Buy Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided (DVD)

While speaking to Congress, President Abraham Lincoln once declared, A house divided against itself cannot stand. PBS' fascinating documentary series ABRAHAM AND MARY LINCOLN: A HOUSE DIVIDED puts this theory into perspective by examining the home life of the 16th president and his first lady. While much is known about the Great Emancipator, little is understood about his marriage to Mary Todd, a woman of great mental frailty and first lady during one of the most tumultuous times in American history. This series traces the couple's enigmatic relationship, from the marriage of the backwoods Lincoln (voiced by David Morse) to the wealthy Todd (voiced by Holly Hunter); through his election to the presidency and the Civil War (when the nation's troubles were only part of the strain on their marriage--the Lincolns' son Willie died while they were in the White House); and finally to the assassination that left the widow an emotionally unstable recluse. Directed by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, this superb series provides an intimate portrait of two of the most storied figures in American history.DVD Features:Region 1Full Frame - 1.33Web linksChapter StopsAdditional Release Material: Production Interview - 1.

The Search for Kennedy's PT 109 (DVD) The Search for Kennedy's PT 109 (DVD) » The Search for Kennedy's PT 109 (DVD)

The Presidential work of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is still regarded as being among the finest the Oval Office has ever born witness to. But prior to his tenure at the White House, Kennedy was an acclaimed Naval Lieutenant who served to distinction in the Second World War. However, as the battle raged, the boat
on which Kennedy served sailed into some rocky waters near the Solomon Islands, leading to a catastrophic sinking. This film draws on a number of eyewitness accounts to tell the tale of that fateful night, including surviving crew members, local islanders, and officers from nearby boats. Kennedy is portrayed as a heroic leader throughout, with many of the accounts praising him for his fearlessness in the face of extreme adversity. Ocean explorer Dr. Robert Ballard neatly rounds off the package by taking a trip to the wreckage of the ship, making this a comprehensive overview of a little-known incident from JFK's past.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

A haunting documentary that tells the true life story of Teena Brandon, a Nebraska female who moved to Falls City, Nebraska, in 1993 and passed herself off as a male.

Interviews with actual players, including Brandon's girlfriend Lana Tisdel, as well as the murderers Tom and John, combined with audio tapes from Brandon's police interrogations, make this a poignant, unforgettable expose of homophobia and prejudice in small town America.
