[Videolib] Australia's Twilight of the Dreamtime question

2011-11-02 Thread Jeanne Little
Anyone have any ideas?

I have been asked by a faculty member to locate to purchase the vhs (or
dvd, if it exists) and the streaming rights for the title Australia's
Twilight of the Dreamtime, which was produced by the National Geographic
Society, 1988.

I have had no luck, only hit on Amazon.com.uk http://amazon.com.uk/ for
the vhs used, which will give me no streaming rights. Does anyone have
contact information for somebody at National Geographic who might be able
to help me? Or does anyone know whether this available anywhere else to
purchase?

Help.

Thanks

Jeanne,

Is there a chance that National Geographic has re-released it with an updated 
title?

Searching their website I see Australia's Aborigines DVD Exclusive and shows 
a copyright date of 1989

 It may plausibly be urged that the shape of a culture - its mores, 
evaluations, family organizations,  eating habits, living patterns, pedagogical 
methods, institutions, forms of government, and so forth -  arise from the 
economic necessities of its technology.

I just talked to NG, and the person I ended up talking to confirmed that 
their DVD titled Australia's Aborigines is an updated version of 
Australia's Twilight of the Dreamtime.

Hope this helps,
Gail
