The website for filmmakers Alan and Susan Raymond (http://www.videoverite.tv ) says "American Family Revisited" is available through Transit Media (http://www.transitmedia.net ). Transit Media does not list whether it is on vhs or DVD. As I recall the original series was in litigation, so this may be as close as you can get. Couldn't hurt to e-mail the filmmakers, though ([email protected] or (800) 343-5540 - the phone number for Transit Media).

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
