In 1959 screenwriter Rod Serling first opened the door to the "dimension of imagination" that is The Twilight Zone, a show quite unlike anything that had gone before, and better than much that has followed in its wake. This original and daring television series ran for a magnificent five seasons from 1959 to 1964 and still looks as fresh as ever, particularly on DVD. What distinguished the series (and still does) is the quality of the scripts, many of which were penned by Serling, but with significant contributions from veteran sci-fi authors and screenwriters such as Richard Matheson. Actors of the calibre of Robert Redford, Burgess Meredith, Lee Marvin and William Shatner gave some of their best small-screen performances, while an unforgettable main title theme by Bernard Herrmann and musical contributions from young turks such as Jerry Goldsmith underlined the show's attraction for great creative talent both behind and in front of the cameras. --Mark Walker
Genocide: The winner of the 1981 Oscar for Best Documentary Genocide tells the story of the millions of men women and children who fell victim to Hitler's Final Solution. Using archival film footage and compelling still photography this extraordinary documentary traces the evolution of the Holocaust in fascinating and horrifying detail and chronicles the scourge of anti-Semitism from Biblical times to the rise of Nazism. The heart of this film is the moving narrative of ordinary people caught up in the Nazi reign of terror. Their individual stories of suffering and heroism challenge the viewer - to see the victims as beings and to remember... The Long Way Home: The film examines the critical post World War II period from 1945 - 1948 and the plight of tens of thousands of refugees who survived the Nazi Holocaust and their often-illegal attempts to get to the Jewish homeland. It explores how much of the world turned its back on the tragedy of these forgotten people and the world events that led to the creation of the state of Israel. Liberation: Liberation tells the dramatic story of the battle waged on two fronts during World War II - the allied campaign to liberate Europe and Hitler's genocidal war against the Jews. Using archival footage contemporary radio broadcasts and enthralling first person accounts Liberation recreates the heady atmosphere of Europe emerging from Nazi domination - in stark contrast to the horrific final days of the Final Solution. Liberation begins in 1942 when the struggling Allies began envisioning an invasion of Europe. The film reveals the strategies and deceptions on all sides while vividly depicting the struggle on the battlefield. But most of all this film documents the compelling stories of the Jews of Europe - their tragedy courage resistance and survival.
