The events of September 11th, 2001 shook the world. Images of planes crashing into the World Trade Center, alongside reports of the other hijackings, quickly spread feelings of terror into everyone that saw them. In this film, director Jack Cashill takes an alternative perspective on the events that unfolded on that fateful day, offering the theory that they were part of a major political conspiracy that had been building slowly over several decades. Deeming these events the MEGA FIX, Cashill offers a controversial, yet concise and easy to follow, guide on why he believes the events of 9/11 were no accident, or indeed, a surprise.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: (unspecified) - English

Taking a look at the life of Soviet-era composer Khachaturian, this exploratory film is a fascinating counterpart to the music he produced. Hailing from Armenia, Khachaturian performed in difficult times, attempting to construct masterful works to a backdrop of social and political upheaval. In this documentary from director Peter Rosen, footage of the Red Army and the Kremlin proliferate throughout, but segue neatly into musical recitals from Soviet composers, and valuable footage of concert performances. Passages of Khachaturian's works are introduced throughout, including notable interpretations of the SPARTACUS and GAYNE ballets. Historically fascinating, this is a valuable document of a bygone era in classical music.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - English Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Additional Footage - 1.
