Description

IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST MAJOR BATTLES OF WWII, FOUGHT ON A TINY PACIFIC ISLAND ONLY EIGHT MILES SQUARE. AND WHEN IT WAS OVER, NEARLY 30,000 AMERICAN AND JAPANESE MEN WERE DEAD. THOUSANDS MORE WERE WOUNDED. THIS IS THE STORY OF IWO JIMA, TOLD ENTIRELY THROUGH THE VOICES OF AMERICAN SERVICEMEN WHO SURVIVED THE HELL THAT WAS "OPERATION DETACHMENT." INTERVIEWED 50 YEARS AFTER THE LAST SHOT ON IWO WAS FIRED, MANY OF THESE BRAVE MEN HAD NEVER BEFORE SPOKEN TO ANYONE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES ON "SULPHER ISLAND" -- A SILENCE THAT HAUNTED THEM FOR DECADES. ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON PBS, IWO JIMA: 50 YEARS OF MEMORIES HAS BEEN DIGITALLY REMASTERED WITH ADDED FOOTAGE AND PHOTOGRAPHS, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL MAPS AND ARCHIVAL FILM NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. IWO JIMA: 50 YEARS OF MEMORIES REMAINS A MOVING TRIBUTE TO ALL OF THE MEN WHO SUFFERED THROUGH THIS HORRIFIC CAMPAIGN -- AND THE THOUSANDS WHO DIDN'T COME HOME.

For those who want a close and intimate portrait of Bonhoeffer. This video follows the life of the martyred theologian as vividly recalled by those closest to him: his friends, family, and students. Included are Bonhoeffer family photographs that have never been shown before. An emotionally wrenching documentary that probes the struggles and motivations of Bonhoeffer in a way that makes one ask anew: What does it mean to be a Christian in the 20th century world? B & W

Don't Miss It!.......2006-08-20

Of all the documentary/biographies this easily rank my #1.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a compelling person, whose faith and life were consistent against Nazi evil. While I enjoy any well-done biography of the man, this production ranks above the other, newer efforts. First, it incorporatess commentary from family and others who worked with him. That generation is now gone, making this a historically significant piece of work that emphasizes reporting/documentary. This aspect is enhanced by the black and white format; it feels like the 1940s. Second, it is developed thematically, so that the significance of how Bonhoeffer impacted the church and the world in the context of WWII Germany, and the German Resistance is powerfully conveyed.

Having used this in video format for college applied Ethics classes as well as writing classes learning to construct critical commentaries, for 15 years or more, I can honestly say that this one 90-minute documentary has had a more profound effect on more students, than anything else I have used in teaching. I've seen it at least 50 times, and it never wears thin. The challenge of Bonhoeffer's life and work needs to be presented to succeeding generations. He teaches us how to live, and how to die.

I'm SO grateful it is being rereleased on DVD, as it is one of the most important items in my vast video collection.

Product Description

Winston Churchill called it "The Greatest Battle of World War II" and he was probably right. Now it is 60 years past and few of the "Veterans of The Battle of The Bulge" remain to tell the story. Some cannot tell the story because the pain is too great. Others manage the pain, urging themselves to tell this heroic story for posterity. It was the last great effort by Hitler's war machine to stop the Allied advance into the Fatherland and push them back to the sea. Just a few days before Christmas, 1944, in the American Sector of the Ardennes Forest, the Nazi Army launched its attack. It was one of the coldest winters on record. Snow was two feet deep with drifts five feet deep. The ensuing weeks were among the deadliest of the entire war for both sides. The National Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge organized in 1981 and now has more than 50 chapters in the United States and Europe. Mr. Buch, a former president of the Picatinny Chapter in New Jersey, encouraged fellow veterans to sit for interviews of their most vivid memories of Christmas, that year. The resulting one-hour video is now available on DVD. Bonus footage of 'home movie' reels shot mostly by Mr. Buch in training and at war in Europe is included on the DVD. One reel depicts a newly libertated concentration camp. There is a stark contrast between the old veterans telling their memories and the young soldiers captured on film in the 1940's. This is an informative and educational film experience.
