That is why the government put together these classic film clips contained in the History of Nuclear Defense- Surviving Atomic Attack 2 DVD set. In the 1950s the threat of a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union seemed like a very real possibility to mainstream America. The government had to do something in order to prevent a panic.

At one point the newsreel advises that if your house and yard are kept as clean as possible you will have a greater chance of surviving a nuclear blast. What is fascinating about these films is how incredibly naïve we all were about the dangers the world was facing in the event of an atomic strike! These films could never be produced today. The "Burt The Turtle" film clip is one of the most famous of the Cold War era propaganda films. Using clever animation, Burt assures school children that they have nothing to fear from an atomic attack. [+]This vintage collection of civil defense educational films feature some of the biological effects of high-energy radiations on plants and animal cells and ways for children to protect themselves in case an atomic attack.

Review Charles Mingus: Triumph of the Underdog / SHANACHIE:Don McGlynn's uncompromising and soulful documentary look at the tumultuous life of musician and rebel Charles Mingus is fascinating stuff. Mingus said of himself "I am half black man, half yellow man, but I claim to be a Negro. I am Charles Mingus, the famed jazz musician-but not famed enough to make a living in America. " His statement summed up the conflict that plagued this musical genius his entire life: volatility, pain, prescience, and raw rage roiled inside a complex man, composer, bass player, and trombonist who transcended labels and refused to be pigeonholed into a single musical style-and who did not achieve real fame until late in his career. The documentary is full of well-preserved footage and contains interviews with many Mingus followers like Wynton Marsalis as well as performances by icons Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, and Gerry Mulligan. The film traverses past the musical legend with insight and information into Mingus's personal life, his civil rights activism, and his final triumph in the music world-just as his body began to deteriorate from Lou Gehrig's disease-to his eventual death in 1979. Mingus left a legacy composed of genius, vulnerability, brilliance, anarchy, and, as one friend noted, "the entire range of human emotion that is reflected in his music. " -Paula Nechak.

Review Graffiti Verite: Read the writing on the wall / Bryan World Productions, LLC.:Director / Producer / Director of Photography, Bob Bryan has produced for BRYAN WORLD PRODUCTIONS an amazing new Multi-Award Winning Documentary that explores the eclectic world of Hip Hop and the urban Graffiti Artist. GRAFFITI VERITE' is a 45 minute groundbreaking Documentary that includes interviews and behind the scenes views of 24 of Los Angeles' most prolific and talented Graffiti Artists. GRAFFITI VERITE's conversations vary from comparative discussions on Graffiti's ancestral connection to Ritualistic Hieroglyphics and cave writings to discussions of Graffiti Art as a form of street-level propaganda and Public Art Gallery for the anonymous public. Graffiti Art succeeds as underground counter-programming which is aimed at the same target audience that the Powerful Madison Avenue Mass Media is directed at, albeit with a decidedly different message. Graffiti Art has a contact visceral effect on its audience because Graf Art goes way beyond Art orderliness and conventions, expressing itself through complex design lettering patterns (wild-style), rude colors and strange characters. Graffiti Artists dare to communicate to us, by any means, despite the misconceptions and restrictions! Yet, paradoxically Graffiti Art is still all about Fame and Popularity. In GRAFFITI VERITE', a Graffiti Artist recalls that when he was in Grade school his teacher asked him What do you want to be when you grow up? His response, I want to be either a Terrorist or an Artist. [+]GRAFFITI VERITE' is the first up close and personal expose' into the Graffiti Art World as experienced by 24 ARTISTS whose artistic tool of choice is the Spray can. I quickly discovered as I was shooting GRAFFITI VERITE', says Bob Bryan, & how serious and dedicated these Artists are about their work. The real truth about Graffiti Art completely destroys the old stereotyped image that Graffiti is only about vandalism and tag-banging. Nothing could be further from the truth! These inspired artists efforts are Art Intended, irregardless of whether or not they paint on a wall or a canvas. Bob Bryan, Director / Executive Producer / Director of Photography From Street Art to Gallery Art Showings GRAFFITI VERITE' (The truth about Graffiti) forces us to re-think about our Cultural Reality as well as to expose us to more cutting edge Graffiti Art than has even been seen before in one venue. GRAFFITI VERITE' is a must-see Video if you care at all about what's happening to our culture as well as to the inner world of our children. Ready or not, GRAFFITI ART is the next Great Art Movement after POP ART!.

Review Reel Paradise / Fox Lorber:Reel Paradise tells the extraordinary story of one American family's unique adventure running a cinema and showing free movies on a remote island in Fiji. John Pierson noted independent film maven decided he wanted to move with his family to Fiji and observe what movies meant to a country on the other side of the world. He also saw this adventure as a great opportunity to introduce his two kids Georgia (16) and Wyatt (13) into a culture and lifestyle far different from that of their home in the New York City suburbs. System Requirements:Running Time 110 Mins. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: R UPC: 720917548425 Manufacturer No: FLV5484 Indie-movie guru John Pierson fell in love with the remotest movie theater in the world, the 180 Meridian Cinema, located on the island of Taveuni in Fiji. Instead of filing the place away as an exotic memory, he decided to move his family to Taveuni for a year and run the movie house, an experience documented in the entertaining Reel Paradise. It's not all papaya and roses, as Pierson, his patient wife Janet, and their two willful teenage kids learn; the island's culture shock is real and sometimes alarming. The best part of the film isn't the domestic bickering of the Piersons but the affectionate portrait of the 180 Meridian, with its beat-up chairs, raucous audience, and projectionists who might or might not show up that evening. Pierson is the enthusiastic and sometimes stern high priest of the Meridian, willing to show the Jean-Claude Van Damme movies beloved by locals but also insisting on educating them with more ambitious fare. [+](The Three Stooges are here confirmed as the universal language of cinema. ) Director Steve (Hoop Dreams) James assembled this chronicle, which doesn't skimp on revealing John Pierson as an eccentric, volatile, but very committed presence. The kind of person who gets things done-including this South Pacific lark. -Robert Horton.

Review Jim Brown All American / Hbo Home Video:Spike Lee directs a flawed but fascinating portrait of the sports legend, actor, and activist in Jim Brown: All American. Interviewing former coaches, teammates, and celebrity observers (including Oliver Stone), and with Brown's cooperation, this HBO documentary is best at detailing Brown's early life. Briefly raised by a great-grandmother in Georgia, Brown moved to Long Island, where he found a supportive, predominantly white, community that encouraged his high school victories in basketball, lacrosse, tennis, and, of course, football. He encounters racism at Syracuse University, but Brown's performance and pride overwhelmed all resistance. The Cleveland Browns chapter explains how Brown dominated the game, and then Lee ventures into his subject's experiences in Hollywood and as an African American community leader. The film is engaging and disciplined until controversial issues arise-Brown's alleged abuse toward women, for example-and Lee refuses to press. But in general, this is a good piece about a charismatic, dynamic figure. -Tom Keogh.

Review The Stars of Star Wars - Interviews from the Cast / PASSPORT VIDEO:What's cool about this video is also what makes it seem amateurish at first: it is neither endorsed nor authorized by 20th Century Fox or Lucasfilm. The result: a montage of interviews with everybody of importance to the Star Wars world-from George Lucas and Liam Neeson to Samuel L. Jackson and Harrison Ford, with intelligently written voice-over narration, and a unique exploration of Star Wars and Star Trek together. This is at once an homage to the Star Wars trilogies and a documentary of its sci-fi precursors, from silent film to Star Trek. Since this collection of interviews isn't authorized by Lucasfilm, you won't find footage of the Star Wars movies here, although you will find terrific snippets from sci-fi milestones such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis. A youthful Carrie Fischer talk about the interplanetary appeal of the original Star Wars, while a 20-years-older Fischer talks about the films' fairytale-like grasp across generations. Young and older Harrison Fords and Mark Hamills give interesting perspectives as well; the video also sports one of the longer interviews recorded with the man inside C-3PO. Besides the actual cast and crew of the Star Wars movies including The Phantom Menace, there are interviews here with stars as fans, famous people who love the movies as much as anyone: Sharon Stone, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Magic Johnson, Christina Ricci, and William Shatner. A fun and provocative look through uncensored interviews across the spectrum at all that is Star Wars, worthy of any fan's archive, a must for any serious collection. -Erik Macki There has never been a phenomenon quite like it in the history of movies. [+]Now, experience firsthand the power and impact of STAR WARS with this exciting documentary. See interviews with the stars and filmmakers of both the original STAR WARS series and the new prequel THE PHANTOM MENACE.
