Featured Titles

   
Second Home: Going to Sea on a U.S. Aircraft Carrier
Second Home: Going to Sea
on a U.S. Aircraft Carrier


This program takes place on the John F. Kennedy, one of our biggest carriers, as she heads to the Middle East. It closely follows a number of individuals before they leave home and as they go to sea. The result is an extremely revealing insight into the functioning of the ship as a second home, as well as the experiences of the men aboard. This is a very personal and touching film.

Jimmy Doolittle: An American Hero

He was a stunt pilot, an aircraft designer, a war hero, an inventor, a motorcycle racer, a prospector, a boxing champion, a military strategist, a scientist, a four-star Air Force general and an all-around hellraiser. But most of all, he was probably the greatest flyer America ever produced.

B.B. King and Joan Baez - in Concert at Sing Sing

On Thanksgiving Day, 1972, New York's Sing Sing Prison invited B.B. King, Joan Baez, the Voices of East Harlem, comedian Jimmy Walker, and others to perform for the inmates. New York's Daily News called it one of the greatest concert moments in live entertainment. B.B. King later said it was maybe the best performance that he had ever given.
