Inside Islam (DVD)

A sweeping story of one of the world's greatest faiths. Discover the truth about this often misunderstood religion.

It is the fastest growing and second largest of the world's most popular religions. Its name comes from the word for peace, yet to many Westerners it is synonymous with terror. Inside Islam lifts the veil of mystery surrounding a misunderstood faith. Trace its roots back to the Hebrew Bible and discover how the Five Pillars, the religion's central tenets, helped spread Islam to the far corners of the world. Find out what the Qu'Ran says about war, violence and suicide, and how these words have been co-opted by extremists. And hear from experts like Khaled Abou el Fadl (Speaking in God's Name), who debate the challenges facing Islam today, including a crisis of authority and deep divisions among many sects. Illuminating, important and objective, Inside Islam exposes the heart of a faith mired in controversy.

African American Lives 2 (DVD)

Trace the roots of African-Americans.

In February 2006, the PBS series African American Lives narrated by acclaimed Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, showed the results of extensive genealogical searches of prominent African Americans, including composer and producer Quincy Jones, talk show host Oprah Winfrey and comedian Chris Tucker. Reaction to the show spurred thousands of black Americans to begin or renew the search, especially with the help of DNA testing, to find their origins. Gates and PBS have teamed up for a sequel that aired in February 2008, but this version will have a twist: A member of the general public will be selected to have his or her genealogical roots traced. The winner's story will be told along with those of several celebrities, including Chris Rock, Morgan Freeman, Tom Joyner Maya Angelou, Don Cheadle and others.
