    Mel Seligman was a patriotic young American when he stormed 
the beaches of Normandy in 1944 as part of the D-Day invasion. 
Returning four decades later to the tranquil Normandy country- 
side, Seligman and his family tell how the horror and shock of  
combat led to his early discharge for "battle fatigue"--and left 
him emotionally scarred for life.  Through the personal exper- 
iences of one man, SOLDIER'S HEART articulates a little told  
side of World War II: 45% of the soldiers medically discharged 
suffered from combat stress; tens of thousands of men emerged 
>from the war unable to lead normal lives.  SOLDIER'S HEART is an 
extraordinary, personal account conceived and produced by  
Seligman's daughter.

    Bob Sampson is a former U.S. Army paratrooper who fought in  
Vietnam until his left leg was shot off.  Nikolai Chuvanov is a  
former paratrooper in the Soviet Army who served in Afghanistan 
until his right leg was shattered by a bullet.  HEART OF THE 
WARRIOR movingly portrays the personal aftermath of war for  
these two men.  Sampson and Chuvanov travel separately back to 
Vietnam and Afghanistan, where they graphically relive their 
combat experiences and meet their former enemies face-to-face. 
When the two veterans finally meet each other, both still suffer 
>from the enduring pain of war-time.  Through compassion, comrad- 
erie, and even humor these former warriors form a powerful, heal- 
ing bond and offer a message of hope to us all.

    Since China's occupation of Tibet in 1949, more than 1 mil- 
lion Tibetans have died and over 6,000 monasteries have been de- 
stroyed at the hands of the Chinese.  TIBET IN EXILE documents 
the tragic plight of Tibet, focusing on the nearly 120,000 Ti- 
betans who have escaped from their remote homeland to live in 
India and Nepal.  Under the guidance of their leader, the Dalai 
Lama, the exile communityu is struggling to preserve their an- 
cient culture, regain their country, and maintain their Buddhist 
values of compassion and tolerance.  The video highlights the 
story of 10 children smuggled out of Tibet by relatives who  
crossed the Himalayas on foot so that the children might live  
more freely.  Included is rare footage of the Dalai Lama's 1959 
escape and more recent footage of attacks by the chinese Army 
on Tibetan monks.  While providing enlightenment on the dire 
situation Tibetans face, TIBET IN EXILE offers a lesson of hope 
and cultural survival relevant to all.

WHERE THERE IS HATRED       1990 * 57 min. 
--------------------- 
         Produced by IIan Ziv and Jonathan Miller 

      >VHS Sale $39.95  Rent #20. 

    Horrified at the toll taken by violent struggles for social  
justice, Israeli journalist Ilan Ziv traveled to Chile, the West 
Bank, and the Philippines looking for alternative models of soc- 
ial change.  Based on his experiences, Ziv produced WHERE THERE 
IS HATRED, a powerful argument for the effectiveness of nonvio- 
lent political action. 
    This film draws on case studies demonstrating that popular, 
nonviolent resistance to state oppression is a viable alternative 
to armed revolution.  Dr. Gene Sharp, Director of the Harvard  
University Program on Nonviolent Strategies, analyzes these  
recent struggles and clearly delineates four stages in the pro- 
cess of creating effective nonviolent social action: Overcoming 
Fear, Unity and Empowerment, Demilitarizing the Military, and 
Building a New Society. 
    Introduced by Maryknoll Father William F. Mullan, this is a 
thought-provoking film which puts "people power" in a positive 
perspective.  Especially recommended for use in Peace Studies 
and Comparative Politics. 

      "WHERE THERE IS HATRED vividly captures the drama and 
       significance of "people power" movements that are chang- 
       ing history in remarkable and unexpected ways." 
           --Richard Deats, (former) Frofessor of Social Ethics, 
             Union Theological Seminary, Philippines.

    RIGHT HUMAN RELATIONS is a thought-provoking look at the de- 
velopment of "human rights" from the time of Moses through the  
20th Century.  The program asserts that concern for human rights 
is common to diverse religious and political traditions.  From  
the Incas in Peru and the ancient Greeks to today's evolving glo- 
bal culture, the key to "right human relations" is seen as the  
struggle for human rights. 
    The film presents the positive landmarks in human history  
that have helped advance the notion of human rights.  A special  
focus is placed on the creation of the United Nations in 1945  
the subsequent adoption of the "Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights." 
         *Transcript included 

      "RIGHT HUMAN RELATIONS is an outstanding educational tool 
       to use with high school students...in view of the movement 
       towards increased freedom in many parts of the world." 
             --Darlene Berges, Teacher, Oakcrest High School 

      "...a valuable tool to help navigate the uncharted waters 
       of the pivotal 1990's." 
             --Gerald Mische, President, Global Education Assoc. 

      "An excellent contribution, showing the whole of humanity's 
       struggles in this field." 
             --Robert Muller, Chancellor, University of Peace, 
               Former Assistant Secretary-General of the U.N.

    DEFENDING AMERICA is a thorough, timely examination of the  
causes, costs and consequences of military spending.  The pro- 
gram takes a close look at a variety of issues related to the  
Pentagon's budget:  military waste, procurement policies, the  
effects on research, the contribution to the national debt, the 
impact on jobs, and the tradeoffs with social programs.  The 
program also focuses on citizen's groups working on defense  
spending issues.  DEFENDING AMERICA features experts on both  
sides of the military budget issue, including Kenneth Adelman,  
former director of the U.S. Arms Control Agency, Admiral Gene R.  
Larocque(ret.), director of the Center for Defense Information, 
Congressional leaders, and representatives of defense contractors 
and citizens groups working to reduce military spending. 

        **SILVER APPLE, Nat'l Educational Film And Video Festival 

      "A clear, no-nonsense look at how and why we spend--and 
       waste--so many billions on defense.  It's the kind of

       American people..."

    WHOSE BREAD YOU EAT is a 12 minute ethical challenge to col- 
lege and high school students making first-time career choices. 
  Narrated by actor Esai Marales ("La Bamba"), this discussion 
starter urges students to consider the social implications of 
their work choices and to take personal responsibility for sol- 
ving our society's problems.  Science and Engineering students 
in particular are asked to consider learning about alternative 
career paths.  As the Cold War winds down, the "best and  
brightest" may find fewer opportunities available in the defense 
industry.  The video maintains that true national security comes 
not from sophisticated weapons systems, but from repairing our 
"decayed social infrastructure." 
    A DETAILED 35 PAGE WORKBOOK ACCOMPANIES THE TAPE. It includes 
Readings, Discussion Questions, Exercises, and Resources.  The 
tape and workbook are designed for use by teachers, clergy, 
counselors, or by individuals. 

      "An easy to use career counseling resource for individuals 
       or groups...Challenges students to understand that their  
       choice of careers powerfully affects society." 
             --Adrianne Bank, Ph.D. Graduate School of Education   
                                    UCLA 

      "There is a woeful lack of information available to students 
       who are concerned about the morality of the work they may  
       be called on to do...a program like this will make a major 
       contribution..." 
            --Rabbi Richard N. Levy, Executive Director,

      >VHS Sale $79.95  Rent $35. 

    The Pentagon spends over $1.5 billion a year for advertising 
aimed at filling the ranks of the military with young recruits. 
But for many, the military will be the wrong choice.  Young  
people need the full range of facts to make an informed decision  
about their future.  This newly updated version of CHOICE OR 
CHANCE gives them the opportunity to hear from people who've  
been through the military.  This colorful, factual, profes- 
sionally-produced presentation explores such questions as: What 
are recruiters promises really worth?  Does military training 
help in civilian life?  What are the potential problem areas  
recruiters ignore?  CHOICE OR CHANCE also addresses the key  
human ethics and values questions in a clear and accessible  
way, so that young people can begin thinking these issues  
through on their own.  A useful aid for teachers, clergy, draft 
counselors, and parents.  (Slide/Sound show transferred to  
Video) 

      "The best audiovisual available for the education of  
        young people regarding...registration, recruitment,  
        and the draft.  Enjoyable and fact-filled."

    PLANTING SEEDS FOR PEACE, is a timely documentary promoting 
intercultural dialogue and understanding in the Middle East.  The 
program focuses on the relationships among four Israeli, Arab, 
and Palestinian teenagers who come together in the United States 
to breakdown stereotypes and present their perspectives on the  
Middle East conflict to American young people.  Along the way,  
they devilop close friendships and a better understanding of each 
other's cultures.  PLANTING SEEDS FOR PEACE is especially useful  
for helping junior high and high school age youths better under- 
stand the Middle East conflict.  The program personalizes a 
complex situation and provides a positive example of how mutual 
dialogue can help to overcome cultural differences.   
        *Included with the video is an in-depth LEADER'S GUIDE. 

      "(PLANTING SEEDS FOR PEACE) is an exciting glimpse of the 
       potential to resolve conflict between Arabs and Jews...a

       differences among people and overcome our prejudices.   
       The video's contribution to that effort is priceless."

    In the late 1980's, the defense industryu contributed to the  
employment of nearly 20 million Americans.  Now that the Cold 
War is over, what kind of future is in store for these workers?   
BITING THE BULLET profiles workers, community and industrial  
leaders in areas hard hit by military cutbacks, from a former 
ammunition plant on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to the empty  
naval shipyards of Southern California.  This timely program 
also explores the proposed solutions of business, labor, and 
political leaders for keeping workers and businesses productive 
despite fewer military dollars.  From the award-winning public 
television series, WE DO THE WORK. *HOSTED by actor Ned Beatty.

    Military spending is decreasing and many corporations de- 
pendent on defense dollars will lose big contracts.  Are these  
corporations prepared to make a shift into civilian markets? 
What's involved in retooling to make this change?  Ohio held a 
pioneering conference for defense contractors to look at some of 
the problems and provide some of the answers.  Governor Richard 
Celeste, executives from several major defense firms, labor  
leaders, and other top experts participate.  Soviet Ambassador 
Yuri Dubinin reports on the Soviet experience in shifting gears. 
A good overview of a subject increasingly important for our 
economic well-being. 

      "A dramatic example of what can be accomplished by  
       committed defense industry management.  Must viewing 
       for all who may be impacted by defense cutbacks." 
             --Michael Closson, Executive Director, 
                                Center for Economic Conversion

THE FRISBY SUCCESS STORY       1990 * 29 min.

    This program takes a closer look at one corporation that has 
successfully diversified from military production into commercial 
products.  Frisby Airborne Hydraulics is a Long Island firm that 
for decades produced equipment for military aircraft.  Now,  
Frisby uses the same people and know-how to produce products for 
civilian use.  This video goes inside the plant to talk with  
Frisby executives and workers, and looks at the innovative man- 
agement approach which enabled this dynamic company to change  
with the times.  The Frisby example holds important lessons for 
other defense firms and communities faced with lower Pentagon 
budgets.

    The fear of losing jobs is one of the main reasons for sup- 
port of large military contracts and for opposition to deep re- 
ductions in nuclear and conventional arsenals.  In San Diego the 
reduction of military contracts threatens one out of every four 
jobs.  This problem also faces many other communities in the  
United States.  At a conference held in San Diego, represent- 
atives of labor, management, and the community discuss economic 
conversion and how to save jobs when military contracts are cut 
back.  A local community organizer also presents a compelling  
case for how labor and citizens groups can work together.  This 
is a lively and stimulating analysis including comments by  
elected officials and nationally recognized economists, Prof. 
Seymour Melman and Prof. Lloyd Dumas.
