At Home with the Georgians DVD

Three-part BBC documentary series looking at domestic life in 18th-century Britain. It argues that the British preoccupation with the home as a manifestation of status dates back to the Georgian period, and looks at the processes by which households were set up and maintained during that era. Author Amanda Vickery unlocks the secrets of the Georgian home by investigating the lives of the people who lived in them. She unlocks the doors to a lost world: What sex is a teapot? What does your choice of dwelling reveal about your ambitions to marry? What is the moral significance of wallpaper? In what ways does a house resemble a human body? Who has access to your home? Where can you find privacy? Who really runs the roost? She uncovers fascinating stories of the people in a world we thought we were familiar with through costume dramas, but which only now offers up its secrets.

    Michael Moore sets out to examine the roots of the financial collapse of the late 2000s. In this outspoken documentary, Moore explores the negative impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans. The film shows how the wages, pensions and healthcare of America's working classes have been undermined in recent years as a result of a huge transfer of wealth to the financial elite, and offers a fierce critique of the conspicuous consumerism that lies at the heart of the American Dream.

    The Corner (2 discs) DVD

    *NEW IN NOVEMBER 2011*

    This excellent mini-series (from the creators of The Wire) is based on the book The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood. It tells the true story of men, women, and children living amid the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore. It chronicles a year in the lives of 15-year old DeAndre McCullough, his mother Fran Boyd, and his father Gary McCullough, as well as other addicts and low-level drug dealers caught up in the economy of heroin and cocaine. Acting performances are superb. While we see the explicit fallout of addiction, the series pictures the humanity and neglected potential of lost souls. The Corner is riveting, rather than depressing.

    • Directed by: Charles S. Dutton
    • Starring: T.K. Carter, Khandi Alexander & Sean Nelson
    • Running time: 6 hours

    Crude Awakening DVD

    A documentary that warns that the age of abundant oil is over. Taking a similar line to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, the premise behind this documentary is that we're all drinking in the last chance saloon. Featuring testimonies from the world's top experts, the film reaches an ominous yet logical conclusion — the Earth's oil supplies are peaking and a crisis of global proportions looms. Even more alarmingly, industrial societies don't have any plans on how to deal with the shortage, threatening the future of our post-industrial fossil fuel-addicted civilization with disaster. Unless western society re-invents its relation to energy needs, economic meltdown is inevitable.
