Hello, Rick Sayre, Bullfrog Films offers Nuclear Dynamite DVD, a unique documentary that investigates American and Soviet plans to use nuclear explosives for "geographical engineering." The DVD is available in two versions, 72 and 52 minutes. Check the link to our web description here: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/nd.html "Absorbing docu digs up declassified footage to explore a threat that ran quietly alongside the Cold War weapons race. The expertly assembled "Nuclear Dynamite" looks back on 30 years, now almost forgotten, in which the U.S. and the Soviet Union competed to find the most dramatic peacetime use of atomic explosions." Variety "Important and timely, 'Nuclear Dynamite' recalls a fast-fading epoch of the world's nuclear history. Together with the documentary 'Atomic Cafe', on the government propaganda and popular culture of the early nuclear age, and such commercial films as 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', 'On the Beach', and 'Dr. Strangelove', it would wonderfully enrich courses on postwar America or on the nuclear era...Highly recommended."

Richard Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 10:02 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Videolib] FW: Cold War/Atomic History Thought I'd pass this one on to the collective wisdom of the video-lib group. I have a faculty member looking for film suggestions on the following topic: Subject: Cold War/Atomic History Is anyone aware of a good 1-2 hour film on early Cold War history and politics? I'd like to give my ILA [i.e., freshman seminar] class some more insight on the tensions surrounding the late 40's and early 50's. I'd also be open to popular films which really come out of the fear of communism and soviet aggression. Thanks in advance! Rick J. Richard Sayre Library Director Hewes Library Monmouth College 700 E.

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.
