This documentary offers some vital clues as to why there is such a huge economic and cultural divide in the population of the world--and the results are startling. Writer Jared Diamond set off on a globe-straddling tour to figure out this conundrum, with the answers gleaned over a 30 year period. A Pulitzer-Prize winning book followed, and now, so does this fascinating visualization of his findings. Diamond posits the theory that guns, germs, and steel are at the root of all the world's inequalities, and he presents a convincing case for his findings. Drawing on a variety of social,
economic, and scientific factors to back up his claims, Diamond takes viewers on a thought-provoking ride, resulting in a refreshing perspective that provides an entirely new angle for viewers to ruminate on.

THE WAR ROOM takes us inside Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and the exciting, topsy-turvy race that proved to be one of the most memorable in U.S. history and came to define American political discourse for the 1990s. Director D.A. Pennebaker provides a personal, up-close view of the two principals: campaign managers James Carville and George Stephanopoulos as they try to stay on top of the exploding maelstrom of events--from scandalous, personal smear tactics (Gennifer Flowers) to the rise of quixotic spoiler Ross Perot. With remarkable confidence and media-saavy, they maintain order and forward momentum by steering public discourse away from negative issues of character and draft-dodging and back to the focus of their candidate's policies. They also create convincing catchphrases (It's the Economy, Stupid!) and keep the perspective on domestic issues tailormade to benefit Clinton. THE WAR ROOM is a harrowing emotional roller coaster of unfolding drama and suspense, loaded with historic significance and personal intimacy.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CasePan& Scan 1.33Single Side - Single LayerAdditional Release Material: Copy ProtectionInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access
