The History Channel presents an in-depth, fascinating look at that magical block of shininess that is gold in this multi-disciplinary historical documentary. Since the beginning of time, the quest for gold has motivated people of every culture. It has been mined, melted, panned and bartered; it has been the reason for huge wars and migrations. Over 3 hours long, this look into the history of man's relationship with gold is nothing short of compelling.DVD Features:Region 1Boxed SetFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital Stereo - English

The inhabitants of the ocean include innumerable weird and wonderful species. Mankind also likes to dip its toes into the water on occasion, especially when war comes calling. Dr. Robert Ballad is an expert on the military occupancy of the ocean at wartime, having discovered the Titanic, and served as a naval intelligence officer. Using a mixture of animation and old footage, Ballad illustrates how military operations have been carried out underseas. Cold War submarines, the SOSUS (a sound surveillance system deployed by the Navy), and many other aspects of the war underwater are discussed and illustrated throughout, making this a fascinating and informative insight into military operations that take place beneath the depths.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreenAdditional Release Material: Interviews Additional Scenes

The story of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., a man whose complete belief in himself as an expert in anything he devoted his time to ended up ruining his professional career. Growing up in the American prison system, where his father was an employee, Leuchter literally stumbled into his first position as the individual who perfected the electric chair, making capital punishment run more smoothly for the officials, as well as victims. This improvement convinced other prisons that he could make the same adjustments to their chosen outlets: lethal injections, gas chambers, and gallows. Soon, Leuchter was the country's predominant expert on the maintaining and designing of execution equipment. The trial of one Ernst Zundel would change all of this, however. Charged in Canada with the publishing of historical lies in the form of a pamphlet which firmly refuted the reality of the Holocaust and proposed that the gas chambers at Auschwitz were an invention by Jewish sympathizers, Zundel needed the support of an expert who could prove that this was, in fact, the case. Enter Leuchter, who traveled to Poland (on his honeymoon!) and collected samples from various sites to prove, for himself, whether or not these chambers existed. His results, which appeared to everyone except the revisionists and himself as being utterly ridiculous and inaccurate, ruined his marriage, personal life, and career in the penal system. All of this due to his stubborn belief that everything he did was perfect and unflinching. A truly sad story.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.
