Thomas Gibson's insightful, prescient documentary frames current political and social issues in a dynamic way, targeting an audience mostly neglected by current discussions: Black youth. A hip hop FAHRENHEIT 9/11, LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT traces our current repressive government to Ronald Reagan's time in office, when rap music shifted into more political realms as it began to be a hot topic on the Senate floor. Gibson also provides startling links between the government and the sale of crack cocaine in the ghetto; ultimately, the film examines the myriad ways the current administration functions as a repressive agent of control within the Black community. Gibson incorporates interviews with average people as well as countless celebrities, including 50 Cent, KRS-1, Mystic, Amiri Baraka, Ghostface Killah. Narrated by Snoop Doggy Dog, the film also features appearances by Democratic presidential nominee Dennis Kucinich, social commentator Michael Eric Dyson, Larry Flynt, and Damon Dash.DVD FeaturesRegion 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Deleted Scenes - Uncut Interviews With Featured Artists Outtakes -Snoop Dogg's Narration Recording Session

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

Based on Michael Lesy's 1973 book of the same name, WISCONSIN DEATH TRIP is a strikingly original nonfiction film that tells the strange story of one cursed American community. In the late 1890s, the small rural town of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, suffered through an incredibly bizarre crisis. Economically depressed and battling a diphtheria epidemic, in addition to relentlessly bleak weather conditions, the residents of Black River Falls began to collectively lose their minds. Through recreations, old photographs, and newspaper clippings culled from the era (read by Ian Holm), James Marsh's film shows just how bizarre a time in history this actually was.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Stereo 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
