Great Panama Canal Footage! by Bart (Montpellier, France)  5 Stars
July 20, 2006
The highlight of this DVD set is the footage on teh building and maintainence of the panama canal. It's shot beautifully and gave me an understanding of the canal's place in history that I had never had before. Because you get to see all stages of construction you get a sense of just what a monumental task the canal was. Teh footage has also been kept in excellent shape. Five Stars!

Where Does Food Come From? by jen 5 Stars
May 24, 2006
Did you ever look at your dinner or lunch and wonder exactly where the food on your plate came from? I have, and the response is not "the store!" These movies, shot in the 1950s, explain exactly how food starts off on farms around the world and is harvested and pakcaged and put in your local market. It's interesting. I liked the spot about how coca cola helped people in the far east get jobs. The movies seem like advertisements sometimes but are well directed and filled with enough solid information that that did not bother me at all.
