marijuana has the distinction of being our most widely used illegal drug. This program traces the history of 

marijuana and goes on to explain some of the many uses of the hemp plant; the effects of THC - the primary psychoactive 

chemical in marijuana, sinsemilla, hashish, and hash oil - on the body; the short- and long-term health implications of 

marijuana abuse; and teenage attitudes toward marijuana. Also investigates the concept of psychological dependency and 

considers whether marijuana is a gateway drug. 

COCAINE AND CRACK - The pleasure of a cocaine high doesn't last long, but the damage cocaine causes can last a lifetime. 

This program explores the history of cocaine; the effects of cocaine and crack on the body and the short- and long-term 

health impacts; and teenage attitudes toward cocaine and crack. Also delves into the illicit cocaine trade and the cartels 

that control it, as well as addiction to cocaine - both physical and psychological. 

NARCOTICS: Heroin, Opium, Codeine, and Morphine - Strictly speaking, the term "narcotic" refers to opium, opium 

derivatives, and their synthetic substitutes. This program delves into the history of narcotics such as heroin, opium, codeine, 

and morphine; the effects of narcotics on the body and the short- and long-term health impacts; and teenage attitudes 

toward narcotics. In addition, the video considers legalization and regulatory issues involving narcotics, as well as physical 

and psychological addiction to these potent drugs. 

INHALANTS - Since chemicals in more than 1,400 products can be sniffed or huffed for their psychoactive and mind-altering 

effects, it's not surprising that inhalants are the most frequently abused substances. This program explores the history of 

inhalant abuse; the effects of inhalants on the body and the short- and long-term health impacts; and teenage attitudes 

toward inhalants. The major classes of commonly abused inhalants and treatment and prevention measures are described in 

the video as well.

TWELVE: Young Addicts Speak from the Heart 

Kat grew up in an alcoholic home. John made drinking the center of his life at a young age. Rene's parents divorced when he 

was five, while Chris and Dante both seemed to have everything they wanted - but all became substance abusers. Through 

detailed, candid conversations, this program goes inside the childhood memories and emotional lives of recovering addicts 

who started their habits at, or close to, age 12. Their stories reveal unique qualities and experiences as well as patterns seen 

over and over again among alcoholics and drug abusers - often involving crime and social isolation. In addition to their pain 

and regret, the participants also discuss the most daunting challenge of all: the ongoing process of recovery.

TEEN DANGER ZONE: Teens at Risk 

Combining hard-hitting personal stories with cold facts, the first six segments of this chaptered program report on some of 

the most common drugs currently being abused by teens: OxyContin, PMA, Special K (ketamine), the methamphetamine Ice, 

inhalants, and, in the form of binge drinking, alcohol. The final segment focuses on hazing, a frequently outlawed form of 

initiation that, like substance abuse, speaks directly to the teenage desire to fit in with peers - sometimes at any cost.

DRUNK AND DANGEROUS PACKAGE 

This teaching tool will give any alcohol education program an added dimension, allowing the instructor to deliver a powerful 

message quickly and clearly. Drinking and driving is a deadly combination - a point graphically demonstrated, especially to 

young people, using The Drunk and Dangerous Glasses (as in spectacles or eyeglasses). Because the glasses' simulation of 

drunkenness is so real and intense, wearers can't help but realize that alcohol really does make driving dangerous. Glasses do 

not represent a specific blood alcohol concentration. The package also includes The Drunk and Dangerous Remote Control 

Car. This colorful, radio-controlled, 11" long car is perfect for classroom demonstrations. Participants can try to steer the car 

through an improvised driving course after setting up the included champagne glass pylons. Students will love this game, and 

it will be a lesson they won't forget. The Drunk and Dangerous Beverage Set - Each plastic glass has a tiny "smashed" car 

embedded in its plastic simulated liquid. Although they make their point without words, these three models are excellent 

discussion starters. The glasses are also available for purchase separately. #12029/0820 Package $349.95 Grades 7 to Adult 

LEGAL BUT DANGEROUS: OTC and RX Drugs 

In a culture where the belief persists that every problem can be solved with a pill, teens naively think that if a medication 

could be harmful, it wouldn't be available. In this program, real teens talk about problems they've had using OTC drugs they 

thought were harmless. Others discuss how they got in trouble using drugs prescribed for someone else. Experts explore why 

teens will experiment with pills, which are often easier for them to get than alcohol or marijuana. This program also 

addresses the issue of substances sold in health food stores that are unregulated, and sometimes harmful. No quality-control 

procedures exist for these products that have been shown to cause serious harm, and in some cases, death. Experts explain 

how drugs affect the body and how everyone's reaction to a drug is unique. This program also looks at how the Internet is 

fueling teens' illegal use of prescription drugs. #11866/1945 20 minutes 2008 Includes Guide $149.95 *CC 

HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL 

This program provides a unique glimpse into the world of peer pressure, parties and alcohol and drug use in high school. 

Viewers will hear from youth who made the choice to use drugs and alcohol and then found themselves forever changed. 

These young people speak candidly about what happened and where it took them. Others talk about what they like to do to 

have fun and what matters to them. The goal of "High School Confidential" is to reduce substance misuse and to improve 

overall health through exploration of effective ways of managing stress instead of trying to "cope with dope" and how youth 

can get a rush of excitement using activities instead of substances. "This is a drug and alcohol education/prevention video 

with a difference," says Kevin Letourneau, Program Manager of PACS Counselling Programs. It faces the fact that alcohol and 

drugs are readily available in most high schools. Teens discuss a number of substances including tobacco, marijuana, ecstasy, 

cocaine and crystal meth. Risks associated with going to parties and drinking are highlighted.

THE TRUTH ABOUT METHAMPHETAMINE

it is to obtain, how little they knew about its harmful effects, and how their addiction has resulted in their criminal behavior. 

Tony and Candice explain how they were immediately obsessed with meth after just first trying it and Katie describes using it 

to try to lose weight. Two experts talk about how meth can cause damage to organs such as the heart, kidneys, and brain and 

that it can cause psychosis and violent behavior. Adolescents will learn how to think about the consequences of meth use and 

how to practice assertiveness skills to resist peer pressure. #11443/1945 27 minutes 2007 Includes Guide $149.95

online. With humor that will appeal to young teens, program talks about Instant Messaging, blogs, e-mail, chat rooms, and 

social networks. Without using scare tactics, makes teens aware of potential online dangers: predators, "phishing," identity 

theft, and cyberbullying. Designed to make surfing the Internet a positive, safe experience.

The STAY IN SCHOOL Series 

This series will help young teens understand that middle school is an important time in their lives and will prepare them to 

succeed in high school and ultimately graduate. Emphasizes that while high school graduation may seem a long way off, 

setting positive goals, making good decisions, and utilizing the support services in their schools and communities will help to 

put them on the path to success. The three programs follow a group of young teens who develop the skills they need to 

handle family stress, set attainable goals, and make important decisions that support their goals. 

MAKING GOOD DECISIONS - A group of middle schoolers are faced with important decisions about cutting school, getting

to them in their schools and communities. 20 minutes

NEW MUSLIM COOL 

Puerto Rican American rapper Hamza Pérez ended his life as a drug dealer 12 years ago and started down a new path as a 

young Muslim. Now he's moved to Pittsburgh's tough North Side to start a new religious community, rebuild his shattered 

family, and take his message of faith to other young people through his uncompromising music as part of the hip-hop duo M-

DEPRESSION: What YOU Can Do 

There's no question that serious depression, selfmutilation, 

suicide attempts and deaths are increasing 

among middle school age youth. The earlier depression is 

identified and treated, the better the prognosis. This 

program includes: a diverse group of 13 year olds 

discussing what they would do if a friend confided they 

were cutting, or thinking of suicide; a compelling 

interview with Sandrina, still a teen, who at 15 was 

depressed, cutting herself, became involved in an abusive 

relationship, and eventually attempted suicide; a middle 

school counselor who describes the signs of depression, 

reassures that it's OK to break a promise, and identifies 

other adults to go to for help; and a child psychiatrist at 

the NYU Child Study Center who dispels misconceptions 

about the causes of depression and treatment, as well as 

the negative effect of alcohol and drugs. 


DEEP DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE 

Teen suicide is a complex event often arising out of deep 

depression where a teen develops feelings that they are 

unwanted, misunderstood, angry, ashamed, abused, 

unloved or victimized. Teens commit suicide because they 

may be feeling guilty about disappointing family, friends 

or they feel an overwhelming sense that they are too 

much of a burden on others. Deep depression can affect 

teens where they believe that suicide is the only solution. 

If a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. 

Sometimes even those who barely know the teen develop 

feelings of guilt, confusion and the sense they could have 

done something themselves to prevent the suicide. Hear 

from real teens as they discuss their feelings about severe 

depression and suicide. *Part of the REAL LIFE TEENS

REAL LIFE TEENS SERIES II 

This series is an unbiased and realistic look from the perspective of teens, at the wide variety of issues teens face today 

featuring young teenagers (not actors) telling their real stories, in their own words. The five-part series discusses significant 

issues in adolescent society and cuts through many barriers with its honest and relevant advice and information. 

SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY - Today's often inadequate teaching of sexual knowledge in a generally sex-obsessed media driven 

society is one of the major reasons teens engage in sexual activity without fully understanding the consequences and the 

impact of poor decision making where sexual matters are concerned. Teens are too often motivated by curiosity and the 

pressure to perform sexually as expressed by friends, love and the media rather than a healthy conscious desire and 

understanding of their sexual behaviors. Teens need to learn how to manage their sexual feelings responsibly and be able to 

select a partner who will respect them and avoid unwanted sexual outcomes. Hear from real teens as they discuss how they 

feel about sexual responsibility. 

DRUG ABUSE BEYOND MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL: Crossing the Thin Line 

Today's teens are more likely to abuse prescription and over the counter medications than many other illegal drugs such as 

marijuana. This is often referred to as "pharming." Abuse of these drugs to get "high" is now an entrenched behavior among 

Teens. Teens are now exposed to powerful mind altering drugs, often impure at an alarming level. Damaging steroid use is 

often encouraged by role models in society. With the use of these drugs, Teens are damaging their health, experiencing date 

rape, black outs, becoming unconscious and in some cases, losing their lives. Hear from real teens as they discuss their

fall under this category. Hear from real teens as they discuss their views on Cyberbullying. 

DEEP DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE - Teen suicide is a complex event often arising out of deep depression where a Teen 

develops feelings that they are unwanted, misunderstood, angry, ashamed, abused, unloved or victimized. Teens commit 

suicide because they may be feeling guilty about disappointing family, friends or they feel an overwhelming sense that they 

are too much of a burden on others. Deep Depression can affect Teens where they believe that suicide is the only solution. If 

a Teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Sometimes even those who barely know the Teen develop feelings of guilt, 

confusion and the sense they could have done something themselves to prevent the suicide. Hear from real teens as they 

discuss their feelings about severe depression and suicide. 

OBESITY AND HEALTH - In our looks-obsessed society, lots of people think that being overweight is simply an appearance 

issue. Obesity issues go way beyond the ones we usually hear about, like diabetes and heart disease. Being overweight can 

also affect a person's joints, breathing, sleep, mood and energy levels. Being overweight can impact a person's entire quality 

of life. Hear from real teens as they discuss their self image, weight, obesity and health.

TEENS AND ETHICS: Real People 

Under the direction of a counselor, real teens talk about the potentially life-changing decisions they face every day - 

decisions about smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, lying, cheating and shoplifting. Viewers are asked to think about their own 

choices and values and what it means to be "ethical." Through first-person interviews and discussions about real-life 

experiences, students see that all choices have consequences and that everyone makes poor decisions. By learning from those 

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 

right thing. #11034/1945 29 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95

DATE RAPE: A Violation of Trust 

To the average student, the definitions of date rape and sexual assault are notoriously unclear. Use this program to eliminate 

the confusion so young adults understand exactly what these things are - and the attitudes and biases that typically 

accompany them - before anyone gets hurt. The video firmly reinforces the concepts that rape has its roots in hate crime; 

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 

one ever "deserves it". The video also underscores the rules of the dating game: a date is not an invitation for sex; No means 

No; and the inability to give consent doesn't mean Yes. Interviews with rape survivors and mental health professionals shed 

additional light on the trauma caused by rape, the process of post-rape emotional recovery, and the importance of post-rape 

support by family and friends. Date rape drugs are given special attention, and tips on safer dating are provided.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT: What You Can Do 

It is estimated that four out of five teenagers experience sexual harassment at school. Many harassers see their behavior as 

nothing more than harmless teasing. Often, victims of sexual harassment feel powerless and don't know what they can do to 

protect themselves. Many bystanders who watch silently or laugh, don't understand the part they play in perpetuating this 

behavior and the responsibility they have to stop it. Under the direction of experts in the field, a group teens including those 

who have experienced sexual harassment, discuss the reality of life in high school today: how to tell the difference between 

unwanted attention and flirting, the influence of the media, what victims and bystanders can do, and the importance of 

reporting sexual harassment when it happens. #11033/1945 20 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95

practices and rules of online conduct, so that they can navigate potential Internet perils before trouble occurs. 

CYBERSAFETY - What harm could come from sitting leisurely at the computer, chatting with online pals? Unfortunately, 

many young people who spend hours in chat rooms or post sensitive information on the Internet have little or no idea of the 

risks involved. This program warns students about how vulnerable they are whenever they venture into the cyber realm - 

even when they think they're among "friends". Explaining how to take precautions in chat rooms, on social networking sites, 

and anywhere that predators lurk, the program strongly advises against physically meeting any online acquaintance and

information superhighway and avoid the temptations of the fast lane, pointing the way toward an ethically sound Internet 

presence and lifestyle. Guidelines for the use of intellectual property are featured, with emphasis on the consequences of

simply not reality. Many children feel the effects for years

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Portrait of Abuse Series 

*2008 FREDDIE Award Winner (The FREDDIE, also known as "the Oscar for healthcare 

media", is awarded by the prestigious International Health & Medical Media group) 

A powerful and compelling series in three parts that not only raises our social awareness 

of the effects and cycles of domestic violence, but digs into the psyche of both the 

victim and aggressor to better understand how a new outcome can be realized. Using 

interviews with actual battered women and abusers, the programs offer helpful and 

practical advice from survivors, healthcare personnel, shelter advocates, social workers, 

and prosecutors. 

PART ONE - The series begins with an overview of the incidence and prevalence of domestic violence. Also introduces the 

views to the women who were abused either physically, psychologically, emotionally, and/or sexually as they tell their 

stories. It concludes with a list of screening tips for professionals to help them identify, interview, and provide interventions 

for victims of domestic violence. 15 minutes 

PART TWO - This program begins exploring the patriarchal idea that man is the ruler in the home and women are merely his 

possession. Various film clips, ranging from Citizen Kane to Titanic are used to illustrate how this concept has been 

perpetuated in the media. In addition, healthcare professionals describe the characteristics of abusive men, and one man, 

who identifies himself as a former perpetrator, speaks about his aggressive actions toward his wife and how intervention 

helped him change his behaviors and restore his relationship. 15 minutes 

PART THREE - The final program in this series is a dramatization of a battered woman who is brought into the emergency 

department for care by her abusive husband. In this vignette, identification of a victim, interviewing her in a private place, 

notification of authorities, and providing her with information about help available to her are explored. At the end of this 

segment, the women interviewed earlier talk about how they were able to move out of their abusive relationships, gain selfesteem, 

and move on with their lives. 27 minutes

FALLEN FEATHER: Canada's Indian Residential Schools 

"It is important for us to be reminded that the Residential Schools were all about the eradication of Indianess in the country. 

They were designed to do away with the Indian fact in the country. And to mould us into something that obviously we could 

never be." National Chief Phil Fontaine 

The Fallen Feather provides an in-depth critical analysis of the driving forces behind the creation of Canadian Indian 

Residential Schools. Using historical source documents, survivors' personal testimonies, and detailed analysis from 

community leaders, the film explores in detail the Federal Government's primary motivation in the creation of these Schools. 

While examining the influences of Indian wars, Sir John A Macdonald's National Policy, Land Claims issues, the film details 

how all of these events and visions contributed to the development of these Schools. The film argues that the lasting effects 

that First Nations in Canada suffer today can be traced back directly to their experiences within these schools. Finally, we as 

Canadians are all challenged to re-examine our shared history.

Demonstrates how parental emotional neglect, not unlike physical abuse, can have life-long repercussions when experienced 

by children of any age, socioeconomic, or cultural/ethnic backgrounds. But what constitutes emotional child abuse? 

Viewers learn that this neglect can take many forms: parent absenteeism; demonstrations of apathy or hostility towards the 

individual child, the family or even the community in general; no verbal or physical demonstrations of affection like hugs, 

kisses, compliments and encouragement; constant badgering and criticism. When children do not feel loved, they develop 

low self-esteem which leads to future unhealthy coping mechanisms such as self-harm, substance abuse, or delinquency.

HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA 

and TRAUMA AND THE BODY: A Psychodramatic Approach 

In these extremely powerful live group sessions, master clinician and psychodramatist Tian Dayton works with group 

participants to confront childhood abuse, and work through trauma that they are carrying in their bodies. Dayton addresses 

these delicate issues with directness and great care, employing innovative action-oriented techniques that you can use in 

your work with clients, whether you are trained in psychodrama or not. 

HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA 

Psychodrama recreates powerful relational dynamics from 

the past to bring about cathartic change in the present. 

Trauma from child abuse remains trapped inside us and 

continues to threaten our feelings of safety and wellbeing 

through adulthood. Psychodrama allows us to safely 

reinhabit the body at the point of past abuse and make 

sense of the experience from an adult perspective. In this 

video, Bob fears that he is passing on the legacy of abuse 

from his stepfather to his four-year-old granddaughter. He 

acts out scenes with his mother, stepfather and 

granddaughter, playing both himself and reversing roles. 

In so doing, Tian helps Bob release hidden emotions, say 

the things he never got to as a child, and create new 

meaning around his past and current relationships. 

From watching this video, you'll be able to: 

*Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques 

with clients who have suffered trauma from childhood 

abuse. 

*Create psychodrama warm-up exercises, action scenes, 

and group sharing discussions 

*Adapt Tian Dayton's unique approach to working with 

childhood abuse to your own therapy work with clients.

TRAUMA AND THE BODY: A Psychodramatic Approach 

The body remembers the trauma that the mind does not. 

Psychodrama provides a space for the body to speak, for 

somatic memory to become conscious, and for the mind 

to connect and process what the body is experiencing. In 

this video, Travis speaks to his wounded heart and works 

through his fear of dying; Sheila speaks to her mother who 

committed suicide and releases anger that was locked up 

for many years; and Amal speaks to the birth mother she 

never met, confronting the belief that she was never 

loved or wanted. Dayton highlights the emotion that 

emerges from these participants' bodies, and helps give 

voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that 

an integration between mind and body can occur. 

From watching this video, you'll be able to: 

*Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques 

with clients who have suffered trauma. 

*Create psychodrama warm-up exercises, action scenes, 

and group sharing discussions. 

*Adapt Tian Dayton's unique approach to working with

ROCKING THE CRADLE: Gay Parenting 

The idea of same-sex parenting has taken a while to reach the consciousness of most North Americans. Until just a few years

over a full one-third of lesbian couples and roughly a quarter of gay male couples have opted to become parents. This 

program captures six gay/lesbian families in their day-to-day lives. Two of these are families by adoption, two are coparenting 

families, and two are lesbian families by insemination. Man-on-the-street interviews as well as emotional 

testimonials from the 15 adults and 11 children featured in this film provide a range of perspectives on gay parenting.

THE CYCLE OF LIFE SERIES 

What can the science of life tell us about one particular life? This three-program series explores 

a triangle of basic human functions - learning, movement, and eating - and the dynamic roles 

they play from birth to death. Weaving together high-tech animation, detailed anatomical 

photography, and powerful dramatizations into a narrative framework, each program illustrates 

particular phases in the life of fictional heroine Anna Martin. Coupled with descriptions of realworld 

experiments in medicine and neurology, Anna's story becomes a journey through the latest 

scientific findings about human growth, survival, and mortality. 

HOW WE LEARN: Challenges and Rewards - a has built a successful business from the ground up 

- and upon retirement, leaves the company to her employees, not to her son. What does that 

decision tell us about Anna's psychology, and about the development of the human brain over a lifetime? This program 

explores the emotional and neurological side of learning, explaining how the brain processes and stores experiences and 

prepares for future decision-making. Employing superb dramatizations, the film depicts Anna's journey from innocent 

teenager to philosophical retiree - and the changes that take place in her cortex, hippocampus, and neural synapses as she 

faces and overcomes challenges. In addition, several influential brain experiments from the past decade are described. 

HOW WE MOVE: The Brain and Biomechanics - the twilight of an active life, Anna is now bedridden due to a serious fall. 

What makes the elderly - even those who are in full possession of their mental and physical faculties - more prone to falling 

than younger people? As this program demonstrates, the answer lies not in the body or the brain alone, but in their 

interconnection. Exploring Anna's past dreams of becoming a ballerina, the film shows how complex physical motion such as 

dancing or even typing requires sophisticated coordination between the body's neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. How 

aging affects such coordination, and how new artificial limb technology enables movement, are important themes. 

HOW WE EAT: From Birth to Death - na was born with a sweet tooth - and as a young woman, created a successful business 

using it. Her delicious jams and jellies gave pleasure to many, but did they also cause harm? This program explores the way 

the human body processes food and how its long-term growth and development are shaped by eating habits. Illustrating 

cellular aging and its relationship to AGEs, or advanced glycation end products, the film also draws a connection between the 

bacteria an infant must consume to build a healthy immune system and the bacteria that consume the body at death. As 

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 

we sit down to a meal. 12840/0635 Three 52-minute programs 2006 $219.95 each or Series $599.95

HEPATITIS B: Catch It Before It Catches You! 

Hepatitis B is the most common Hepatitis virus. 

Unfortunately many of the people who carry the virus 

don't even know they're infected. As a result the 

infection continues to proliferate. But there is a serious 

effort to eradicate this virus, through treatment and 

vaccine programs. The important first step is for those in 

the "at risk" categories to be tested. In this program we 

hear first hand accounts of what could happen if the 

infection remains untreated for many years.

HEPATITIS C: Live Virus Free! 

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne disease affecting millions of 

people. Dangerously, most people infected aren't even 

aware they've contracted it. In this program, infectious 

disease specialists discuss the latest scientific and 

clinical data including treatment options and their side 

effects. We visit with real people who for years were 

unaware they were carrying the virus, found out, sought 

proper treatment and now live virus free.

UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS SERIES 

Sex, drugs, and food - only a few of the means by which hepatitis hijacks and quietly assaults the human body. This series 

presents valuable facts about the causes of, and treatments for, the stealthy virus; it also features case studies that offer a 

real-world perspective on the globe-spanning disease. Pushing beyond the level of a medical primer, the series will enrich 

studies in substance abuse treatment, child care, restaurant training, and much more. 

UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS A - Although it’s the least menacing type of hepatitis, the virus strain known as HAV should not 

be underestimated. This program focuses on the causes and typical treatments for Hepatitis A and guides viewers through the 

different levels of danger that the virus poses to victims. Medical experts - including Dr. Harold Margolis, Former Chief of the 

CDC Hepatitis Branch, Dr. Jay Keystone of the University of Toronto, and travel medicine specialist Dr. Bradley Connor - 

explain the basic science behind HAV infections, describe common symptoms, and spell out preventive and palliative 

strategies. Also, a traveling businessman describes his frustrating experiences with Hepatitis A. 

UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS B - More harmful and resilient than its alphabetic precursor, Hepatitis B is usually transmitted 

sexually or through other close bodily contact. This program explains what distinguishes HBV from other hepatitis strains, 

how it can infect the human body and still go undetected for decades, and how it can be prevented with vaccines. Physicians 

specializing in hepatitis research and care - including Dr. Robert Perrillo of the Ochsner Clinic Foundation, Dr. Anna Lock of 

the University of Michigan Medical Center, and Dr. Frank Mahoney, chief of the CDC’s Hepatitis Prevention Unit - outline both 

successful and tragic case studies and guide viewers through the public health benefits of HBV education and immunization. 

UNDERSTANDING HEPATITIS C - Most people associate cirrhosis with alcoholism - but another cause of liver scarring and 

failure is HCV, one of the most severe strains of hepatitis. This program provides a basic medical understanding of the virus, 

presents various ways that it is transmitted, and explores what many call a groundbreaking method of Hepatitis C treatment. 

Veteran researchers and doctors - Professor Eugene Shiff of the University of Miami Center of Liver Disease, Dr. Ira Jacobson 

of Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Beth P. Bell of the CDC, and others - describe typical HCV danger zones and causes and 

the pronounced risk of liver damage that the virus represents. Advanced antiviral therapies combining interferon and 

ribavirin are also discussed.

THE BASICS OF ANATOMY SERIES 

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: Neurons, Networks & the Brain 

Begins by examining the structure and function of 

neurons; resting, action and post-synaptic potentials; and 

reflexes and neural networks. The peripheral, somatic, 

autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous 

systems are introduced before looking at the central 

nervous system. After describing spinal cord structure and 

function the program then examines the human brain 

including the medula, pons, and cerebellum of the 

hindbrain; the recticular formation of the midbrain; and 

the thalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex of the 

forebrain. 39 minutes 

IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM: Recognition, Attack and 

Memory 

Starts by looking at external barriers to microbial attack 

such as the skin and mucus membranes and non-specific 

internal defenses such as macrophages, natural killer 

cells, and the inflammatory response. The program then 

delves into the immune response including the recognition 

of invaders by antibodies and T-cell receptors, the 

destruction of invaders by antibodies and cytotoxic Tcells, 

and the immunity conferred by memory cells. A 

discussion of how vaccinations work and current AIDS 

research concludes the program. 33 minutes 

THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: Molecular Messengers, 

Chemical Control 

First looks at the chemical structure of various hormones, 

the hormone receptors found on target cells, and the 

feedback mechanisms that regulate hormone levels. After 

explaining the difference between exocrine and endocrine 

glands the program then looks at the various endocrine 

glands and organs including: the hypothalamus; the 

pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands; the 

pancreas, testes and ovaries; and organs such as the 

thymus, kidneys, stomach, small intestine and heart that 

produce hormones. 32 minutes 

RESPIRATION AND CIRCULATION: Gas Exchange, 

Molecular Transport 

Looks at the flow of air through the conducting portions of 

the respiratory system to the alveoli before examining: 

the role of hemoglobin in gas exchange and O2 and CO2 

transport in the blood; the operation of the respiratory 

control center; and the mechanics of breathing. The 

program then investigates the composition of blood and 

how it flows through the heart, arteries, capillaries and 

veins before looking at the role of the lymphatic system in 

fighting infection, transporting fats, and returning 

interstitial fluid to the blood. 35 minutes 

DIGESTION AND EXCRETION: Absorption, Excretion, and 

Homeostasis 

First examines the mechanical and chemical breakdown of 

food that occurs in the mouth and stomach before looking 

at digestion and absorption in the small intestine and the 

enzymes and other chemicals secreted by the liver, gall 

bladder, and pancreas that aid in the process. The 

program then looks at the synthesis of vitamins by 

bacteria in the large intestine and then goes on to explore 

the complex structures in the kidney that allow them to 

filter wastes out of the blood while returning water and 

nutrients. 30 minutes 

MUSCULAR, SKELETAL, AND INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM: 

Defining Our Form 

Begins by introducing the dermis and epidermis of the 

skin; the sweat and sebaceous glands; and the skins role 

in protecting against microbial invasion, ultra-violet 

radiation and in producing vitamin D. The program then 

looks in-depth at the structure and function of skeletal, 

cardiac and smooth muscle before looking at the structure 

of cartilage and bone and the skeletal systems role in 

protecting vital organs, producing blood cells, storing 

nutrients and in conjunction with the muscular system, 

producing movement. 28 minutes

THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BRAIN “Highly Recommended” 

A startling new map of the human brain has emerged during the past decade of neuroscience research, contradicting much of 

what was previously believed. Narrated by Blair Brown and directed by David Grubin, this series tells stories through a mix of 

personal histories, expert commentary, and cutting-edge animation. Viewers learn startling new truths about the brain. 

THE BABY'S BRAIN: Wider Than the Sky - Less than a month after conception, human brain cells are developing at the rate 

of 500,000 per minute. Billions of cells linked by trillions of connections form the brain, but how does it organize itself? What 

are the roles played by genetics and environment in brain development? Episode One traces formation of the infant brain 

through age one, the period when it is most open to molding through external influence and experience. 

THE CHILD'S BRAIN: Syllable from Sound 

The explosion of language in young children provides a dramatic illustration of the young brain at work. How do we learn to 

talk? How do we learn to read? Unlike adults, in whose brains most linguistic activity is restricted to the left hemisphere, very 

young children respond to language with the entire brain. But what happens when the brain is physically compromised? And 

what are the physical roots of language disorders such as dyslexia? 

THE TEENAGE BRAIN: A World of their Own - Parents who believe teenagers are different from other humans may be 

comforted to learn that it is literally true. During puberty the brain is a work in progress, teeming with hormones; areas that 

direct reasoning and impulse control are still in development. During adolescence, people are especially susceptible to 

addiction and schizophrenia, two areas under intensive study and benefiting from increased understanding of brain function. 

THE ADULT BRAIN: To Think By Feeling 

The brain is the seat of both intellect and emotion, and this episode chronicles the critical balance between these processes 

and explores what happens when the balance is lost. Scientists draw insight from the stories of a stroke victim and a sufferer 

of post-traumatic stress disorder, and break new ground in the struggle to understand and treat depression. 

THE AGING BRAIN: Through Many Lives 

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 

true -- in fact, healthy brains continue to produce new neurons well into the 70s. Drawing on the most recent neuroscience 

discoveries, this episode presents a new view of how the brain ages, focusing in part on the remarkable strides being made in 

understanding stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.

This program examines the many side effects of cancer 

treatments, revealing essential medical facts behind them 

and suggesting ways for cancer patients to feel better, 

despite the likelihood of pain, nausea, and other 

debilitations. Discussions address many frequently asked 

questions, such as: When should treatment side effects be 

considered too severe? Which of them can be lifethreatening? 

What methods exist for reducing the impact 

of side effects and tangibly increasing quality of life? 

Expert commentary comes from Dr. Barry Meisenburg of 

the University of Maryland and Dr. Shakun Malik of 

Georgetown University.

ONCOLOGICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT: Alternative Pain Management in Treatment 

In an effort to decrease the disease-related and treatment-related stressors on body functioning, an increasing number of 

cancer patients are seeking out and incorporating complementary approaches into their treatment plan. This series discusses 

such approaches and show how they are utilized in their practice settings. There are two programs in the series: 

RELAXATION AND GUIDED IMAGERY - Cancer imagery aims to help reduce and relieve side effects and also to lessen the fear 

and stress of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. According to an article from the University of California, San Diego, a 

review of 46 studies conducted from 1966 to 1998 by the American Cancer Society found that guided imagery was effective in 

managing stress, anxiety, depression, pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy. Cancer guided imagery is recommended in 

conjunction with prescribed medical treatment, not as a stand-alone therapy. 23 minutes 

THERAPEUTIC TOUCH - Although the word "touch" is part of the modality's name, physical touch is not necessary when 

practitioners offer a treatment. Another name for Therapeutic Touch is Non-Contact Therapeutic Touch (NCTT), giving it the 

moniker 'Distance Healing'. In a state of health, Life Energy flows freely in, through, and out of the field in an orderly 

manner. Disease or injury affects, obstructs, disorders, or depletes the flow of energy. Thereafter, Touch Practitioners 

attempt to influence the energy flow to restore the integrity of the field and move it toward wholeness and health. 16 min.

THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT 

Alzheimer's disease may be affecting as many as five million people and as the Baby Boomer generation moves through 

retirement, that number could more than double. While there is not yet a cure for this disease - more feared than any other 

except cancer - this four program series shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about controlling and, 

eventually, eliminating it. The series also takes a humane but honest look at the devastating effects of Alzheimer's on 

patients and those who love them. An HBO Production. 

THE MEMORY LOSS TAPES 

This program puts a human face on the progression of Alzheimer's disease as it profiles seven people, ages 63 to 87, at 

different stages of the illness. Cases range from a woman fiercely holding onto her independence even as memory lapses 

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 

vocal group, to a woman who must be fenced in, literally, to keep her from wandering off her daughter's property. "We 

wanted to capture a sense of what it was to be inside the disease," says filmmaker Shari Cookson. "You see how everything 

you've learned and been in your life is stripped away - yet you still get these glimmers of the person." 85 minutes $249.95 

GRANDPA, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? with Maria Shriver 

Based on the book What's Happening to Grandpa? by Maria Shriver, this program

whose father has Alzheimer's, offers grandchildren of patients compassionate 

advice on how to cope with a beloved family member's gradual decline into 

dementia through these five case study "lessons". This program is a valuable 

resource both for young people and for counselors and healthcare professionals 

who provide guidance to children and their families. 30 minutes $169.95 

MOMENTUM IN SCIENCE, Parts 1 and 2 

Amidst the heartbreak of Alzheimer's disease, there is real reason for hope. This 

program goes inside the labs and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians 

who are seeking to discover how to better detect and diagnose the disease, delay 

the onset of memory loss, affect the brain changes associated with the disease, 

and ultimately prevent the disease altogether. Alzheimer's hallmark beta-amyloid

powerful! Thank you!" 

This program - featuring Alzheimer expert and author Joanne Koenig Coste, M.Ed. - introduces the key concepts and 

philosophies of her pioneering form of care - habilitation. This simple, compassionate and uncomplicated approach to care 

addresses the needs of the Alzheimer person and creates an environment in which both the patient and carepartner can 

transcend the disease. Offers a wealth of information, practical techniques and guideposts for health professionals,

Alzheimer's patient? This program addresses those questions with the help of expert interviews and compelling case studies. 

Viewers will learn how the disease alters brain chemistry and leads to brain cell loss, and how it is typically diagnosed with 

cognitive tests and by studying patterns in a patient's history. #12564/0635 28 minutes 2006 $129.95 

WHAT’S AGE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Best Seller and Canadian too! 

This riveting program looks at the devastating effects of abuse upon older women within intimate or spousal relationships as 

well as abuse by adult children. Covers a diversity of seniors, representing many different social values, upbringings and 

experience. In common however, many women over sixty retain strong beliefs about privacy and self-reliance, are more 

likely to practice a religion, and are traditionally committed to the family, the husband and the home. Other isolating factors 

associated with age include health and disability issues. The primary message here is that older women can be victims of 

abusive behavior although it is often "silent and invisible". All forms of abuse are unacceptable and an abuser must be 

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 

relationship. Contains disturbing scenes. #8676/0270 14 minutes 2003 Includes guide $179.95 *Also in FRENCH *CC

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 

THE HEALTH CHOICES SERIES 

"Health Choices" is a series of ground-breaking programs that examine the array of 

choices available today to maintain health and combat illness. From everyday 

problems such as headaches to the life-threatening ordeal of heart disease, this series 

explores treatment and therapeutic options, ranging from the conventional to the 

alternative. Will also help viewers understand the scientific basis for a large range of 

health issues and provide information necessary for living a healthy life. 

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION: Am I At Risk? 

We are in the midst of incredible advances in research 

that may permit us to identify the genetic causes of 

disease and identify who may be at risk for various 

diseases. We visit the Genome Project at the NIH and 

explore the status of genetic mapping. There are strong 

advocates of a nutritional approach to disease prevention. 

We visit Dr. Dean Ornish and examine his approach of the 

impact of diet and lifestyle on prevention and even 

reversal of heart disease. Finally, scientists at Berkeley 

and explore the myths and realties of environmental 

causes of disease. #12292 

CONFRONTING CANCER: An Integrated Approach 

A moving portrait of a 30 year-old woman who has battled 

progressive breast cancer for the past 6 years. What 

makes her story unique is that from the initial diagnosis 

onward she has embraced a fully integrated approach to 

the treatment of her disease. She has received the best 

possible conventional care at major cancer centers such 

as Sloan-Kettering, Dana Farber and UCSF. But in addition 

to this she has fully researched and explored alternative 

therapies and with the full support of her oncologist she 

uses energy healing, acupuncture and Tibetan herbs. 

THE HEALING ATTITUDE: The Empowered Patient 

To what degree does a positive attitude help a patient 

cope with an illness and respond to its treatment? We 

explore this issue through the eyes of several patients. We 

also learn that the doctor-patient relationship is 

undergoing some changes. Patients now have access to 

more information - the "empowered patient" is becoming 

more common, and some doctors feel that this 

empowerment is a good thing. 

IN SEARCH OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: Can We Stop 

the Aging Process? 

Scientists are now paying greater attention to the 

principal factors that impact the aging process. There is 

promising research currently underway in the area of the 

genetic basis of the rate of aging. Can we extend the 

average life-span? In addition can we improve the quality 

of life in later years by reducing the susceptibility on 

onset of diseases that come with old age? There are also 

studies focusing on the relationship of diet and lifestyle 

on the aging process. 

NATURE'S PHARMACY: Herbal Medicine 

The use of herbs to improve health and well-being is 

definitely on the rise. We examine the origins of herbal 

medicine that originated in China thousands of years ago. 

The program looks at how these herbs are located and 

produced. We examine the potential dangers of using 

herbal medicine with conventional drugs. We also explore 

the question of determining the potency of the active 

ingredients in herbs in an essentially unregulated 

industry. And at the NIH, we visit scientists who are 

involved in the research of natural products. #12037 

SPIRITUAL 

HEALING: Healing from Within 

Can one's faith or beliefs have an impact on illness? This is 

the theme of this film during which Dr. Torman speaks 

with Dr. Deepak Chopra (Indian spirituality expert), Dr. 

Lewis Mehl-Madronna (psychiatrist of Native American 

heritage and knowledge), Dr. Kenneth Pelletier (author of 

The Best of Alternative Medicine) and country music star, 

Naomi Judd. The current state of research in spirituality 

and healing is one of the issues reviewed in this program.

TELL ME WHERE IT HURTS: A New Way to Look at 

Ordinary Aches and Pains 

Admittedly, traditional doctors have not always been 

effective in understanding and treatment of pain. 

Advances are being made in understanding the causes of 

chronic pain. Tens of millions suffer from some type of 

chronic pain. We examine the treatment of patients with 

various types of chronic pain including headache and 

arthritis pain and what can be done to relieve the 

suffering. 

THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE PAIN 

Doctors are now exploring other avenues beyond drugs to 

deal with acute pain. Researchers and Pain Centers are 

incorporating and evaluating alternative approaches to 

acute pain suffered by patients with debilitating illnesses 

like patients with AIDS. Can alternative therapies be used 

in conjunction with conventional drug treatments to 

reduce the dependency on potentially toxic drugs and 

their side effects? We visit several patients suffering from 

acute pain, including severe failed back pain and examine 

the research underway to deal with this problem. #12101 

UNDERSTANDING THE MIND/BODY CONNECTION: 

Preferred Methods of Treatment 

Fascinating current research underscores the enormous 

role and connection of the mind in enhancing the body's 

ability to heal itself or at least, improve its condition. Dr. 

Howard Torman interviews Dr. Herbert Benson, author of 

the Relaxation Response, Dr. Robert Fried of biofeedback 

fame, Dr. Kenneth Pelletier, author of The Best of 

Alternative Medicine for a clearer understanding of the 

mind's impact on health and illness. In keeping with 

Health Choices' vision, patients and families talk about 

their illnesses and preferred method of treatment. #12038 

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT: Or Are You? 

There are a myriad of diets and nutritional regimens that 

claim to be effective in the prevention, and possibly the 

treatment, of illness. We examine several controversial 

approaches to diet and nutrition. We explore the 

Macrobiotic approach and interview patients who have 

successfully used the diet to treat illness. We also visit 

the Gene Mayer Center at Tufts University, perhaps the 

nation's leading nutritional research institution, and 

explore the research on nutrition and health. #12038

HEALING WITHIN: How Your State of Mind Can Promote Health and Healing 

*Winner! Award of Excellence, First Place - 2007 National Health Information 

Stress can come from a variety of places: work, school, home, family. A build up can affect the body and be the onset to 

serious illnesses. Today, researchers are developing an innovative and holistic approach to combat stress. Meditation and 

relaxation techniques increase the emission of alpha waves by the brain and trigger a series of reactions that sooth the body. 

These techniques have helped patients rediscover their confidence, their identity, and their livelihood while bringing them a 

newfound energy to confront the illness face to face. In this program, five patients share their stories - each an emotional 

battle for survival. #12578/0145 52 minutes 2006 *Includes Guide $189.95 

THE NEW MEDICINE "Watch this program and it will change your life." 

Dr. Mehmet C. Oz, MD, NY Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University 

"Every single patient should be informed that the mind has a huge impact on the body and there are ways you can take 

advantage of that." 

Tracy Gaudet, MD, Duke Center for Integrative Medicine 

Extraordinary changes are taking place in medicine today. Driven by new scientific evidence, doctors are coming to 

understand that treating the body alone is not enough - the mind can also play a critical role in the healing process. Many 

physicians are embracing a more holistic form of healthcare, seeking to heal the whole person. Treatments once considered

health. This program will help your students develop portion awareness. They will become better judges of how much they 

eat so they can take control of their own nutrition. They will learn to replace "super size it" with "intelli-size it".

WASTING AWAY 

In this program, you will see the struggles teens face with Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa from individuals that have 

suffered from this affliction and survived. For reasons that are unclear, some people, mainly young women, develop 

potentially life-threatening eating disorders called bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. People with bulimia, known as 

bulimics, indulge in bingeing (episodes of eating large amounts of food) and purging (getting rid of the food by vomiting or 

using laxatives). People with anorexia, whom doctors sometimes call anorectics, severely limit their food intake. About half 

of them also have bulimia symptoms. Bulimia is also a very deadly physical illness as intentionally purging causes many 

debilitating effects including severe tooth erosion, tears of the esophagus, life threatening potassium imbalances and more. 

More than 20% die form complications relating to their eating disorders. Anorexics similarly are affected by their illnesses in 

many ways ranging from fatigue and lack of energy, amenorrhea (loss of menstruation), loss of bone mass and even cardiac 

arrest and death. #13027 18 minutes 2005 $149.95

COMING HOME FROM WAR SERIES 

In these two important programs, Earnie Larsen focuses on the "new face of courage" needed by many returning service 

personnel to successfully integrate. Many of the qualities imprinted during military training necessary for success in war 

become obstacles to peaceful, successful integration at home. Overriding the power of those qualities takes as true a warrior 

as war demanded. And eventually it all ends up at the table of relationships. 

Part One - THE NEW FACE OF COURAGE - Trauma changes people. War is continual trauma. War changes people. The 

qualities necessary to be successful in war become the same qualities that often block successful reintegration after the war. 

For many this successful reintegration requires a new face of courage for the new kind of battle that recovering from war is. 

Part Two - MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WORK NOW - Successful reintegration eventually is about relationships. Whether the 

relationships are with self or others they require skills. These skills can be learned. They also can be blocked by deeply 

ingrained habits. Overcoming these blocking habits and rising up to new skills requires the highest kind of courage.

THE ANGER BLUEPRINT - This program dramatically teaches responsible Anger, Boundaries and Safety. Based on a

twelve participants as they discover the physiological roots of anger, how to separate anger from violence, communicate 

boundaries, and create safety in their relationships. #11807/0825 90 minutes 2007 $189.95 *Canadian Production 

THE ANGER WORKSHOP SERIES 

Dr. Joann Peterson, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., Dip. C., Ph.D. spent more than 40 years developing anger / violence interventions for 

children and adults and collaborated with professionals and agencies across the United States and Canada. What Dr. Peterson 

found is that strategies to suppress anger often failed when people were under duress. 

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 

anger management programs because Dr. Peterson believes anger is a feeling or emotional response to hurt, fear, 

frustration, helplessness and loss. Since those are natural feelings, she teaches the tools to express them responsibly, 

separate anger from violence and build safety in all relationships. This leads to: better health, enriched relationships, safer 

homes, workplaces and communities, and more passion and effectiveness in your life.

PSYCHOLOGY / SOCIOLOGY 

NORM: A Documentary about Love, Family, and Survival 

*Winner of two Gemini nominations!!! And Donald Brittain Award for Best 

Social/Political Documentary / Best Director. 

Norm was born with Down Syndrome in 1949, in an era that assumed 

children like him would be sent away to institutions and that their life 

expectancy may not exceed 15 years. Though Norman spent much of his 

childhood with his family, he was ultimately put into foster-care by his 

parents. NORM is a love story pure and simple. But there is nothing simple 

about it. It begins with a simple premise - a grown sister decides to step up 

to the plate and rescue and take care of her older mentally challenged 

brother. It evolves into a story of hilarity and healing and the gathering up 

of all the frayed strands of a lost and guilt-ridden family. It speaks to every 

one of us. NORM is an exuberant celebration of life. 


THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS 

This documentary explores recent research into the psychological and physical effects of forgiveness on individuals and 

within relationships under a wide variety of conditions. This includes feature stories on the Amish, the 9/11 tragedy and 

peace-building in Northern Ireland, along with interviews with renowned Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, Nobel Laureate 

Elie Wiesel, best-selling authors Thomas Moore and Marianne Williamson and others. The film also explores the role 

forgiveness holds in various faiths' traditions. It provides an honest look at the intensity of anger and grief that human nature 

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

character-driven stories the film shows the role forgiveness can play in alleviating anger and grief and the physical, mental 

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

EMPATHY TRAINING FOR ETHNIC AND CULTURAL AWARENESS 

Features Max Parker, University of Florida, Gainesville; Chun-Chung Choi, University of Florida, Gainesville. 

What could be a better way to enhance our empathy toward the culturally different than capturing their daily experiences on 

campus? This program features 36 vignettes developed and role-played by college students based on their own experiences of 

feeling marginalized. African American, Asian/Asian American, Caribbean, Gay and Lesbian, Hispanic, American Indian, and 

international students are featured. Audiences not only will gain insight into the experiences that challenge culturally 

different students, but will examine their own assumptions, feelings and attitudes toward them. An ideal program for student 

leaders, counselors, Student Affairs Administrators, professors, advisors, health educators, and anyone else who comes in 

contact with students. #12644/1410 60 minutes 2009 *Includes leader’s Guide $189.95

UNDERSTANDING PREJUCIDE 

Whether it's racial assumptions, views on gender, income, vocation, clothing, even whole cities or suburbs, all of us hold 

prejudicial thoughts. In this intelligent and thought-provoking program we explore some of the reasons why society chooses 

to "accept" some people, but excludes and rejects others. Including a brief historical look at groups of people who have 

experienced prejudice, and why these views differ today, this is an excellent discussion starter for your classroom.

BLIND SPOTS AND BIASES: Hidden Forces that Shape Your Decision 

We use mental shortcuts every day to help us make decisions, and often we don't even realize it. This program explores five 

mental shortcuts, or "blind spots": Expectation, Belief, Availability, Anchors, and Imitation. Learn why optical illusions and 

magic tricks surprise us, and how our need to confirm our beliefs often prevent a cold. Understand how availability affects 

purchasing habits, how a bias can make a normal price seem like a great sale, and what causes laughter to be so contagious.

PERSUASION IN EVERYDAY LIFE 

Viewing this program is like holding a mirror up to your mind! Use it to explore five often hidden forces that shape beliefs 

and judgments: FRAMES, SETTING, FILTERS, SOCIAL INFLUENCE and BELIEF. 


CONVERSATION: Exploring Preconceived Notions about Otherness 

You're walking down the street and you see someone approaching. You glance at his or her face and see - what, exactly? 

Filmed in London, this program brings together more than two dozen total strangers to reveal the hidden judgments people 

make about those they don't know. Cleverly composed of nothing more than juxtaposed faces and unvarnished commentary 

by the film's subjects, Conversation creates an edgy meta-dialogue on how we tend to project our fears and desires onto our 

fellow humans. Illuminating and unsettling-and a guaranteed discussion-starter for courses in the areas of psychology, 

sociology, communications, and race/ethnicity/gender studies as viewers become aware of their own preconceived notions 

about otherness. Original title: Conversation. #12736/0635 19 minutes 2008 $129.95 

THEM AND US - We're all prejudiced about prejudice. We stereotype our stereotypes. We're biased about our biases. We 

create people types called "us" and "them". But every "us" is somebody else's "them"! This program explores common thinking 

habits to show how they can easily lead to hidden assumptions, bias, and prejudice. Stereotyping and prejudice are not 

limited to the ignorant or closed-minded. Its beginnings lie in the almost automatic need to group people into categories and 

to identify clear "us" and "them" groups. The program assumes it is better to identify and challenge your own bias rather than 

declare yourself bias-free. We each have some hidden assumptions about some people types - age, gender, race, ethnicity, 

size, nationality, or lifestyle. Not about specific minority groups, it rather explores the mental processes we use to deal with 

other cultures, with people who do not fit our category of "us". #10399/1120 27 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $125.95 *CC

PREJUDICE: More than Black and White 

Muslims, blacks, gays, people with disabilities, and immigrants of every ethnicity and color: they and many other groups have 

stood in the spotlight glare of intolerance, easy targets for every sort of discrimination and violence. What makes people 

prone to irrational hate, and what steps can individuals and society take to eradicate it? In this program, psychology 

professors Susan Fiske of Princeton University, and Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard University, representatives of the Council on 

American-Islamic Relations and other pro-tolerance groups, and victims of prejudice share their insights and experiences. A 

pro-gay Baptist minister who formerly took a biblical stance against homosexuality and an ex-Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux 

Klan who now speaks out for tolerance also offer their views. *Contains inflammatory language and images

ZIMBARDO SPEAKS: The Lucifer Effect and the Psychology of Evil 

Philip Zimbardo has spent decades researching the transformation of character that occurs when generally good people are 

led to engage in evil actions. In this lecture, Zimbardo discourses on theories of conformity, prejudice, aggression, social 

influence, and antisocial behavior. Topics include the permeability of behavioral boundaries; the nature of evil and its

TIM WISE: On White Privilege 

For years, acclaimed author and speaker Tim Wise has been electrifying audiences on the college lecture circuit with his 

deeply personal take on whiteness and white privilege. In this spellbinding lecture he offers a unique, inside-out view of race 

and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a nonconfrontational 

explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color, but to white people as 

well. This is an invaluable classroom resource: an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a 

critical new tool for exploring the often invoked - but seldom explained - concept of white privilege.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Instinctive Reactions and What They Reveal 

What happens when ordinary people become witnesses to upsetting events - such as a theft in 

progress, the possibility of domestic violence, or the abuse of another citizen's civil rights? Do most 

people follow the same emotional and psychological patterns when reacting? Is there such a thing 

as a "normal" reaction? This three-part ABC News series captures raw responses to staged situations 

with the help of actors and hidden cameras. Whether compelled to take action or to mind his or 

her own business, each unknowing participant makes a split-second - and often surprising - decision 

that will interest students of psychology, sociology, and ethics. 

CONFRONTING DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICE - Encourage students to explore biases and 

stereotypes with this group of segments. Each scenario puts actors into exchanges with unwitting 

bystanders, generating a wide range of responses - from overt hostility towards other races and 

cultures to acts of genuine compassion. Scenes include a bakery clerk's refusal to serve a Muslim 

woman wearing a headscarf; cruelty towards an overweight woman seated on a boardwalk; a very 

public argument that threatens to become violent; and a purse-snatching in a crowded square, 

after which witnesses are asked to view a suspect lineup. Repeating the two latter situations, 

producers achieve varying reactions among onlookers by switching the races of the actors. 

STANDING UP AS A CITIZEN - Spark class discussion on civic responsibility with this compilation of ABC News segments. 

Each scenario involves onlookers who - unaware that they are observing actors in staged situations - exhibit a variety of 

responses, from complacency to outrage. Scenes include flagrant littering at a seaside resort; displays of hypocrisy when the 

chance to be a Good Samaritan arises; illegal use of a disabled-only spot, even as a truly deserving driver attempts to park 

there; and another parking-space dispute, this one concerning severe damage to surrounding cars and an offending driver 

who doesn't care. Viewers will find several opportunities to explore the meaning of good citizenship and the importance of 

community involvement. 

OPPOSING AGGRESSION AND BULLYING - Initiate lectures and class dialogue with this cluster of ABC News segments on 

violence, aggressive behavior, and crime. In each scenario, actors draw unassuming spectators into tense and often disturbing 

situations - with a broad spectrum of results. Scenes include intense verbal bullying by three teen girls against one in a very 

public setting; a racially loaded incident in which three teenagers vandalize an automobile in broad daylight; the theft of a 

wallet in a crowded restaurant while some onlookers apparently couldn't care less; and an occurrence of the shocking 

nationwide phenomenon known as bum-bashing, in which a homeless person is attacked for no apparent reason. Each scene is 

designed to provoke both introspection and group debate.

UNDERSTANDING SOCIOLOGY SERIES 

This series of seven programs discusses origins, core concepts, and applications of sociological theory, sociology’s relationship 

to evolving societal frameworks, the conducting of sociological research, and much more! 

CORE CONCEPTS IN SOCIOLOGY - Sociology, in a nutshell, is about why people behave in the ways that they do, and the key 

premise is that behavior is shaped by the contexts in which people live. This multi-segment program introduces the 

sociological concepts of personal, social, and role identity; of primary and secondary socialization; and of culture, with its 

associated concepts of learned norms and values, ethnocentrism, cultural diversity, and cultural change. 37 minutes 

SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY AND METHODS - This multi-section program addresses classical social theory, examining the origins 

of sociology through the efforts of Marx and Comte to build a holistic science of society; positivism, through a case study of 

students using surveys to do research on education; interpretivism, through a parallel case study in which students use 

interviews to carry out their research; and realism, comparing it to classical, positivist, and interpretivist approaches. The 

video also draws upon a case study of suicide to illustrate how positivist and interpretivist approaches lead researchers to ask 

very different questions about this key sociological topic. 41 minutes 

MAKING SENSE OF SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY - This multi-section program explains the role of sociological theory, distinguishes 

between structure and action, and sheds light on three major perspectives in sociology—societies as organic structures, 

societies as economic structures, and societies as social action—by looking at their origins and key ideas and then showing 

how they can be applied. The video concludes by using a case study on the medicalization of life problems in contemporary 

societies as an opportunity to consider how Durkheimian, Marxist, and interactionist theories might explain that 

phenomenon. 57 minutes 

FROM MODERNITY TO POSTMODERNITY: A Sociological Inquiry - Sociologically speaking, how does postmodernity differ 

from modernity? This multi-section program seeks to answer that question as it evaluates sociology’s relationship to an 

evolving societal framework. Topics such as greater personal choice, increasingly fragmented identities, multiplying 

uncertainties, and media saturation are considered, along with some of the contradictions inherent in the postmodern 

position. In addition, a case study comparing modernist views of gender and gender differences with the postmodernist view 

that fragments and blurs the boundaries of gender identities is included. 46 minutes 

THE SOCIOLOGY OF CRIME AND DEVIANCE - Taking into account the dramatic shift in the focus of research in recent years 

from theories about criminal activity to applications of crime prevention, this multi-section program compares and contrasts 

the concepts of social causation, social construction, and social control as they relate to the sociology of crime and deviance. 

Topics include the influence of wider social forces on theories about crime, the reevaluation of criminals as victims or rebels, 

and three examples of the movement toward a greater pragmatism concerning crime: socio-environmental control, 

situational crime prevention, and Braithwaite’s restorative justice. 40 minutes 

THE SOCIOLOGY OF FAMILIES AND HOUSEHOLDS - This multi-section program examines the relationships between 

established sociological perspectives - structural functionalism, Marxist theory, and early feminist theory - and the family; 

investigates how over several decades the decline in marriage, an increase in cohabitation and divorce, and the lowering 

fertility rate in the U.K. have affected the British nuclear family; and juxtaposes the old sociology of families and the new, 

with its emphasis on comparative analysis and how family relationships are negotiated in everyday life. Concludes with a look 

at how changes in family life can be linked to changes in wider society and asks if families have a future. 40 minutes 

DOING SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH - This multi-segment program focuses on the world of education as it addresses aspects of 

how to conduct sociological research. After defining what exactly constitutes research, the video defines the concepts of 

reliability, validity, and representativeness through a study of social interaction in schools; sheds light on essential ideas in 

survey research via a study of educational inequalities; considers decision-making and social capital in education while 

presenting the use of interviews in sociological research; and illustrates ethnography in action as it tracks a study of 

surveillance in schools using observational methods. 37 minutes

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHOLOGY SERIES 

This six program series is designed to make some of psychology's more abstract theoretical and methodological issues 

accessible to students through case studies and examples that relate to everyday life experiences. 

PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH IN CONTEXT 

This program clarifies selected principles of science by contextualizing them through easily comprehensible applications of 

psychological research. Divided into five sections, the video illustrates the hypothetical-deductive model of scientific 

reasoning via Piaget's classic conservation experiment and Donaldson and McGarrigle's challenge of it; the analysis of 

statistics involving scenarios in which a record producer considers signing a new band and a student carries out IQ testing; the 

use of graphs to present data from a study of romance ads; the concept of statistical significance through the conducting of 

memory tests; and data interpretation through a study measuring levels of aggression. 29 minutes 

PERSPECTIVES ON PSYCHOLOGY 

Better self-control begins with an understanding of the psychological factors that affect behavior. Section one of this 

program focuses on the influence of brain structure, brain chemistry, and genetics on behavior; section two illustrates key 

concepts of psychoanalytic theory; and section three distinguishes between classical and operant conditioning. Strengths and 

limitations of the biological, psychodynamic, and behaviorist perspectives are addressed as well. The program concludes by 

considering the issue of determinism and free will. 41 minutes 

MENTAL DISORDER 

What is abnormality? Using the case studies of two young women-one who has depression, one who has an anxiety disorder-as 

a springboard, this program presents three psychological perspectives on mental disorder. Section one considers it as a bodily 

disease, identifying underlying assumptions of the biomedical model and illustrating the treatments it offers. Section two 

looks at it as a disease of the mind, developing the view that the origins of some mental disorders may lie in people's 

experiences. And section three outlines the basis of the constructionist perspective and the idea that mental disorder is 

socially defined. The increasing medicalization of behavior is also addressed. 30 minutes 

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY 

Drawing upon laboratory and field experiments, this program compares and contrasts experimental research methods through 

an attractiveness study involving young adults. Section one observes how subjects respond to photos in two lab environments 

- one comfortable, and one not. Then, section two repeats the experiment in two field locales: a trendy bar and a dull coffee 

shop. Does context make a difference to the outcomes? Concludes with a third section, in which experts explore some of the 

issues common to both experimental methods: demand characteristics, ethical concerns, and reductionism. 28 minutes 

NON-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY 

This program presents non-experimental research methods - questionnaires, interviews, and naturalistic observation - 

through three studies on the effects of cell phone use. Section one explains good questionnaire design while considering both 

the advantages and limitations of this method. Section two examines the use of unstructured interviews, a more nuanced 

approach to data collection. And section three spotlights the performance of naturalistic observation - and in the process 

illustrates some of the practical difficulties and ethical issues involved in this type of research. 34 minutes 

CLASSIC STUDIES IN PSYCHOLOGY 

This program brings to life five of psychology's most significant studies: Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment, 1961; Milgram's 

Study of Obedience, 1963; Ainsworth's Strange Situation Experiment, 1971 and 1978; Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment, 

1973; and Loftus's Eyewitness Testimony Experiment, 1974. Footage from the original experiments and from contemporary 

reconstructions is featured throughout, along with expert commentary and analysis. 38 minutes

INTRODUCING CANNABIS: Risks, Laws 

and Habits 

Cannabis is often regarded as a relatively safe, albeit 

illegal drug, compared with hard drugs such as cocaine

MESSING WITH HEADS: Marijuana and Mental 

Illness 

For decades, heavy marijuana use has been linked to 

impaired judgment and mental ability but now there is 

another link to mental illnesses, specifically schizophrenia 

and paranoid psychosis. Citing a wealth of clinical 

evidence and observations by neurologists, psychiatrists, 

and psychologists, the program delves into the frightening

KHARAAB DARU: Bad Medicine 

The production of this program was inspired by a recent tragedy that occurred in which a Punjabi man shot and killed his 

wife and also shot his daughter during a family conflict. Newspaper articles at the time indicated that the man was feeling 

depressed after his business failed and he began to drink heavily. In the Punjabi community it is common to refer to alcohol 

as medicine. Some Punjabi men misuse alcohol in a failed attempt to cope with personal suffering or problems. In "Bad 

Medicine" well known Punjabi-speaking professionals including police, doctors, counselors, family support workers, 

psychiatrist, and elders, along with individuals impacted by alcohol, share their knowledge with respect to the harms and 

risks associated with problem drinking, mistaking alcohol as medicine, how alcohol impairs mental and physical functioning, 

drinking and driving, addiction and family violence, and the benefits of recovery. *In Punjabi with English Subtitles

arrest addiction but also move the recovering person into the life of The Promises. Much of their focus has been lost over the

SOBER LIFE TREATMENT SERIES 

This series by Delbert Boone is the cognitive restructuring tool that addiction treatment programs have been waiting for. The 

three programs provide thought-provoking group discussion as it forces the viewer to take a serious look at their lifestyle, 

behavior, attitude and what they need to do in early sobriety. 

MY BEHAVIOR EXPLAINED - Delbert discusses typical addict behavior and helps the viewer take a serious look at where 

addiction and getting high has taken them and how it has affected their behavior and caused them to react to various 

situations in their life. He explains how getting high pushes you away from your family and in many cases leads to the 

criminal element and unhealthy lifestyles. 

MY ATTITUDE, CHANGING PERSPECTIVES - Delbert continues to examine typical addict behavior and how an unhealthy 

attitude distorts the way you perceive information around you. Then he explains the importance of changing the way you do 

business with the world. He discusses how AA, NA, other 12-Step support groups and sponsors are a great way to help you 

develop a healthy positive attitude and can provide you with the support you will need to make the necessary changes and 

adjustments in your life to live a sober lifestyle. 

DEDICATING YOURSELF TO SOBRIETY - Delbert discusses early sobriety and the importance of letting a sponsor and 12-Step 

meetings help guide you through the despair, loneliness, guilt, fear and boredom of early sobriety. He addresses how getting 

high has filled their life with unhealthy behaviors and decisions, that they have basically been living their life in a vacuum 

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 

focused on being around healthy people. He explains how sobriety can be made easier if you learn to follow directions.

TRIGGERING EFFECT by Claudia Black Ph.D. 

Putting your finger on the trigger of a gun indicates a bullet is about to be fired. For addicted persons, triggers are signals 

that they are entering a stage that brings them closer to relapse. Whether the client struggles with a substance or behavioral 

addiction, Dr. Claudia Black asks the viewer to think seriously about triggers and identify warning signs that one is entering a 

zone of jeopardy. Claudia sets the foundation for addressing triggers by using the analogy of how triggers are like a roller 

coaster that once it begins its downward descent, there is no turning back. Staying on the cutting edge of the field of 

addiction, she describes the relationship of triggers to brain chemistry and how triggers can hijack the brain's thinking and 

lead to relapse. She reinforces the concept that repeated recovery practices help to rewire the brain. With the use of eight 

actors, male and female of all ages, Claudia introduces and discusses six critical triggers. This video can be utilized with an 

individual client, in group settings and with families. #12316/0110 36 minutes 2009 Includes PDF Handouts $219.95

people, input from Saul Selby (previously the Clinical Director at Hazelden) and Slick, an animated puppet that represents 

the addicted voice designed to help viewers gain insight into their own self destructive thinking process. Each program

downloadable worksheets to assist counselors in leading a group discussion.

denial is, why addicts deny their addiction and how to 

overcome it.

addictive substance for another and help them recognize 

the importance of avoiding all mood altering chemicals

need to recover from addiction. 

4) RELAPSE PREVENTION - Viewers will understand how 

to anticipate and manage cravings and triggers that cause 

relapse.

their using pattern. Learn the seven DSM criteria for 

dependence as well as criteria for substance abuse so 

they can recognize them in themselves. 

6) RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY - Perhaps the most 

important task for people in early recovery is to avoid 

their 'using' friends and develop new 'healthy' friends.

their taking responsibility for that anger in order to eliminate problems with relationships, getting and keeping jobs, and 

staying out of trouble with the law. He provides strategies and techniques that will help viewers change their behavior and

ENCOUNTER GROUPS FOR ADDICTIONS 

Encounter groups are at the heart of therapeutic communities. They demonstrate a break from traditional addiction 

counseling techniques and have been proven to be an effective and important means for change. However, institutional 

demands including increased paperwork and funding cuts have recently threatened the livelihood of encounter groups. In this 

series, Rod Mullen creates a strong argument for how and why we need to keep the encounter group thriving. Illustrated with 

powerful and compelling vignettes from actual encounter groups, these videos explore how encounter groups have evolved, 

what we can do to improve groups and overcome pitfalls, and what the keys are to leading successful groups. 

Volume 1: EVOLUTION OF THE ENCOUNTER GROUP 

Mullen explores the evolution of encounter groups beginning with the first groups created by Synanon founder Chuck Dederich 

in the 1950s. Mullen discusses the essential elements of these first groups including honesty, authenticity and mutual selfhelp-elements 

that are still core to encounter groups today. He highlights that although the brutal confrontational style of 

the first groups have softened, the commitment to hold oneself and other accountable remains central. He also discusses the 

challenges that face encounter groups and offers guidance on how to work within managed care systems while holding on to 

the traditions that make encounter groups such an effective means for change. 65 minutes 

Volume II: PITFALLS AND SOLUTIONS 

Mullen walks us through several groups to show us what works and what does not work when facilitating an encounter group. 

He warns us of several traps facilitators can fall into: dominating the group, getting into power struggles, not being prepared 

or knowing the group members, and leading groups that are too large and don't go deep enough. Through numerous 

vignettes, he illustrates solutions to these common problems, and offers words of experience and wisdom to the encounter 

group facilitator: know your people, be prepared, get feedback, and listen, listen, listen! 75 minutes 

Volume III: KEYS TO FOSTERING GROWTH 

Mullen discusses several key components to fostering growth and change in groups. He first explores the "marathon group" 

and how these day or weeklong sessions can bring participants into deeper understanding of themselves and what they need 

to change. He then discusses the importance of moral growth and ways in which facilitators can lead groups to foster it by 

providing credible role models, healthy levels of conflict, role-reversal, and the teaching of responsibility. Finally, Mullen 

discusses the prevalence of PTSD among addicts and how encounter groups offer opportunities to heal from childhood abuse.

GOING HOME: Teens Re-entering Society 

All former inmates have a hard time adjusting to life outside prison, but teenagers face their own specific set of challenges 

after doing time. This series shows how that adjustment process often plays out and how its hardships can be minimized. 

Filmed in large part at the Riker's Island Academy, a GED-level school that has helped turn hundreds of inmates' lives around, 

the series covers the major sources of conflict that young people will encounter when reentering society. Addressing the dayto-day 

challenges of newfound, uncertain freedom, these two programs illustrate how a support system can be built with the 

help of family, peers, caseworkers, and even correctional staff. 

FROM THE INSIDE: Personal Challenges for Teens Reentering Society - For many inmates at juvenile correctional facilities, 

looking ahead to freedom brings anxiety and doubt. This program illustrates the challenges that often await young offenders 

following incarceration and shows teen inmates preparing to face the corporate world, their families, and themselves. 

Overcoming illiteracy, building marketable work skills, and becoming familiar with employment counseling and job search 

techniques are some of the subjects explored. The emotional side of leaving prison - including homecomings with elated 

parents and siblings and the counseling that often accompanies those reunions - is also illustrated in depth. 21 minutes 

ON THE OUTSIDE: Social Challenges for Teens Reentering Society - The importance of guidance programs for prisoners can't 

be overstressed - they help society as well as the individual reentering it. Following young people who have been discharged 

from Riker's Island Academy, this program focuses on the payoffs that come from educational and counseling services for 

those behind bars. A lively peer-to-peer class setting is featured, while the process of court-ordered drug-testing is 

illustrated in detail by a visit to an ex-offender's home - highlighting a central concern of many young people trying to find 

meaning and success on the outside. A wealth of insight is provided on the advantages gained from structured vocational and 

recreational programs. 23 minutes. #11532/0635 Two programs 2008 $129.95 each or Series $249.95

FORENSICS SCHOOL: Inside a Criminal Justice Training Center 

For coursework involving difficult and sometimes disturbing material, it doesn't hurt to show students what their compatriots 

in other schools are going through. This series goes inside the Forensic Science and Police and Criminal Investigation program 

at the U.K.'s renowned University of Central Lancashire. Each episode focuses on a particular group of students as they sift 

through mock-ups of real-world crime scenes and put theory to the test in complex lab work. Featuring many practical skills 

and investigative processes needed to work in the criminal justice field, the series also helps shed light on career 

opportunities and choices. ***Viewer discretion is advised for all programs. 

BODIES, BLOOD, AND BALLISTICS - From the physics of bullet trajectories to the grim details of human decay, forensic 

science is a challenging discipline for any student to enter. This program ushers viewers into the prestigious Forensic Science 

department at the University of Central Lancashire in Great Britain. Tests and coursework involve ballistics experiments used 

to solve a shotgun shooting case; an introduction to blood splatter analysis at the school's mock crime scene facility; and an 

ordeal that every first-year forensics school scholar, regardless of his or her personal goals and sensitivities, is required to 

undergo - the Death and Decomposition lecture. 

HANDS-ON POLICE WORK - Fingerprint analysis, crime scene photography, the fine art of grave digging - these are only a few 

of the highlights on the path to mastering forensic science. This program follows the progress of students in the respected 

Forensic Science department at the University of Central Lancashire. As part of the Forensic Anthropology course, a thirdyear 

student has to put himself in the mind-set of a murderer as he learns how to dispose of human remains. Meanwhile, 

first-year students knuckle down at the school's mock crime scene facility for a practical test in fingerprinting and crime 

scene documentation within various simulated scenarios. 

CRIME SCENE CHRONICLES - Criminal investigators must be able to analyze any type of crime scene, be it a criminal's 

abandoned car or the elegant surroundings of a manor house. This program follows crime scene studies undertaken in the 

renowned Forensic Science department at the University of Central Lancashire in the U.K. Viewers accompany first-year 

Police and Criminal Investigation students as they gather evidence from within and outside mock automobiles; attempt to 

solve an armed robbery of wealthy partygoers through lab analysis of blood, fabric, and glass shards; and confront several 

other realistic and often gory crime scenarios. 

FROM CANINES TO COURTROOM - Although they perform a vital service, police dogs aren't the only creatures to keep track 

of at crime scenes - wild animals can play a role, too. This program studies the usefulness of canines and the often confusing 

influence of scavengers as it documents coursework at the University of Central Lancashire's Forensic Science department. In 

addition to portraying the police skills of man's best friend and the difficulty of locating victims' remains in a forest 

environment, the program also looks at preparations for a mock trial. Students in the Forensic Law module must organize and 

present findings as if they are expert witnesses delivering scientific testimony for the prosecution. 

GOODBYE CLASSROOM, HELLO CRIME - Creating a DNA profile, identifying skeleton parts, finding hidden graves - just a few 

loose ends to tie up before graduation! This program represents the culmination of three challenging years in the Forensic 

Science department at the University of Central Lancashire. But first, viewers follow a first-year student as she prepares for a 

genetic profiling exam and a second-year as she studies human infrastructure for an impending bone quiz. After two thirdyears 

face a final test in locating clandestine burial sites, it's on to the commencement party - where departing students 

reflect on their experiences, discuss career plans, and contemplate life after Forensics School.

THE ART OF THE INTERVIEW - Featuring Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and documentary producer Patti 

Obrow White, this program explores the art and science of conducting journalistic interviews. White shares her knowledge of 

numerous topics, such as preparing to meet the subject, establishing a relationship quickly, understanding the pressure 

points of an interview, speaking with children, and dealing with difficult subjects like "the reactor", "the avoider", "the 

salesman", and "the bad guy". The result is an excellent resource for aspiring reporters, writers, and documentary producers, 

as well as police officers, private investigators, and attorneys. Employers - and job applicants seeking an employer's 

perspective - will also benefit from White's advice. #11932/0405 46 minutes 2008 $219.95

VOICES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS with Robert Firestone, PhD 

What prevents most people from being able to sustain romantic, meaningful relationships that satisfy their needs and desires? 

In this film, actual group participants identify negative thoughts or voices toward themselves and others that seriously impair 

their capacity for intimate relating. Dr. Robert Firestone helps them identify and understand this negative thought process, 

and challenge the self-defeating behavior patterns through the powerful technique of Voice Therapy. Voice Therapy quickly 

taps into clients' core negative beliefs and combines insight with deep effect in a way that profoundly shifts clients' point of 

view toward self and others to a more compassionate and realistic perspective. By verbalizing their negative thoughts in the 

second person, clients are able to separate themselves from their harsh and hostile inner voices. Through the use of this 

technique and further collaboration with the therapist on resisting destructive 

acting out and increasing positive behavior, clients gain greater levels of intimacy 

in their relationships, experience a lift in their depression, and resist relapse into 

self-defeating behaviors. #12823/1745 46 minutes 2009 $149.95 

GENDER AND COMMUNICATION: Styles and Stereotypes 

The moment someone declares, "It’s a boy!" or "It’s a girl!" the biological make up 

of that child isn’t the only thing established - a process of gendering begins and 

continues throughout that person’s life. One aspect of that process is how we learn 

to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways 

to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum 

of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate 

from the norm. #5101/1120 21 minutes 2009 $125.95 

MICHAEL KIMMEL ON GENDER: Mars, Venus or 

Planet Earth? Women and Men in a New Millennium 

We've heard again and again that men and women are 

engaged in a "battle of the sexes" that we are so 

differently wired and so foreign to each other that we 

might as well come from different planets. In this 

powerful new lecture, renowned speaker and bestselling 

author Michael Kimmel (The Gendered Society, Manhood 

in America) turns this conventional wisdom on its head. 

With clarity and humor, Kimmel moves beyond the 

popular inter-planetary notion that "men are from Mars 

and women are from Venus" to advance a decidedly more 

earth-bound and inter-connected view of things men and 

women have in common. This is an accessible and 

entertaining introduction to gender politics and gender 

theory - as intellectually informative as it is inspiring, and 

suited for use across a range of disciplines and courses.

IN THE COMPANY OF WOMEN 

Women can be best friends or worst enemies. Women 

have profound emotional ties to other women. Even when 

a woman finds the male love of her life, the bonds she 

shares with female friends usually remain unshaken. 

However, when a woman gets promoted, who is often the 

first to attack? Other women, of course! In fact, 

relationships between women often polarize at two 

extremes: either they're truly wonderful or they're quite 

terrible. Why is this topic of critical importance today? 

Half of the workforce is women and when women are 

working well together, productivity and morale escalate 

throughout the entire organization. Drs. Heim and Murphy 

help viewers improve working relations based on lessons 

The Golden Triangle and the Power Dead-Even Rule teach.

INVISIBLE RULES: Men, Women and Teams - Revised 

Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they 

have different rules regarding what is considered 

"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately, neither 

gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and 

often misread what is being communicated. 

Consequently, what seems natural to one gender culture 

can seem mysterious and baffling to the other. The 

differences are not right or wrong but they can result in 

confusion and conflict. By making these Invisible Rules 

visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis for better 

understanding, communication and teamwork. 


POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE AND OTHER GENDER 

DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE - Revised 

Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they 

have different rules regarding what is considered 

"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately neither 

gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and 

often misread what is being communicated. Women may 

see men as belligerent and insensitive. Men often see 

women as over-emotional. What they don't understand is 

that both men and women are doing what works in their 

own culture. Unfortunately, the same behavior can 

backfire across culture. Consequently, what seems natural 

to one gender culture can seem mysterious and baffling to 

the other. In her thoughtful and lively presentation Dr. 

Heim will explain some of the different rules of the male 

and female cultures and help viewers understand and 

learn to improve workplace communication between men 

and women instead of placing the blame on either gender. 


COMMUNICATING WITH TACT, CANDOR, AND CREDIBILITY 

This engaging program shows you how to connect with co-workers, team members and supervisors and gives you a four-step

maintain your composure with the coworker who's "in your face" and use "prompt and paraphrase" when the boss issues a 

vague angry criticism. Covers topics including: rephrasing: making "talking points" tactfully; what to say: the art of scripting; 

lightweight speech patterns; and jargon-filled corporate speak. #11786/1120 19 minutes 2008 Includes Guide $125.95 *CC

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION AND CONFLICT 

In this program, Thomas E. Harkins of New York University examines conflict, outlines the potential benefits of conflict, 

presents various definitions for conflict, negates common misconceptions surrounding conflict, discusses sources and patterns 

of conflict, and discusses conflict management and prevention. He looks at pragmatic and social constructionist views of 

communication and conflict; emphasizes the role of context in determining communication content; and explains how 

differences in core beliefs, values, attitudes, habits, and goals can cause conflicts, even when these differences occur on a 

subconscious level. The program contrasts constructive and destructive patterns of conflict, outlines the characteristics of 

destructive conflict, and presents constructive methods of conflict management. It covers such topics as flexibility, 

paralinguistics, avoidance and engagement, styles and tactics of conflict resolution, and the role of egocentrism in conflict.

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION WITH PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT AGES 

Emphasizing the role of respect in all interpersonal interactions, this program examines communication with individuals of 

different ages and considers the ways in which human development affects communication abilities. It outlines the 

developmental psychology and life-space perspectives of human development and explains that age groups are social 

constructs. The program explores the role of positive and negative stereotypes in age-related communication, outlines the 

natural reasons individual create and use stereotypes, shows how stereotypes provide categories that offer cues for 

appropriate behavior, discusses the limits of stereotypes, and teaches how to employ stereotypes and the recognition of their 

existence to treat people of all ages as unique individuals. The program also offers skills and techniques for communicating 

with individuals of different ages and provides specific guidelines for modifying communication to enhance interpersonal 

interactions with infants, toddlers, adolescents, and older adults. #12875/0880 22 minutes 2008 $259.95 *CC 

PRINCIPLES OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION 

In this program, Karina Alexanyan of Columbia University outlines the functions of interpersonal communication, 

instrumental, prevention, phatic, affective, and deceptive forms; introduces the theory behind interpersonal communication; 

and teaches how to increase the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions. Explaining that communication cannot be 

separated from context and that context can be as important to communication as the words spoken, Alexanyan explores the 

variables that define context, including situation, style, function, participants, body language, and conscious and unconscious 

assumptions and intentions. She considers the influences of group affiliation and diversity on interpersonal interactions; 

discusses such facets of nonverbal communication as body language, personal appearance, proxemics, paralanguage, haptics, 

and chronemics; examines listening and offers tips to improve listening effectiveness; and covers such interpersonal skills as 

relating, conflict management, responding to self-disclosure, giving and receiving feedback, and enhancing communication 

with individuals from diverse backgrounds. The DVD includes vignettes that illustrate effective and ineffective interpersonal 

interactions. #12873/0880 25 minutes 2008 $259.95 *CC 

BODY LANGUAGE SERIES 

Some of your students may be bilingual and some may have taken a course in Spanish, Latin, or Japanese. But are any of 

them fluent in Kinesics? Kinesics is the study of body language as a form of communication. When we read a billboard, its 

message is usually larger than life and quite clear. Is it possible to read people's thoughts and feelings just by looking at 

them? Well, we can get pretty close if we learn to identify the silent signals they send. These two programs go “beyond 

words” and help us “read people”. 

BODY LANGUAGE I: Beyond Words - People engaged in a conversation may exchange 200 words per minute, but more than 

half of their communication is nonverbal. We often use gestures, postures and eye contact without thinking twice about 

them, but these behaviors can communicate so much beyond the words that we use. The way we treat our personal space 

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 

look into the fascinating world of nonverbal communication and guides viewers through the land of space wars, tongue 

showing, mirrored postures and the many layers that make up unspoken communication. 

BODY LANGUAGE II: Reading People 

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, 

speed and inflections of our voices communicate in ways that we many not intend. Through the study of emblems, 

illustrators, affect displays and eye behavior, a student of body language can gain insight to what people express beyond the 

words that they use. When people do use words, students can learn to identify and interpret paralanguage. This program 

provides valuable information about interpreting body language by presenting fun, easy to understand and real life examples. 

If your students apply this information and do some intelligent people watching, they'll see a whole new world of 

communication they may never have noticed.

program investigates ways in which facial expressions and 

nonverbal communication determine political charisma 

and power. Presenting examples from a wide range of 

historical and current sources, the film shows how 

psychologists diagram and analyze media images of 

politicians. Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, 

and Bill Clinton are studied, as well as French president 

Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

THE ART OF LISTENING 

We spend more time listening than any activity except breathing, yet we listen at only a fraction of our potential. This 

engaging program teaches practical techniques to use immediately and presents listening as a skill your students can learn, 

practice, and perfect. Uses home and workplace situations to teach seven "Laws of Good Listening". Illustrates the surprising 

value of attentive silence, the need to find something of interest in the person speaking, and the importance of staying out 

of the speaker's way. The techniques suggest how and when to take notes, the role of body language in listening, and the 

need to "listen between the words" for feelings. Explores how people use different "filtering systems" to give the same 

message completely different meanings. Each "law" is a key toward improved listening and communication.

REMOTE CONTROL: Children, Media Consumption and the Changing 

American Family 

The average American child spends over 40 hours per week consuming media, the 

equivalent of a full-time job. This means that by the time children born today turn 30, 

they will have spent an entire decade of their lives in front of some type of screen. 

Remote Control, based on the findings of the Kaiser Family Foundation's landmark study 

"Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8 to 18-year-olds", examines the implications of 

this unprecedented level of exposure. Putting a human face on the report's statistical 

findings, filmmaker Bob McKinnon explores the media habits of two families, 

supplementing their powerful personal insights with testimony from media experts, 

educators, and policymakers. Remote Control offers a fascinating look at the centrality 

of media in our lives, revealing far-reaching effects that we are only beginning to 

understand, and suggesting ways we might begin to help our children live a life instead 

of watching one. #13020 38 minutes 2007 $129.95 (Colleges & Universities $249.95) 

CONSUMING KIDS: The Commercialization of Childhood 

With virtually no government or public outcry, the multi-billion dollar youth marketing 

industry has been able to use the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and 

neuroscience to transform North American children into one of the most powerful and 

profitable consumer demographics in the world. Kids now influence an estimated $700 

billion in annual spending, targeted virtually from birth with a relentless bombardment 

of sophisticated commercial appeals designed to sell everything from Hollywood 

merchandise and junk foods to iPods, cell phones, the family car and vacations. The result is that childhood itself has been 

commercialized. Drawing on the insights of experts, industry insiders, and children themselves, this program traces the 

evolution and impact of this disturbing and unprecedented phenomenon, exposing the youth marketing industry's 

controversial tactics and exploring the effect of hyper-consumerism on the actual lived experience of children.

up-to-date images, offers a unique and powerful tool for understanding both the continuing influence of music videos and 

how pop culture more generally filters the identities of young men and women through a dangerously narrow set of myths 

about sexuality and gender. In doing so, it inspires viewers to reflect critically on images that they might otherwise take for 

granted. *Also available in a 35 minute abridged version DVD #11389 (edited for nudity, profanity, and length). Both full and 

abridged versions contain violence and sexual imagery. Viewer discretion advised. 


THE PRICE OF PLEASURE: Pornography, Sexuality and Relationships 

* IMPORTANT! This DVD contains two versions of this program. Viewer discretion is strongly advised on both - one is edited 

for some of the violence, nudity, and sexual imagery and the other full version contains blatant sex and violence unedited. 

Once relegated to the margins of society, pornography has become one of the most visible and profitable sectors of the 

cultural industries in the United States. It is estimated that the pornography industry's annual revenue has reached $13 

billion. At the same time, the content of pornography has become more aggressive, also more overtly sexist and racist. 

This film features the voices of consumers, critics, and pornography producers and performers. It is particularly revealing 

when male pornographers openly discuss their views about women and how men should relate to them, and when male and 

female porn users candidly discuss the role pornography has played in shaping their sexual imaginations and relationships. 

Honest and nonjudgmental, the film paints both a nuanced and complex portrait of how pleasure and pain, commerce and 

power, and liberty and responsibility are intertwined in the most intimate aspects of human relations. At the same time, the 

film examines the unprecedented role that commercial pornography now occupies in U.S. popular culture. Going beyond the 

debate of liberal versus conservative so common in the culture, this program provides a holistic understanding of 

pornography as it debunks common myths about the genre.

BEAUTY MARK: Body Image and the Race for Perfection 

"A fresh, honest film about self-image and the disconnect between our minds and our bodies. Beauty Mark exposes the myriad 

emotional, cultural, and psychological influences that compel us to measure ourselves against an elusive standard of physical 

perfection -- sometimes at the price of our own health. Full of wisdom, hope and humor." Lois Dino,Jacob Burns Film Center 

How do our families influence our relationship with our own bodies? How do pop culture's standards of beauty get inside our 

hearts and heads? In what ways can sport and the drive for fitness actually make us sick rather than healthy? In this 

courageous, deeply personal new film, Diane Israel examines our culture's unhealthy fixation on thinness, beauty, and 

physical perfection. Israel, a Boulder-based psychotherapist and former champion triathlete, talks candidly about her own 

struggle with eating disorders and obsessive exercising, fearlessly confronting her own painful past as she attempts to come 

to terms with American culture's unhealthy fixation on self-destructive ideals of beauty and competitiveness. The film lends 

context to Israel's personal odyssey with fascinating insights from athletes, body builders, fashion models, and inner-city 

teens, as well as prominent cultural critics and authors such as Eve Ensler, Paul Campos, and Naomi Wolf. In a special bonus 

feature, Israel talks in detail about her where she is in her recovery 2 years after the filming of Beauty Mark.

BEAUTY MYTH: The Culture of Beauty, Psychology, and the Self with 

Naomi Wolf 

On a sweeping historical canvas, from the Industrial Revolution to today’s multi-billiondollar 

diet and cosmetic industries, Naomi Wolf exposes the Beauty Myth as a distinct 

cultural narrative - a fiction that "beauty" exists objectively and universally. She next 

reveals why "beauty" must be understood within the power structures of political and 

economic systems - and how "beauty" is used as a kind of currency. She incisively 

illustrates how beauty is designed to sell products and support a hierarchical system of 

social relations - with devastating consequences for female well-being, and for our most 

intimate relationships. As women made powerful strides in economic and political 

spheres, the Beauty Myth took hold as a new set of fictions, and as a new sphere of 

control. She reveals how "beauty" came to replace domesticity as a core social virtue, 

with its own injunctions and prescriptions, not unlike religion itself. It really has little 

to do with appearances - but, instead, channels female identity into an ever-narrowing 

sphere of consumption, competition, and anxiety. From workplace equality and sexual 

harassment, to cosmetic surgery and eating disorders, to the very core of social and 

romantic relationships, Wolf powerfully illuminates the psychological and physiological 

ravages of the Beauty Myth.

GENERATION M: Misogyny in Media and Culture 

For all of the achievements of the women’s movement over the past four decades, misogyny remains a persistent force in 

American culture. In this important new documentary, Thomas Keith, Professor of Philosophy at California State University- 

Long Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism in mainstream American media, exploring how negative definitions of 

femininity and hateful attitudes toward women get constructed and perpetuated at the very heart of our popular culture. 

The film tracks the destructive dynamics of misogyny across a broad and disturbing range of media phenomena: from the 

hyper-sexualization of commercial products aimed at girls, to the explosion of gender violence in video games aimed at boys; 

from the near-hysterical sexist rants of hip-hop artists and talk radio shock jocks, to the continually harsh, patronizing 

caricature of feminism found in virtually every area of American pop culture. Along the way, Generation M forces us to 

confront the dangerous real-life consequences of misogyny in all of its forms, making a compelling case that when we 

devalue more than half the population based on gender, we harm boys and men as well as women and girls. Featuring 

interviews with gender violence prevention educators Byron Hurt, Jackson Katz, and Jean Kilbourne; Kimberly Salter 

(National Organization for Women); Nancy Gruver (Founder and CEO, New Moon Media); and others.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: Resistance and Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property 

narrated by Naomi Klein 

In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) 

trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts 

creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, 

classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod's award-winning 

book of the same title, Freedom of Expression® charts the many successful attempts to push back this assault by overzealous 

copyright holders. Freedom of Expression® is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, 

librarians, and more.

MILITAINMENT INC: Militarism and Pop Culture 

This program offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture, 

examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and "reality television" in its 

glamorization of war. Mobilizing an astonishing range of media examples - from news anchors' idolatry of military machinery 

to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting - the film asks: How has war taken its place in the culture as an 

entertainment spectacle? And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of citizens to evaluate the 

necessity and real human costs of military action? The film is broken down into nine sections, each between 10 and 20 

minutes in length, allowing for in-depth classroom analysis of individual elements of this wide-ranging phenomenon. 


WAR MADE EASY: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death 

Narrated by Sean Penn, this program brings to the screen Norman Solomon's insightful analysis of the strategies used by 

administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to promote their agendas for war from Vietnam to Iraq. By familiarizing 

viewers with the techniques of war propaganda, War Made Easy encourages us to think critically about the messages put out 

by today's spin doctors - messages which are designed to promote and prolong a policy of militarism under the guise of the 

"war on terror." Based on the book by the same title. #11183/0685 72 minutes 2007 $159.95 Colleges/Universities $249.95) 

THE MEDIA LITERACY SERIES 

The average person is exposed to more than 3,000 commercial messages each day - and probably will not recognize almost 80 

percent of them. Use this timely and informative two-part series to deepen your understanding of media's influence and to 

train students to critically analyze media messages before accepting them. 

TEACHING MEDIA LITERACY: Asking Questions - This program explains how to teach media literacy through the application 

of three basic facts and five key analytical questions that can be applied to any media message. This simple and highly 

effective approach is reinforced by insights and observations provided by important figures in the media literacy movement, 

including Elizabeth Thoman, Tessa Jolls, and Jeff Share, of the Center for Media Literacy. Fight passive consumerism and 

promote critical thinking with Teaching Media Literacy. Previously sold individually. 31 minutes 

UNDERSTANDING MEDIA LITERACY - TV and radio commercials, Web sites and banner ads, magazine ads, pop songs, photos, 

and even news articles and textbooks: all of them are sending messages to influence the reader/viewer/listener. How do 

they grab the attention? What are they selling - a product or service? a lifestyle? an ideology? - and why? Would a different 

media consumer interpret the message differently? This program raises more questions than it answers, which is the whole 

point: to prompt students to question, question, question the messages they are bombarded with daily. Savvy media 

consumers aren't born; they're made, and this program is an excellent tool for shaping the classroom dialogue. 35 minutes

SEXUAL AND RACIAL STEREOTYPES IN THE MEDIA 

Sexual and racial stereotypes are constantly being redefined and reinforced on TV and in movies, in magazines and on the 

Web, in video games - practically everywhere. They frame perceptions, reinforce prejudices, and promote a fear of the 

"other". This series scrutinizes the media in order to both expose and understand common sources of bias and the intentions 

behind them. Expert commentary is provided by Carolyn Kitch, director of the Mass Media and Communication program at 

Temple University; Oscar Gandy, professor emeritus at the Annenberg School for Communication; and NPR's Bob Garfield, 

cohost of On the Media. The series consists of two programs:

NO LOGO: Brands, Globalization and Resistance 

Naomi Klein, acclaimed journalist and author, examines the rise of 

international branding and the grassroots anti-corporate campaigns 

it has inspired. She asks viewers to consider the costs of 

globalization, including the disappearance of public space, consumer 

choice, and stable, meaningful work. Analyzing how brands like 

Nike, The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols 

worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby 

corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products 

(outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in 

creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.

THE BOY WHO PLAYS ON THE BUDDHAS OF BAMIYAN 

For over 25 years, Afghanistan has been at war. In March 2001, the ruling Taliban destroyed the tallest stone statues in the 

world, the 'Buddhas of Bamiyan'. One of the refugees who now live among the ruins is an eight-year-old boy called Mir. This 

astonishingly intimate film explores the lives of Mir and his family. Through summer, winter and spring, against the 

magnificent backdrop of Bamiyan and its ruined statues, we follow Mir's adventures as he gets into the kind of fun and 

mischief of any 8-year-old boy would. The adults who are part of Mir's young life reveal what it's been like here over the past 

two decades, a period in which hundreds of thousands of children like Mir have been killed. Phil Grabsky's film is a unique 

portrait of everyday life in modern Afghanistan.

BRAZIL: An Inconvenient History 

"An outstanding film, winner of the Houston Film Festival Gold Award, directed by Phil Grabsky." 

At first glance Brazil appears to be an alluring playground of exciting carnivals, sultry samba, divine football and a vibrantly 

diverse people. But behind this dazzling facade lies a disturbing story of history's largest-ever slave population. Astonishingly 

Brazil, a Portuguese colony, received ten times more African slaves than the numbers transported to North America. This 

program looks at those estimated 4 million people with whose blood, sweat and tears Brazil was built. Without them none of 

Brazil's present-day success and appeal would exist. Using contemporary testimonies, this film takes a hard look at Brazil's 

dark history through the eyes of those slaves. They lived in squalid conditions on remote plantations or in teeming cities 

harbouring fatal diseases. Most Africans survived only seven years in this 'New World'. Some, however, did survive to create a 

new culture - a fusion of African and European. This new ethnicity permeates and explains the modern Brazilian way of life.

BLOOD AND OIL: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependence on Foreign Petroleum 

Against the chaotic backdrop of the spiraling death toll in Iraq, mounting outrage over rising gasoline and oil prices, and new 

questions about the Bush administration's justifications for going to war, this program details how U.S. energy and national 

security policy have become virtually inseparable. Based on Michael T. Klare's critically-acclaimed book of the same title, this 

documentary untangles the dangerous relationship between unstable global oil supplies, skyrocketing rates of global 

consumption, and America's increasing reliance on military force as an instrument of energy policy. 


*** See also WALKING ON OIL: Alberta’s Oil Sands on Page 87 of this catalogue 

BLIND SPOT: Peak Oil and the Coming Global Crisis 

In this haunting portrait of America's oil-fueled excesses, director Adolfo Doring explores the inextricable link between the 

energy we use, the way we run our economy, and the multiplying threats that now confront the environmental health and 

stability of our planet. Taking as its starting point the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film 

surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political, and scientific thought to make the case that by whatever 

measure of greed, wishful thinking, neglect, or ignorance, we now find ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue 

to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and witness the collapse of our economy. 

Refusing to whitewash this reality, Blind Spot issues a call to action, urging us to face up to the perilous situation we now 

find ourselves in so that we might begin to envision a realistic, if inconvenient, way out. Certain to inspire debate in 

classrooms across a range of disciplines, especially in economics, environmental studies, the natural sciences, and political 

science. DVD #13016/0685 42 minutes 2009 $189.95 (College & University $319.95) 

REFUGE: A Film about Darfur 

In this alternately enraging and heartbreaking documentary, CANADIAN

Darfur to try to make sense of reports of genocide in the region. Making 

their way clandestinely with a group of rebels into the heart of the 

Sudanese war zone, they chronicle stories of unfathomable human despair 

and courage: NGOs struggling to get food to the starving, refugees fighting 

for water, waves of people battered by civil war and incomprehensible 

violence stumbling into camps on the edge of survival. Succeeds brilliantly 

in capturing the human face behind this geopolitical crisis.

LIVE FROM BETHLEHEM 

The Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency (MNA) emerged out of the ashes 

of the second Intifada to become the only independent news network in 

the Palestinian Territories and an increasingly prominent and influential 

journalistic force in the wider Middle East. Live from Bethlehem tells 

MNA's remarkable story. It chronicles the agency's struggles and successes 

through the eyes of the station's reporters, producers, and photographers, 

in the process quietly revealing the humanity of ordinary Palestinians as 

they go about their daily business. The documentary trains its focus on 

people more than on abstract issues, yet it never loses sight of the myriad 

social and political forces and pressures that Ma'an journalists are forced 

to negotiate as they try to gather and report balanced information. What 

results is an admirably nuanced portrait of how news gets produced, and 

how Palestinians live, in one of the world's most troubled regions.

PERSONALLY SPEAKING: A Long Conversation with Stuart Hall 

Stuart Hall is a foundational figure in the influential interdisciplinary field known as cultural studies. In this stimulating and 

eloquent four-hour interview, conducted by the literary journalist Maya Jaggi and directed by Mike Dibb, Hall reflects on his 

life and career, talking personally and in depth about the trajectory of his work and how it has intersected with broader 

political movements. In a conversation both intimate and sweeping in scope, Hall describes his migration from Jamaica to 

England, his immersion in left-wing politics in London, the influence of Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson on the 

evolution of his thought, and the context within which the early classic texts of cultural studies were written. Hall also shares 

his pessimism about the economic recession and his optimism about Barack Obama's victory. Future analysis of Hall's work, 

and of cultural studies in general, will need to take account of this fascinating and indispensable first-person account of his 

life and ideas. *Broken into short sections to facilitate use in the classroom.

"A smart, galvanizing documentary... the film argues persuasively, private interests repeatedly trump public interests." 

Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters.com 

One of America's proudest achievements, its national infrastructure, is now its most dangerous embarrassment. Bridges, 

dams, levees and highways are crumbling, toppling, being washed away, and putting American citizens and cities at risk. How 

could the most powerful nation on the planet let this happen? Narrated by Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss and 

directed by Emmy Award-winning investigative broadcast journalist Leslie Cardé, this timely and riveting story of waste, 

fraud, and abuse at the highest levels of our government exposes how much-needed funding is misappropriated for 

questionable uses, how the Army Corps of Engineers (charged with ensuring that the infrastructure stays intact) is more 

concerned with self-serving transitions into corporate America, and how taxpayer dollars have been wasted building other 

nation's infrastructures and not their own. It is the story of how lobbyists and greedy politicians funnel money to pet 

projects; how those sent to investigate and police abuses are often bribed into silence, and how shoddy planning and 

construction frequently contribute to the erosion and destruction of America's cities. 

Featuring interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times 

and TIME Magazine, noted scientists from Berkeley and Harvard, U.S. Senators and Congressmen, and the whistleblowers who 

risked their lives and careers to speak out, this searing documentary is both a cautionary tale for those who trust their 

government, and a wake-up call to Washington and Americans everywhere. #12726/0645 94 minutes 2008 $249.95 

ABE OSHEROFF: One Foot in the Grave, the Other Still Dancing 

Most people knew Abe Osheroff as an activist. For most of his 92 years - from the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War to the 

picket lines of the U.S. labor movement, from the struggles for civil rights in Mississippi to his work for human rights in 

Nicaragua - Osheroff threw himself into the fray with rare energy and enthusiasm. In this riveting and inspiring new film, 

Osheroff reflects on the meaning of his activism, exploring the ideas that animated his actions and sharing wisdom built up 

over a lifetime of commitment to the "radical humanism" that defined his politics and philosophy. DVD #13019 46 minutes

MADE IN CHICAGO: The Making of Barack Obama 

It was in Chicago, Barack Obama's adopted hometown, that the 24-year-old future President of the United States began a 

personal and political odyssey that would take him all the way to the White House. In this program, many of the people who 

have known Obama best since his arrival in Chicago offer their insights. Obama's work as a community organizer, his 

achievements at Harvard Law School, the writing of Dreams from My Father, his brief stints as a law professor at The 

University of Chicago and as a civil rights lawyer, and his meteoric political career are all discussed. The program ends with 

Obama's victory in the 2008 primaries and his speech on the issue of race in the wake of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's 

controversial "God Damn America" sermon. Additional portions of Obama oratory are included throughout.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE: A Story of Survival 

Spanning millennia, this history of the Jewish people explores how a small group who started as desert nomads overcame 

countless obstacles to survive to the present day. From slavery to the loss of their homeland; from exile to anti-Semitism; 

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

answers are surprising. #12889/1725 60 minutes 2009 $129.95 *CC

WORLD WAR II: The Epic Battles 

Witness some of the most critical battles of World War II. "...as great and as moving a documentary as TV had ever 

produced." The Chicago Tribune on Battle of the Bulge 

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

the juggernaut of Hitler's army. The Soviet Union was Germany's ally, and America stood on the sidelines. At this time of 

great peril it was Britain alone that faced the Nazi army, and a nation's darkest hour became its finest. 

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 

Allies had triumphantly regained Paris, as well as Casablanca and Tripoli, Naples, and Rome. However, Hitler had one final 

card to play, and in December he struck back with a brutal counterattack. The Battle of the Bulge was the single biggest and 

bloodiest battle U.S. soldiers have ever fought, and it ultimately ended with a hard-won victory for the Allies. 

IWO JIMA: Red Blood, Black Sand - The US campaign to take Iwo Jima -- a tiny island 

660 miles from Tokyo, defended by 21,000 Japanese soldiers -- began on February 19, 

1945. It was expected to last only a few days. Instead it raged for over a month and 

became the bloodiest battle in Marine Corps history.

1812 AND ALL THAT! A War That Decided the Future of Canada 

On the eve of the War of 1812, British and American commanders joined in a toast to the King and President. Then they went 

off to battle one another in a four-year bloodbath that decided the future of Canada. Two centuries of peace have dimmed 

memories of the 1812 War, now just a date in Canada's history. Through vivid dramatizations, this program underscores the 

significance of the War, while capturing its horrors, and the military tactics of both American and British commanders. Amid 

muskets and cannon, the wounded and the dying, the victories and the defeats, the human drama of the 1812 War emerges: 

soldiers' wives who must remarry immediately if their husbands were killed; surgeons and nurses desperately striving to save 

lives; regiments of black freed slaves and the 30 Aboriginal nations from across the continent who fought beside the British. 

For educators seeking dramatic history course content, including battle grounds, military trails, and strategically important 

buildings, 1812 AND ALL THAT provides glimpses into lives disrupted forever by the War of 1812 - a war that decided the 

future of Canada.

THE FALLEN FEATHER: Canada’s Indian Residential Schools 

"It is important for us to be reminded that the Residential Schools were all about the eradication of Indianess in the 

country. They were designed to do away with the Indian fact in the country. And to mould us into something that obviously 

we could never be." National Chief Phil Fontaine 

The FALLEN FEATHER provides an in-depth critical analysis of the driving forces behind the creation of Canadian Indian 

Residential Schools. Using historical source documents, survivors personal testimonies and detailed analysis from community 

leaders, the film explores in detail, the Federal Governments primary motivation in the creation of these Schools. While 

examining the influences of Indian wars, Sir John A MacDonald’s National Policy, Land Claims issues, the film details how all 

of these events and visions contributed to the development of these Schools. The film argues that the lasting effects that 

First Nations in Canada suffer today, can be traced back directly to their experiences within these schools. Finally, we as 

Canadians are all challenge to re-examine our shared history. *Includes 35-page comprehensive Guide

RETURN OF THE RIVER 

This incredible production is a sequel to "Heart of the People" (1997 Gemini Nomination). "Return of the River" is a story of 

struggle and survival: the Huu-ay-aht First Nations on the west coast of Vancouver Island and their ongoing efforts to bring 

back their river, destroyed decades ago by clear-cut logging and commercial fishing. This documentary traces the amazing 

progress the Huu-ay-aht have made in their attempts to restore their river, culture and language - since embarking on this 

project in the early 1900's. A powerful, emotional film which shows how strong leadership and the will of the people, can 

move mountains... and rivers. The film brilliantly presents a unique model for other aboriginal peoples facing similar 

dilemmas around the world: partnering with industry to undo the damage done; first steps in a brave new world facing the 

daily destruction of forests and resources. "Return of the River" is required viewing for all ages, but especially anyone who 

believes we're too late to start making a difference. #12448/0735 50 minutes 2008 $159.95 *Canadian Production

THE IROQUOIS SPEAK OUT FOR MOTHER EARTH 

In this quietly powerful film four Elders of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Six Nations Confederacy) speak in a clear, frank and 

rational language of the environmental crisis and what is needed to seriously begin to deal with it by reminding us to see our 

planet as our relative, as our Mother, as many earth-based cultures do. The first speaker, CLAYTON LOGAN from the Wolf 

Clan of the Seneca Nation, is a Ceremonial Leader of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The next speaker, AUDREY 

SHENANDOAH, is a Clan Mother of the Eel Clan, Onondaga Nation. CHIEF OREN LYONS is Faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation 

Wolf Clan. JOHN MOHAWK is an Elder of the Turtle Clan, from the Pinewood Community in Cattaraugus Territory. Long ago, 

the constitution of the United States of America was inspired and influenced by the wisdom of the Iroquois Great Law of 

Peace, with its system of checks and balances. Now it is time once again to listen to the wisdom of these contemporary 

elders of the Iroquois Confederacy. *Review by Dr. Mike Carr - a Sessional Instructor of Sociology and Anthropology, Simon

SPIRITS FOR SALE 

When Annika is given an eagle feather by a Native American visiting Sweden, she 

realizes it is a sacred object which should probably not be in her hands. These days 

Native American ceremonies are being commercialized for "outsiders," arousing 

resentment in the Native community. Annika sets out to find the feather's rightful 

owner, a quest which takes her to American Indian communities in Albuquerque, San 

Antonio and to Bear Butte in South Dakota. She meets many Native Americans who are 

bitter, believing they are "the forgotten people." But others are fighting to preserve 

their culture and their faith as well as to protect their land. Navajo Andrew Thomas, 

who manages the Albuquerque Pueblo Center, explains that certain tribes use feathers 

in special ways to c ommunicate with "the Upper God." He fears modern Native 

Americans have lost touch with the ancient beliefs. In this film we hear from a professor 

of Native American history in San Antonio who discusses the five hundred tribes who 

lived in the US centuries ago and recalls the massacres they suffered. Gayle Ross, a 

respected Cherokeeteacher, feels Americans do not understand native people. Arvol 

Looking Horse of the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota nation is deeply disturbed by the entire

WE SHALL REMAIN 

A provocative series that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five heartbreaking, yet inspiring 

stories highlight Native ingenuity and resilience over the course of 300 years. Upends two-dimensional stereotypes of 

American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land. Programs include: 

1. AFTER THE MAYFLOWER - In 1621, Massasoit, sachem of 

the Wampanoags of New England negotiated a treaty with 

Pilgrim settlers. A half-century later, as a brutal war flared 

between the English and a confederation of Indians, this 

diplomatic gamble seemed to have been a grave 

miscalculation. 

2. TECUMSEH'S VISION - In the course of his brief and 

meteoric career, Tecumseh would become one of the 

greatest Native American leaders of all time, orchestrating 

the most ambitious pan-Indian resistance movement ever 

mounted on the North American continent. After his death 

he would live on as a potent symbol of Native pride and pan 

Indian identity. 

3. TRAIL OF TEARS - Though the Cherokee embraced 

#12815/1725 Three DVDs total 450 minutes 2009 $179.95 *CC 

"civilization" and won recognition of tribal sovereignty in 

the U.S. Supreme Court, their resistance to removal from 

their homeland failed. Thousands were forced on a perilous 

march to Oklahoma. 

4. GERONIMO - As the leader of the last Native American 

fighting force to capitulate to the U.S. government, 

Geronimo was seen by some as the perpetrator of 

unspeakable savage cruelties, while to others he was the 

embodiment of proud resistance. 

5. WOUNDED KNEE - In 1973, American Indian Movement 

activists and residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation 

occupied the town of Wounded Knee, demanding redress for 

grievances. As a result of the siege, Indians across the 

country forged a new path into the future.

CREATIVE VIOLATION: The Rebel Art of the Street Stencil 

Called art by some and vandalism by others, street art transforms the depersonalized, over-commercialized urban landscape 

into a forum for self-expression. Filmed in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, this edgy program documents the 

exploding underground art form of street stenciling and explores its roots in political street art, industrial signage, and 

freehand graffiti. John MacPhee, author of Stencil Pirates, and other stencil artists pose critical questions about the role of 

free speech in public spaces as they describe their motives and demonstrate their methods. Transgressive, subversive, 

creative: that's the rebel art of the street stencil. #12737/0635 24 minutes 2007 $129.95

REALISM: The Artistic Form of the Truth 

It is a creative impulse as old as humanity itself: to depict life faithfully, accurately, in words or images. This program shows 

how that impulse led to Realism - a widespread artistic movement, born in the latter half of the 19th century, which 

rejected pretense, distortion, and sentimentality. Incorporating interviews with art historians and literary scholars, the 

program explores the sociopolitical origins of the phenomenon in the 1848 Revolution in France and the concurrent wave of 

industrialization that swept Europe and America. Luminous images by Édouard Manet, Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet, 

and Honoré Daumier - along with the unflinching writings of Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Émile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, 

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, August Strindberg, and Heinrik Ibsen - are analyzed and compared with the work of 

Thomas Eakins, George Bellows, Mark Twain, Jack London, Stephen Crane, and others. The contributions of early 

photographers and filmmakers, as well as the first stirrings of feminism, are also examined.

THE LOST TEMPLE OF JAVA 

Borobudur in Central Java is unique. In the shape of a pyramid, with four square terraces leading to three circular ones, this 

extraordinary building is covered with three miles of stone carvings. Situated on a lush palm-covered volcanic plain, this is a

Stamford Raffles. Following the complete renovation of its 1.6 million blocks of volcanic stone, this program answers the

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.

TAKING CREDIT: Understanding Loans, Credit Cards, and Other Debts

thousands of dollars in credit. The same goes for credit cards - although most consumers carry several, for an unfortunate

THE HEALTHY TEACHER 

Being a teacher today is an incredibly rewarding experience - but it can also be

school environment, perhaps it's even parental pressure creating the stress. 

Whatever the cause, it's vital that you approach your teaching career with an 

awareness of the aspects of the job that can cause stress and be informed about 

finding a healthy balance between work and life. In this program we follow a 

typical day in the lives of two teachers - experienced professionals who have got 

the balance right. Through them, this professional development program explores 

the areas that affect teacher's physical, emotional and social wellbeing in 

reducing stresses and anxiety. It will examine the importance of healthy eating, physical activity, wellness and mind matters 

and their essential role in achieving optimal health within the teaching profession. An informative, practical and motivational

those instructional practices that best align with the findings of those studies. Too often it is fashionable for instructional 

programs to claim that they are based on brain research, when they truly are not. To help ensure that the role of braincompatible 

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

world renowned expert on brain-compatible learning, presents a compelling and practical approach to help educators grapple 

with the high volume of brain research inundating the field of education today. Visit classrooms where students with 

disabilities are benefiting from brain-compatible instructional strategies as an integral part of their day; hear from staff who 

are effectively using brain compatible strategies such as Response to Intervention, and learn how to become educated 

consumers by differentiating the realities of brain research from its many myths. #11702/1435 56 minutes 2008 $129.95 *CC

THE MONTESSORI METHOD 

Italian physician Maria Montessori developed the Montessori method in the early 1900s while observing that children learn 

best when engaged in purposeful activity. Dr. Montessori inspired a movement that enabled children to teach themselves 

through sensory-rich, hands-on materials, nurture and love. Montessori's philosophy and practices have since spread and 

widely influenced the educational landscape. Discover the ways in which Montessori classrooms differ from the traditional 

school setting in this enlightening documentary. Observe different levels of Montessori, including infants, toddlers, early 

childhood, and elementary, and how each utilizes the Montessori method. 


THE PEACEFUL SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM 

This is a whole-school program that's designed to decrease inappropriate behavior 

on buses while creating a climate of respect and cooperation. Teachers, 

administrators, parents, and students take part in school bus route meetings. At 

these meetings the students: take part in team-building exercises; develop 

mentoring relationships by pairing older students with younger students on the 

bus; talk about bullying - and what behavior is and is not acceptable; get to 

personally know their driver, who is present at the meetings. Although first 

developed and implemented in an elementary school setting, the program is 

easily adapted for use with middle school and even high-school students, who can 

serve as mentors, role models, and teachers of younger students. There is very 

little financial cost to implementing this program. All materials are included in 

the 128-page Softcover guide. The DVD gives a program overview. And the CD- 

ROM provides numerous resources including: program posters; bus decals; activity 

handouts; a parent letter (in English and Spanish); a bus route leader-training 

outline; an implementation checklist. It is recommended that each committee 

member and bus route group leader have one copy of the guide. #12443/0795 15

WALKING ON OIL: Alberta's Oil Sands 

This program focuses on this huge fuel resource and the hazards and threats it poses to the environment. The fuel from the 

tar sands is thick and heavy, bound to water and sand. Extraction and refinement of the oil requires an enormous amount of 

energy and water, and destroys countless miles of irreplaceable forest land. Tar sands oil production creates 2 to 3 times as 

much greenhouse gas as production of conventional oil, thus contributing greatly to global warming. Enormous machinery is 

used to remove trees, rocks, soil and sand from the earth. Once the tar sands are removed, the resulting huge holes in the 

ground remain along with toxic, water-borne tailings. As the Greenland ice cap melts, it may raise ocean levels by 20 feet, 

flooding major cities and coastlines worldwide. As a world together, we have to make the right decisions about the 

extraction and use of Alberta's immense oil resource. #12164/2003 60 minutes 2008 $149.95 

CATCHING THE SUN: The Physics of Solar Energy 

Two forms of energy that we use every day are electrical energy and heat. During the 20th century we came to rely on fossil 

fuels as the ultimate source of these energy forms but now, energy from renewable sources is becoming more commonly 

used. This program investigates the three main ways in which we currently use solar energy to power our homes: solar hot 

water, solar photovoltaic - solar panels to generate electricity directly, and solar thermal arrays that use heat from sunlight 

to generate electricity in large commercial plants. We explain the science involved in each type in straightforward terms, 

look at practical considerations and take a look at new developments in this exciting area of renewable energy generation.

TERRA REPORT: A World of Trouble 

The health of our planet is not so different from the health of the human body - it greatly depends on our personal habits and 

our willingness to confront problems. Akin to a doctor's cautionary findings, this five-part series reveals many of the dangers 

threatening the natural world as well as specific socioeconomic factors entwined with them. Footage that is both luminous 

and unflinching shows the human realities of environmental devastation, species extinction, famine, starvation, and political 

instability in Africa, Asia, and South America. 

GLOBAL DUMP: Toxic Waste and the Planetary Ecosystem - While international corporations boast of newfound 

environmental stewardship, toxic materials are still produced on a worldwide scale - with underdeveloped nations serving as 

the planet’s dump site. This program explores the issue, traveling to Asia, Africa, and Latin America to illustrate the effects 

of industrial waste on the environment, social systems, and human life. Viewers will gain an understanding of several topics: 

the impact of pesticides and other chemical products, the role of large-scale food waste, the dangers low-wage workers face 

as they pick through urban trash heaps, and more. Images of discarded ships rusting in shallow harbors epitomize Western 

wastefulness and compose one of many powerful sequences in the film. 

A WORLD APART: Global Inequality and its Consequences - A growing number of environmentalists, ethicists, and 

economists believe that the needs of the "have-nots" will one day become too powerful to ignore. This program highlights 

that viewpoint, illustrating vast disparities between the living standards of developed and underdeveloped nations and 

questioning the wisdom of looking the other way. Deconstructing conventional economic notions of production and 

consumption, the film examines the role of Western corporations in environmental problems - such as deforestation, 

destructive mining, and land mine infestation in Africa, Asia, and South America. These problems are linked to global 

economic issues, such as lack of access to capital markets and dependence on foreign aid. 

FOOD FOR ALL: Global Agriculture and the Developing World - Satisfying one’s hunger is a primal act which most 

Westerners never connect to global issues. But the diets and farming systems of wealthy countries can be directly linked to 

starvation in the underdeveloped world. This program sheds light on the international tragedy of hunger and malnutrition, 

emphasizing that the problem is one of distribution, not production. Filmed in Asia, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa, 

the film shows how geopolitics, economic isolation, regional conflicts, and lack of infrastructure render poor countries unable 

to feed their own people. Biotechnology, land use priorities, government corruption, the fast food industry, and the vicious 

cycle of child hunger are all featured topics. Contains scenes of breastfeeding. 

WHO'S DESTROYING THE FOREST? A Global Analysis - Forests protect and nurture humanity in a variety of ways. Why, then, 

does deforestation continue? Who is responsible for it? This program analyzes the problem through a socioeconomic lens, 

drawing connections between corporate interests, food security concerns, and annihilation of the planet’s woodlands. 

Outlining the history of deforestation from Roman times to WWII, the film focuses on the rise of clear-cut and slash-and-burn 

practices associated with colonialism, 20th-century capitalism, and the Green Revolution. Viewers will gain insight into 

political and economic systems that favor lumber, mining, and large agricultural companies - while ignoring the needs of 

forest ecosystems and forest-dwelling peoples in Asia, Africa, and South America. 

OVER-EXPLOITING THE OCEANS: The Dangers of Over-Fishing - How long will the biosphere tolerate exploitation of the 

oceans? Are local fishermen a doomed species? What can be done to reverse the decline of fish stocks around the planet? This 

program documents the environmental and socioeconomic costs of excessive fishing. The film contrasts ancient maritime 

practices - like those of Mauritania’s Imragen fishermen and Djibouti’s pearl divers and lobster hunters - with large-scale 

fishing off Africa’s coasts. It also raises awareness of financial and political factors, such as the granting of monopolies to 

corporations and consortiums and the failure of international regulations to prevent illegal fishing. The harm caused by trawl 

and gill nets, as well as the risks and benefits of aquaculture, are crucial topics.

HEAVY WATER: A Film for Chernobyl 

This film by David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky uses Mario Petrucci's award-winning poem "Heavy Water", to tell the story of 

the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and its catastrophic aftermath. On April 26th, 1986, reactor four at Chernobyl Nuclear Power 

Plant explodes, sending an enormous radioactive cloud over northern Ukraine and neighboring Belarus. The danger is not 

immediately communicated and the local population goes about its business as usual. May Day celebrations begin, children 

play, and the residents of Pripyat, the town built to house the workers at Chernobyl, marvel at the spectacular fire raging at 

the reactor. After three days, an area the size of England becomes contaminated with radioactive dust, creating a 'zone' of 

contaminated land. This is the story of the people who dealt with the world's worst nuclear disaster at ground level: the firefighters, 

the soldiers, the 'liquidators' and their families. #12129/1893 52 minutes 2006 $279.95 

LIVING WITH CHERNOBYL: The Future of Nuclear Power 

The world's worst nuclear accident occurred in the former Soviet Union on April 26, 1986. Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear power 

plant exploded, sending radioactive debris over a large area of Northern Europe. Dire predictions were made at the time 

about the consequences of the radioactive fallout. What really happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant following the 

accident? What is fact and what myth and misconception? The scare of Chernobyl solidified America's rejection of the nuclear 

power industry and has been a major force driving nuclear energy policy in the United States ever since. That may change 

now. Fear of global warming has fractured the environmental movement on nuclear energy. Nuclear is one of the few largescale 

carbon-free energy sources, yet the very real dangers caused by our nuclear waste storage policy are still unresolved. 

This documentary explores these issues, and the dilemmas created, in large part, by our emotional response to nuclear.

BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE 21ST CENTURY - Biotechnology is revolutionizing life in the 21st century, but with every 

breakthrough comes controversy. Do the benefits of stem cell technology, gene-splicing, and other advances outweigh the 

risks? Using interviews with experts, footage of scientists at work, 3-D animations, and on-screen text, this balanced series 

introduces viewers to a field of science - and the pressing issues associated with it - that is rapidly changing the world. 

BIOINFORMATICS, GENOMICS, AND PROTEOMICS: Getting the Big Picture - If the 20th century was the era of physics and 

nuclear fission, the 21st belongs to the life sciences. Moving from gene, to genome, to genetically based diseases, this 

program provides an overview of the interrelated fields of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on 

practical applications of biotechnology to the field of medicine. Are genetically personalized drugs around the next corner? 

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND YOUR HEALTH: Pharmaceutical Applications - Scientists have come a long, long way since Alexander 

Fleming’s discovery of penicillin, the wonder drug of the 20th century. This program explains the function of infectionfighting 

antibiotics; vaccinations and insulin, crucial to the prevention of diseases such as smallpox and the management of 

diabetes; recombinant drugs, treatments involving genetically engineered DNA; and stem cells, those chameleon-like building 

blocks of the body. 24 minutes 

BIOTECHNOLOGY ON THE FARM AND IN THE FACTORY: Agricultural and Industrial Applications - As the world’s population 

and overall standard of living continue to increase, the growing demand for food, fuel, and consumer products has reached 

unprecedented levels. This program examines how biotechnology is helping to meet those needs through genetic engineering 

to increase crop yields and improve the nutritional value of key staple foods; animal agriculture, founded on selective 

breeding and edging toward lab-based genetic engineering; and industrial applications 

of biotech in the manufacturing of chemicals, textiles, beverages, and fuel. 

THE ETHICS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY - The Nuclear Age - sprung upon the world with the 

atomic bomb - remains a bitter memory. How biotechnology, with its power to change 

life on Earth at the most fundamental level, will be viewed in the decades to come 

depends on decisions being made right now. This program confronts viewers with 

some of the ethical and moral implications of cloning, stem cell research, and animal 

testing. 24 minutes 


ESSENTIAL CHEMISTRY SERIES 

Filmed at Widener University and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, this fiveprogram 

series spotlights foundational aspects of chemistry that every science student needs to know. Footage of laboratory 

experiments reinforcing important concepts, sophisticated animations illustrating technical points of discussion, and 

commentary by experts passionate about science. 

ATOMS, MOLECULES, AND COMPOUNDS - All matter in the observable universe - from a single blade of grass to a planet in a 

faraway galaxy - is made up of atoms, molecules, and compounds. This program introduces these minuscule building blocks in 

five sections: The Nucleus (protons and neutrons, energy shells, binding energy, fission and fusion); The Electrons (quantum 

numbers, spdf orbitals); The Elements (periodic table, valence electrons, ions and ionization energy, electronegativity, 

covalent and ionic bonds); The Energy of Atoms (exothermic and endothermic reactions, spontaneous reactions, Gibbs free 

energy, activation energy, catalysts); and Common Compounds (properties of sodium chloride and water, polarity). 

CHEMICAL REACTIONS - What do fireworks, a fried egg, and a rusting truck have in common? They all involve chemical 

reactions. This program illustrates the mechanics of chemical reactions in five sections: Chemical Reactions (reactants and 

products, state changes, diatomic elements and molecules, Law of Conservation of Mass); Chemical Bonding (Octet Rule, 

ionic and covalent bonds); Types of Chemical Reactions (synthesis and decomposition reactions, single and double 

displacement reactions, acid/base reactions, exothermic and endothermic reactions); Reaction Rates (moles, kinetic energy, 

solutes and solvents, catalysts, activators and inhibitors, enzymes); and Reactions All Around Us (photosynthesis and 

chemosynthesis, autotrophs and photoautotrophs, bioluminescence). 28 minutes 

METALS - On the periodic table, three-quarters of all the elements are classified as one sort of metal or another. Divided 

into five sections, this program provides a thorough overview of metals: Metals in Our World (includes iron, lithium, 

magnesium, mercury, potassium, silver, sodium, uranium, zinc); Alkali Metals (history and properties of lithium, sodium, 

potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium); Alkaline Earth Metals (history and properties of beryllium, magnesium, calcium, 

strontium, barium, radium); Transition Metals (properties of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, gold, zinc, cadmium, 

mercury); and Metals and Chemical Reactions (exothermic and endothermic reactions, oxidation and combustion reactions, 

acid/base reactions). 26 minutes 

THE PERIODIC TABLE - Much more than a list of elements, the periodic table is a snapshot of how matter is organized on 

Earth and throughout the universe. In five sections, this program looks at the history and components of the periodic table: 

The History of the Periodic Table (from the atomos of Democritus to the atoms of Mendeleev); Metals (how to read the 

periodic table, transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals); Lanthanides, Actinides, and Transuranium Elements 

(properties of lanthanides and actinides, transuranium and transfermium elements); The BCNOs (properties of metalloids, 

other metals, and nonmetals); and Halogens and Noble Gases (properties and applications of halogens and noble gases). 

STATES OF MATTER - This program scrutinizes the concept of phase transitions - from naturally occurring changes in state to 

those created in laboratories - in five sections: Solids, Liquids, and Gases (properties of molecules in different states; 

hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole forces, dispersion forces; effects of temperature, pressure, and volume on atomic and 

molecular movement; Ideal Gas Law); Evaporation and Condensation (intermolecular forces, boiling/condensing point, 

endothermic reactions); Melting and Freezing (melting/freezing point, ionic and covalent bonds, cations and anions); 

Sublimation and Deposition (triple points and phase diagrams); and Other States of Matter (plasma, liquid crystals, Bose- 

Einstein condensates, superfluids and supersolids).

PHYSICS IN ACTION SERIES 

Can the study of physics be fun? This clever five-part series answers "Yes!" by presenting essential facts, formulas, and laws 

of physics through real-world examples, illustrative animations, and a likeable field guide named Mr. Physics who makes 

complicated concepts easier to understand. End-of-section reviews are included throughout each program, and equations are 

worked out, step by step, on-screen. 

ENERGY - Talking about energy is tricky because everyday words can also have specialized scientific meanings. Through the 

process of defining key terms like "power", "work", and even "energy" itself, this program uses a roller coaster, a harmless 

train wreck, ice-skaters, a boulder, a human cannonball, night-vision goggles, and a supernova to introduce students to 

kinetic and potential energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, and conduction, convection, and radiation 

of heat. 

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 

Big Apple as a living laboratory, this program addresses speed and distance using a pigeon, a taxi, and a tour boat. Additional 

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 

a cruising aircraft carrier, and juggling on the Earth and around the Solar System provide opportunities to study the 

mechanics of velocity and acceleration as well as contact forces and forces that act at a distance. Vector algebra is 

demonstrated throughout. 

PLANETS, STARS AND GALAXIES - Beginning with the history of astronomy (Ptolemy, Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Galileo), 

this program considers the mathematics of motion (velocity, acceleration); gravity (Kepler's discoveries, Newton's laws, 

center of gravity, astronomical units); the properties of stars (parallax, flux, luminosity, color, Hertzsprung-Russell diagram); 

relativity (Einstein's theories, speed of light, space-time); and the large-scale structure of the universe (Big Bang, 

Cosmological Principle, Hubble's law). Humankind has come a long way in our understanding of the cosmos - but we're still 

only scratching the surface of astrophysics, with discoveries of incalculable value still waiting to be made. 

PROCESSES THAT SHAPED THE EARTH - The Earth is like a living, breathing organism. From its molten core to the upper 

reaches of the atmosphere, nothing is still. How was the planet formed, and what are the forces that continue to sculpt it? 

This program uses animated topographical maps, a broken pane of glass, a fortune in diamonds, a floor-sanding machine, 

stalactites, flowing glaciers, a merry-go-round, a greenhouse, and more to help students visualize the structure and 

composition of the Earth and the processes that shape our world. Dangerous impacts of humankind - most notably pollution 

and deforestation - are also considered. 

THE NATURE OF MATTER - An elephant and a racing car don't have much in common - except for the remarkable fact that 

they're made of similar fundamental building blocks. This program takes a simulated subatomic look at a glass of water to 

better understand the nature of matter, a minuscule world of molecules, atoms, and elementary 

particles. The behavior of matter under the effects of gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong 

and weak nuclear forces; the process of scientific experimentation; specifics of atomic structure; 

the organization of matter via the periodic table; ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonding; the 

process of radioactive decay; and the death of fusion-fueled stars are scrutinized as well.

CAPITALISM HITS THE FAN: Richard Wolff on the Economic Meltdown 

With breathtaking clarity, renowned University of Massachusetts Economics Professor Richard Wolff breaks down the root 

causes of today's economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the 

structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the source of the economic crisis to the 1970s, when wages began 

to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in 

the mortgage meltdown. By placing the crisis within this larger historical and systemic frame, Wolff argues convincingly that 

the proposed government "bailouts," stimulus packages, and calls for increased market regulation will not be enough to 

address the real causes of the crisis, in the end suggesting that far more fundamental change will be necessary to avoid 

future catastrophes. Richly illustrated with motion graphics, this is a superb introduction designed to help ordinary citizens 

understand, and react to, the unraveling economic crisis.

MANAGING ME! "It's not what happens to you, but how you react that matters." Epictetus 

As the leader of any group, problems are inevitable. So - how do you react? Do you lead with 

your gut - or your head? This is the dilemma that the host of "Managing Me" grapples with. 

When problems arise at work, he can choose to react with either impulse or reason. As each 

situation plays out, the better reaction is clear. Viewers recognize that how you react often has a far greater impact - on 

morale, on retention, on productivity - than any specific problem ever could. The key to managing other people is learning 

how to manage you. Includes: 28 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF 

version of leader's guide and supporting PowerPoint graphics. (Guide and PowerPoint files also available as a download.)

ONE ON ONE - INFORMAL EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE REVIEW 

This program is simply the best coaching in existence. Adopt this method and watch employee performance and morale soar. 

Employees desire performance feedback from their supervisor; not just a "good job" or "you can do better" every now and 

then; informal or formal, we all want meaningful and cyclical appraisal. How many things can you do as a manager that will 

produce measurable improvement in employee performance and employee morale? A periodic one on one, informal 

employee performance review with each of your direct reports is one of those things. The DVD includes three videos: A short 

(27-minute) and a long (40-minute) version "1 on 1 - Informal Employee Performance Review," and "Building Employee Morale: 

Missed Opportunities," an 18-minute motivational video based on the * "The Meets Problem." Also includes Facilitator

DON'T PANIC! A Recipe for Success in Times of Stress 

Panics come in many shapes and sizes. Their common denominator is that they are never helpful. To panic is to lose 

perspective and succumb to fear. This often leads to poor decisions, lost focus, paralysis and a bad outcome. DON'T PANIC!

five key elements of a constructive response to circumstances that might intimidate or frighten us. Designed to be used in a 

work or academic environment, the principles of this program can also be applied in our personal lives. In this entertaining 

and thoughtful video cooking serves as a metaphor for working through a challenge together, as nine fascinating people who 

have successfully navigated stressful situations at work come together to cook a meal. After the flames die down, the 

participants enjoy the meal they’ve created and share what they’ve learned from their dialogue. *Includes comprehensive

STRATEGY AND CHANGE Bundle 

In today's competitive business environments, we must be ready to change, and change frequently. Change is not a variation, 

it's the norm, and one of the most critical challenges for modern managers. Our organization must be nimble and alert; if we 

miss a trend, there may be no catching up. We must continuously and effectively innovate in the face of demanding 

customers who insist: "better, faster, cheaper". In this ten part series you will learn techniques that you can put straight to 

work. Learn how to keep your organization aligned with your strategy while harnessing the power of change. These are but a 

few of the compelling questions this series will answer: 

*How do you successfully implement change initiatives and keep your organization flexible and adaptive? 

*What can be done to manage your project portfolio to keep your change initiatives aligned with your business strategy? 

*Why are employees and other stakeholders skeptical of change, and what can be done to gain their commitment? 

*How do some companies defeat more powerful rivals while others fail? 

*What cultural components will lead to an environment in which innovation will flourish? 

*Why should innovation become deeply embedded into your organization, and how can you make that happen?

BIG MAC: Inside the McDonald's Empire

manages budgets and income in the millions of dollars. This 

NBC News program looks at the history and working 

philosophy behind the world's largest food-service 

corporation, featuring a number of interviews and concise 

case studies. Operations manager Tyrone Davis runs six

FINDING UNTAPPED GROWTH IN EXISTING MARKETS 

In order to win in the marketplace, it is essential to understand which customer behaviors make money (and lose money) for 

your organization. Next, it is important to segment customer groups in a way that allows you to explain those behaviors and 

find the actual customers in the real world. Then you can identify the drivers and barriers to influencing the particular 

behavior you want to motivate. By doing so, your marketing efforts can be focused on the critical specifics, early in the 

process. Dr. Jim Hollingshead provides insights on these principles, and offers specific tools for seeing existing markets 

differently and uncovering hidden opportunities for growth. #12614/1005 53 minutes 2007 $119.95 

WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything 

Interactive web technologies, in the form of self-organizing Internet communities, are driving a social revolution. This Age of 

Collaboration is also creating an economic revolution that is changing the architecture of the corporation in how we create 

goods and services. Using the findings of a $9-million research project, Don Tapscott describes how companies innovate using 

the knowledge, resources, and computing power of millions of people organizing into a massive collective force. These 

innovative companies are challenging our assumptions about business and competitiveness. They are doing this by leveraging 

networks of peers, using operational transparency to their advantage, sharing intellectual property, and thinking and acting 

globally. #12616/1005 49 minutes 2008 $119.95 

READY FOR ANYTHING: Business Continuity, Disaster 

Recovery, Preparedness 

This program shows that business continuity involves all levels of an 

organization, and illustrates numerous examples of good preparation and 

execution of disaster recovery/BCP plans. Realistic cases dramatize two 

levels of business disaster. In the first, a company-wide computer problem 

brings operations to a standstill for 39 hours. In the second, a regional 

catastrophe forces evacuation of an organization's headquarters and closes 

the facility for months. The reenactments contrast the disaster responses of 

a prepared and an unprepared organization - and illustrates the steps and 

criteria for developing a practical business continuity plan.

DEALING WITH THE IRATE CUSTOMER II

you calm angry customers. Your employees will learn to stay professional and not take it personally when they have to deal 

with difficult customers, whether in retail, health care, government, or wherever. They'll learn that their basic customer

learn three powerful "breakthrough techniques" that can be used if the situation escalates and threatens to get out of hand.
