In and around one village in Nazi-occupied France, 5,000 Jews were taken in and sheltered--by 5,000 Christians! "Weapons of the Spirit" is the story of a unique conspiracy of goodness, a story filmmaker Pierre Sauvage was born to tell: he was born and protected at that time in that singular oasis of peace--Le Chambon. Le Chambon-sur-Lignon was a tiny Protestant farming village in the mountains of south-central France. Defying the Nazis and the French government that was collaborating with the Nazis, the villagers of the area of Le Chambon provided a safe haven throughout the war for whoever knocked on their door. Most of the villagers were proud descendants of the Huguenots, the first Protestants in Catholic France. |

In northeastern Vermont, Ben Thresher operates his nineteenth-century water-powered mill to provide tubs, sleds, and tools needed by local farmers. This portrait of Ben Thresher and the workaday world of his mill is more than a bit of New England folk history. Mill technology and millwrights like Ben were crucial to America's settlement, and through Ben's Mill we come to understand their significance to their communities, even today.. |

Ken Burns Presents The West (Boxed Set)
List Price: $99.98 Now Only: $39.99 You Save: $ 59.99 (60%)
Category: VHS Movies
Publisher: PBS Home Video & Time-Life Video Directed By: Stephen Ives, Ken Burns Prices subject to change. Please verify pricing during checkout. |

Since its premiere on PBS in September 1996, The West has rightfully assumed its place as a milestone event in television history, and remains the single most ambitious and authoritative audio-visual history of the American West. Spanning centuries but focusing primarily on the period of 1800 to 1915, when America was virtually redefined by westward expansion, this outstanding 12.5-hour film is itself a triumphant effort to redefine Americans' collective understanding of the West and its impact on national identity. Directed by Stephen Ives and executive produced by Ken Burns (The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz), the film follows the theory adopted by previous Ken Burns productions--namely, that "history is biography"--and unfolds through a wealth of personal anecdote and intimate documentation. The film's lasting achievement is its interweaving of the two distinct threads of western history--the triumph of westward expansion from the urban areas of the East, and the tragic dispossession of the Native Americans who had populated North America for thousands of years. |

The McCourts of Limerick
List Price: $19.95 Now Only: $13.25 You Save: $ 6.70 (34%)
Category: VHS Movies
Publisher: New Video Group Starring: Alphie McCourt, Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, Mike McCourt Directed By: Conor McCourt Prices subject to change. Please verify pricing during checkout. |
|
In keeping with the enduring spirit of Frank McCourt's phenomenal bestseller Angela's Ashes, this hour-long documentary is literally a family affair. It's really a home movie, directed by Conor McCourt, the son of Frank's brother Malachy, that has been made public for the many fans of Frank's book and Malachy's own acclaimed memoir, A Monk Swimming. That the film has an amateurish quality in both sound and image only enhances its value as a personal document of primary importance to the McCourts themselves but equally interesting for anyone with a fondness for all things Irish. Through interviews and personal anecdotes, we quickly learn that the four surviving McCourt brothers (Frank, Malachy, Michael, and Alphonsus) are a stalwart bunch, having weathered a family history that is quintessentially Irish. |
