One of the key issues in the build up to the 2004 Presidential election was the Vietnam service of Democratic challenger John Kerry. Republicans called Kerry's service into question on numerous occasions, casting doubts over his record in the military. Director George Butler (PUMPING IRON) aims to put the record straight with this exploratory documentary, which takes a detailed look into Kerry's activities in Vietnam. With an impressive range of material at his disposal, Butler draws on personal letters from Kerry, camcorder footage, and his journal, to tell the tale. After highlighting Kerry's courage amidst the difficult terrain, Butler focuses on the senator's post-Vietnam anti-war activism, which saw him publicly berate President Richard Nixon. Based on the book TOUR OF DUTY by Douglas Brinkley, this is a great way to discover the truth behind the many rumors and half-truths surrounding the Kerry campaign.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Theatrical TrailerDVD-Rom Features: Weblinks

Jacques Perrin (MICROCOSMOS) presents this dramatically beautiful documentary about bird migratory patterns, featuring breathtaking photography and hypnotic music. The film covers seven continents during four seasons, highlighting species both unique and common. From puffins in Iceland, whooper swans in Japan, bald eagles in Arizona, flamingos in Kenya, albatross in New Zealand, macaw in Peru, geese in Nepal, and plenty of cranes and storks in the director`s native France, WINGED MIGRATION is literally a tour of the world from a bird`s eye view. Filmed over the course of three year`s time, the production for the movie was extensive to say the least. Using a crew of over 450 people broken up into five teams, new photographic techniques were invented specifically for the purpose of filming flocks of birds in flight. Balloon, helicopter, helicopter model, remote controlled glider, traditional glider, delta plane, and ultra-light motorized aircraft are the flying devices used to achieve the film`s incredible camera angles. In fact, because birds were trained to be unafraid of the delta plane, photographers were able to fly alongside flocks, sometimes filming birds as they gazed into the camera`s lens while also keeping in focus the dramatic landscape unfolding below. WINGED MIGRATION takes viewers on a unique journey soaring over the Earth as few films have ever done before.

In the spirit of John Cage's historic and revolutionary composition 4'33''--which challenges the boundaries of traditional music through four and a half minutes of intentional silence--Miroslav Sebestik's fascinating documentary LISTEN explores the very nature of sound and hearing. Utilizing interviews with composers, musicologists, and theorists--including Luciano Berio, Knud Victor, and Cage himself--as well as sounds of rabbits sleeping, tugboats, industrial machines, and other unconventional forms of music, Sebestik raises vital questions about the aesthetics of listening.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Interactive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
