Hello, Jennifer, 1. For footage on the home front during World War II, Bullfrog Films offers "After Silence: Civil Rights and the Japanese-American Experience" on DVD. Take a look at the clip on our web site: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/after.html
"Exquisitely filmed...makes excellent use of extensive archival footage and stills and could prove very useful in provoking classroom discussion. Recommended for school and academic libraries." Susan M. Clark, MLS, Library Journal 2. Another DVD title related to the US Manhattan Project, the history of nuclear weapons, and efforts to halt nuclear proliferation: "The Strangest Dream." Here is the clip online: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/sdream.html "The Cold War ended two decades ago but the nuclear arms race that it fueled has continued unabated. That nuclear weapons have not been used in anger since August 1945 is in no small way due to the tireless work of physicist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Movement that he supported and led for decades... this brilliant, dedicated and determined physicist was first among a small band of scientists who helped to stymie the mad plans of nuclear warriors." Martin J. Sherwin, Professor of History, George Mason University, Author, A World Destroyed: Hiroshima and Its Legacies Both DVDs are available from Bullfrog Films.

I have looked at PBS, History Channel, Amazon, and Baker & Taylor. Although I can find titles (thank you Gary for your excellent mediagraphies), I can't seem to find available titles to order. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
