Under the Radar: New DVDs
by amy
Sure, we have Syriana and Friends With Money, but here are some interesting titles you may not have heard of:
1. In 10 Days that Unexpectedly Changed America, acclaimed documentary filmmakers offer a compelling look at 10 pivotal moments in American history and their often unforeseen repercussions.
2. Not to be confused with Broken Arrow, starring John Travolta and Christian Slater (which is currently on order), Broken Rainbow, winner of the 1985 Academy Award for Best Documentary, is the heartbreaking tale of the forced relocation of 12,000 Navajos from their ancestral homeland in Arizona that began in the 1970's.
3. Sketches of Frank Gehry takes a look at the work of visionary, artist, and well-known architect Frank Gehry.
4. And finally, an odd but interesting acquisition is 100 Years of Big Ideas, from the The Adcraft Club of Detroit. Footage from its 2005 centennial party celebrating the creative work produced by the Detroit advertising community over the past 100 years includes the "Top 10 best Detroit ads of all time".
