The long, strange trip of Dr. Timothy Leary, alternately lionized and despised as the High Priest of 1960s LSD subculture, has inspired generations in search of self-discovery and expanded consciousness. This authorized documentary of Leary's life pays homage to Leary and other'60s counterculture personalities such as Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters--who inspired Tom Wolfe's THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST--and Acid Test house band The Grateful Dead. Like other films that deal with the work of iconoclastic American heroes, such as WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: COMMISSIONER OF SEWERS and GROWING UP IN AMERICA--spotlighting'60s political radicals like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin--this film offers testament to the power of revolutionary thought.LAST TRIP recounts Leary's early life, from his schooling at West Point and his tenure as a Harvard professor, to the university and government experiments that prompted his research into LSD and other hallucinogens. Centering on Leary's relationships with key figures in the heyday of the drug era, archival footage and interviews chronicle the famous bus trip that first brought Leary and Kesey together. Insightful interviews with Leary toward the end of his life (he died of cancer in 1996), show that he dealt with terminal illness in a manner as colorful as the era with which he will be forever linked.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAdditional Release Materials: Theatrical TrailerInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Although her life was cut cruelly short, Marilyn Monroe left behind such a rich legacy that it leaves most other starlets trailing in her considerable wake. Liaisons with baseball star Joe DiMaggio, playwright Arthur Miller, and an alleged affair with John F. Kennedy have lead to a constant source of speculation regarding her private life. As an on-screen diva she lit up movie theatres with her natural charms, and gained an impressive and devoted following worldwide. Her death from a sedative prescription has lead to much rumor mongering over the years, with the many theories rivalling the demise of her former alleged paramour, JFK, in the conspiracy stakes. This documentary takes a look at her life and work in detail, offering a great chance to revisit the highs and lows of the original screen Goddess.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Rikers Island in New York City is home to a fearful penitentiary with a lengthy--and often troubled--history. Filmmaker Troy Reed chose Rikers as the location for his documentary, entitled SCARFACE 4 LIFE, in an attempt to convey some of the disturbing events that have taken place on the island. Drawing on some fearsome events that were triggered in the late-1980s and early-1990s, Reed highlights police corruption, inmate slayings, and plenty more besides in this powerful portrait of a bleak institution.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: (unspecified) - English
