In 1960, accountant Richard Wayman and photographer Phyllis Vaughn started the Cleveland-based Highway Safety Foundation after amassing a sizeable collection of photos taken at auto crash sites and shooting an educational film, SIGNAL 30, which incorporated crash site footage. The Foundation's film production wing, Safety Enterprises, went on to produce a number of now-legendary auto safety films (including WHEELS OF TRAGEDY and MECHANIZED DEATH) incorporating extremely grisly real-life imagery, which were shown to unsuspecting high school students across the United States in the 1960s and 70s. Bret Miller's documentary takes a probing look into the strange story of the people who made these bizarre and haunting films. He includes interviews with genre experts such as educational film archivist Richard Prelinger and Something Weird Video's Mike Vraney, as well as Earle Deems and John Domer--two of the men who worked on these compelling curiosities. While the subject matter is sensationalistic by nature, Miller's approach is reverent, and, though the films have passed on into the land of pop cultural legend, one is never doubtful that those who made the films did so out of a well-intentioned sense of duty and purpose.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep Case1 DiscFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Deleted Scenes Trailers Three Complete Driver's Education Short Films: 1.

From producer/ provocateur Robert Greenwald (OUTFOXED, UNCOVERED: THE WAR ON IRAQ) comes the latest installment in his politically vehement series; this time, the prolific documentary producer tells the real story of the USA Patriot Act. Melding personal stories with words from the experts, the interviews invariably illuminate the assault that has been launched by the Bush administration against the rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution, principly using 9/11 as an excuse. Writer, director, and producer of the film Nonny De La Pena has been nominated for an Academy Award for her film DEATH ON THE JOB, and she has worked as a muckraking investigative journalist for many prestigious organizations; she brings her nose for the truth to this affecting and informative documentary.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: (unspecified) - English
