- Woodstock [videorecording] : three days that defined a generation / by Ephron, Jamila,television producer.; Goodman, Barak,television producer,screenwriter,television director.; Kleszy, Don,screenwriter.; Samels, Mark,television producer.; Ark Media (Firm),production company.; PBS Distribution (Firm),publisher.; Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.),broadcaster.;
In August 1969, nearly half a million people gathered at a farm in upstate New York to hear music. What happened over the next three days, however, was far more than a concert. It would become a legendary event, one that would define a generation and mark the end of one of the most turbulent decades in modern history. Occurring just weeks after an American set foot on the moon, the Woodstock music festival took place against a backdrop of a nation in conflict over sexual politics, civil rights and the Vietnam War. A sense of an America in transition -- a handoff of the country between generations with far different values and ideals -- was tangibly present at what promoters billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace and Music." Woodstock turns the lens back at the audience, at the swarming, impromptu city that grew up overnight on a few acres of farm land. What took place in that teaming mass of humanity -- the rain-soaked, starving, tripping, half-a-million strong throng of young people -- was nothing less than a miracle of teamwork, a manifestation of the "peace and love" the festival had touted and a validation of the counter-culture's promise to the world. Who were these kids? What experiences and stories did they carry with them to Bethel, New York that weekend, and how were they changed by three days in the muck and mire of Yasgur's farm?E.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.- Subjects: Nonfiction television programs.; Documentary television programs.; Historical television programs.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Woodstock Festival (1969 : Bethel, N.Y.); Rock music; Rock music festivals; Rock music;

Enter the combat zone and go behind the lines of engagement to hear the true stories of war from the men and women who lived it!

These interviews represent a wide variety of branches, service locations, and military roles; collectively, they illuminate the dramatic and ongoing effects of the war on those who participated. Each of these veterans experienced the war in a unique, individual way; no two stories are the same.

Share the story of a young Marine who became a Hollywood star caught in the hell of the TET offensive in Vietnam.

- Sing, unburied, sing : a novel / by Ward, Jesmyn,author.;
"A searing and profound Southern odyssey by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. In Jesmyn Ward's first novel since her National Book Award-winning Salvage the Bones, this singular American writer brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America. Drawing on Morrison and Faulkner, The Odyssey and the Old Testament, Ward gives us an epochal story, a journey through Mississippi's past and present that is both an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. Ward is a major American writer, multiply awarded and universally lauded, and in Sing, Unburied, Sing she is at the height of her powers. Jojo and his toddler sister, Kayla, live with their grandparents, Mam and Pop, and the occasional presence of their drug-addicted mother, Leonie, on a farm on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Leonie is simultaneously tormented and comforted by visions of her dead brother, which only come to her when she's high; Mam is dying of cancer; and quiet, steady Pop tries to run the household and teach Jojo how to be a man. When the white father of Leonie's children is released from prison, she packs her kids and a friend into her car and sets out across the state for Parchman farm, the Mississippi State Penitentiary, on a journey rife with danger and promise. Sing, Unburied, Sing grapples with the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power, and limitations, of the bonds of family. Rich with Ward's distinctive, musical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic new work and an essential contribution to American literature"--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; African American families;
