Social Issues on DVD - Last fall, the National Film Preservation Foundation released a four-DVD volume, "Treasures III: Social Issues in American Film, 1900-1934." It is the first DVD set to explore the social activism of movies during their first decades. The 12-plus hour set brings together 48 films from an era when virtually no social issue was too controversial for the big screen. You'll meet the UC Davis English professor who curated the DVD set and hear why it's been named one of the top 10 DVD sets of 2007 by the New York Times and the New Yorker.
