THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 1994. 1/2" VHS. 50 min. each. (6 Parts)
Pt. 1. THE CONFLICT IGNITES.  SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 1
The American Colonists' loyalty to the Crown eroded slowly throughout the 18th century. As the distant Parliament began to levy taxes on the burgeoning Colonies, the cause of independence gained strength, and devotion to the Crown dwindled. The spiraling tensions festered in 1773. The Townsend Act led to the Boston Tea Party, the Tea Party led to the Intolerable Acts, and the British tried to re-assert absolute control over the Colonies. The first shot of the American Revolution was fired on April 19, 1775 with the dramatic outbreak of war at Lexington and Concord.
Pt. 2. 1776.   SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 2
The sparks of rebellion became the flame of Revolution, and the basis for the first true democracy in the modern world was laid out with the words "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and a nation began to emerge amidst disheartening setbacks. George Washington took command of the fledgling Continental Army but was routed out of New York State by the British Army of William Howe.
Pt. 3. WASHINGTON AND ARNOLD.
SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 3
Unknown soldiers fight wars, but they are won or lost by their commanders. On the British side there was Burgoyne and Howe; the Colonists had George Washington and a still-loyal Benedict Arnold. Early battles included Burgoyne's Hudson campaign and Washington's crossing of the Delaware. As war raged across the American wilderness, Benjamin Franklin struggled to gain recognition for the infant nation. His dramatic mission before the French court is highlighted.
Pt. 4. THE WORLD AT WAR.
SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 4
France's resolve not to lay down arms until American independence was achieved prompted Spain to declare war on Britain. But the new international support was overshadowed by the long winter at Valley Forge, where the Prussian General Baron Von Steuben relentlessly drilled the Colonial Army. From Valley Forge, Washington led his newly trained army into battle against the British at Monmouth. At the same time, John Sullivan and George Rogers Clark fought against Loyalists and Indians on the western front. The mutiny at Morristown is also examined.
Pt. 5. ENGLAND'S LAST CHANCE.
SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 5
Benedict Arnold was exposed as a traitor in 1780, but a new hero of the seas, John Paul Jones, took his place. On the British side, Sir Henry Clinton captured 5,000 men at the siege of Charleston. As the conflict moved north, the Americans perfected a new style of fighting: guerilla warfare. The American commander Nathaniel Greene forced Britain's Lord Cornwallis to retreat into Virginia, while Daniel Morgan led a company of men to victory in the Battle of the Cowpens. The American generals beat the British back from all but two ports in the South.
Pt. 6. BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC.
SEK 973.3 Am35 pt. 6
The British General Cornwallis isolated himself on the Yorktown Peninsula in Virginia, while French forces on land and sea tightened the noose around his remaining troops. On October 19, 1781, he surrendered to Washington, and the Revolutionary War ended. But the struggle to form a new nation had just begun. The Treaty of Paris secured American independence. At the Constitutional Convention, Madison and others struggled to put into words the framework for a new form of government. The film ends with a look at what happened to some of the heroes of the War of Independence in the years that followed.

AMERICAN VISIONS. Narrated by Robert Hughes. 1997. 1/2" VHS. 60 min. each. (8 Parts)
Pt. 1: THE REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 1
Some of the first images made in America resemble ancient ones. Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers feel that classicism lends the young nation power and authority. From heroic statues of George Washington to the architecture of Washington, D.C., the new republic adopts and transforms the classical style to serve a new, democratic ideal.
Pt. 2: THE PROMISED LAND. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 2
Before there is an American, disparate bands of settlers strive to carve out an identity in a virgin land. In the West, Spanish missions use art to convert the natives to Catholicism. In the East, plain Protestant settlers are suspicious of art's pleasures. And in Virginia, an exiled aristocracy recreates its ideal of England. Early portraits of these settlers ask us to consider the emergence of this new person, this American.
Pt. 3: THE WILDERNESS AND THE WEST. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 3
From the majestic primal America, there arises the idea of landscape as God's fingerprint. Landscape painting holds deep religious and patriotic connotations; soon, the belief in Manifest Destiny is embodied in art. Traveling from Yellowstone to the Hudson Valley, Hughes explores the artists Albert Bierstadt, John James Audubon, Frederic Church, Frederic Remington and Thomas Cole. In their work he finds the conflicting impulses to worship the land and to conquer it, to create a myth of the West just as the frontier itself is closing.
Pt. 4: THE GILDED AGE. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 4
The many sides of America in the 19th century: the extravagant "cottages" of Newport's tycoons, the triumph of the Brooklyn Bridge, the haunting realism of Civil War photography, the elegant portraits of John Singer Sargent, the American Impressionism of James Whistler and Mary Cassatt. Together with a new breed of distinctly American artists like Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer, they mirror widely different experiences of the American Dream.
Pt. 5: A WAVE FROM THE ATLANTIC. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 5
Waves of immigrants in the early 20th century bring both their old culture and a thirst for the new. Their tenements are documented by photographer Jacob Riis and the socially conscious Ashcan School. Then, after the historic 1913 Armory Show, artists like Joseph Stella, Paul Strand, Alfred Steiglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe forge a modernism that is uniquely American. Some celebrate the industrial sublime. Yet nature is the inspiration that leads Frank Lloyd Wright to develop an organic architecture at the heart of modern design.
Pt. 6: STREAMLINES AND BREADLINES. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 6
The mythic images of the 1920's and 30's are as urban as the skyscrapers rising up in New York and as rural as the heartland idealized by Regionalists like Thomas Hart Benton. Isamu Noguchi, Lewis Hine and the artists of the WPA celebrate the worker as hero, Jacob Lawrence tells stories of black America, and ambitious New Deal projects like Hoover Dam project self-confidence in hard times. Which is the real modern America--the isolation painted by Edward Hopper, or the jazzy vitality captured by Stuart Davis?
Pt. 7: THE EMPIRE OF SIGNS. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 7
In the post-war era, America's power is unrivaled, and its artists make an explosive break with the past. Hughes considers the impact of Hiroshima on art, traces the development of abstract expressionism and the life of Jackson Pollack, and explores how artists as different as James Rosenquist, Claes Oldenburg, Joseph Cornell, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns reacted to the new consumer culture. We end with the nation on the eve of divisive conflicts, as media images begin to overwhelm anything created by artists.
Pt. 8: THE AGE OF ANXIETY. SEK 709.73 Am35p pt. 8
This final program explores how American art has reflected the upheavals of the last 25 years. Hughes traces the evolution of abstract art and minimalism and considers the spiritual richness of earth works, in which nature is the artist's medium. He ends the series by profiling a wide range of contemporary artists. Using a diversity of mediums and approaches, Richard Serra, Susan Rothenberg, James Turrell and others continue to capture uniquely American visions.

Political problems in Rome and the death of his wife force Antony to leave his life of pleasure and return home. Back in Rome, he marries Octavius' sister Octavia for political reasons. But Antony soon returns to Cleopatra and Octavius then prepares for war against him. Antony decides unwisely to fight Octavius at sea. During the battle, Cleopatra's fleet deserts him, and Antony flees with the queen. After Cleopatra's ships desert him in a second battle, Antony finally realizes that he has lost everything. Cleopatra deceives him into thinking that she is dead, and Antony stabs himself. But before he dies, he learns that Cleopatra is still alive. Antony then returns to her and dies in her arms. Cleopatra dresses herself in her royal robes, presses a poisonous snake to her breast, and dies of its bite.

BODY ATLAS. 1994. 1/2" VHS. 25 min. each. (13 Volumes)
V. 1: IN THE WOMB. SEK 611 B632 v. 1
From a single fertilized cell, barely visible to the unaided eye, the program follows the growth of the embryo as its head and heart develop. With the first bones, at nine weeks, we see the embryo becomes a fetus. When nine months have passed, its time for the most dangerous journey in life; the four-inch journey down the birth canal.
V. 2: GLANDS AND HORMONES. SEK 611 B632 v. 2
Day and night, there's a clock ticking within our bodies. This clock is driven by chemicals in our blood-stream – the body's hormones. The hormones are made by half a dozen glands scattered throughout the body. Hormones provide the unseen balance within our bodies that keeps all our systems in harmony.
V. 3: MUSCLE AND BONE. SEK 611 B632 v. 3
The human body contains over 200 moving parts – our bones – operated by more than 600 motors – the muscles. Bone is one of the strongest and lightest materials we know. Blood vessels thread through the apparently solid bone, and cells inside our ribs manufacture our
new blood cells. Between the bones are self-lubricating and incredibly tough joints. They pivot the bones as they move under the influence of the muscles.
V. 4: BREATH OF LIFE. SEK 611 B632 v. 4
During the average lifetime, 13 million cubic feet of air passes through our lungs. The oxygen within the air provides us with energy, as it reacts with sugar within our cells. First, the air is moistened in the nose to filter our pollutants. It is passed down to the lungs, through air passages that split over and over again, ending up in 700 million tiny air sacs. Here, oxygen passes into the blood, while the waste product, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the lungs, to be breathed out.
V. 5. SKIN. SEK 611 B632 v. 5
The skin produces pigments that protect against the sun's ultraviolet rays. It also keeps our temperature constant. Subcutaneous fat holds in our warmth in cold weather, while sweat glands cool us when it becomes too hot. Each square inch of skin contains 9 feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors and 134 yards of nerves. It also has 30 hairs – an outgrowth of skin that helps protect our bodies. Fingernails and toenails, too, are just a specialized kind of skin.
V. 6. THE FOOD MACHINE. SEK 611 B632 v. 6
Digestion begins in the mouth, as teeth--the hardest substance in the body--tear and grind up food. The stomach takes over, with a chemical attack that breaks down more of the foodstuffs. It has a special lining that prevents the acid from digesting the stomach itself. The food is here for 2 to 6 hours, churning away without our noticing. Meanwhile, the kidneys are keeping a check on the water in our bodies. Each contains a million tiny filters, and all the blood in the body passes through them every 5 minutes. As the food passes from the stomach to the small intestine, bile attacks the fats and other ingredients that have survived so far. Microscopic cilia start to absorb the nutrients, and they are carried to the body's liver, to be processed into the substances we need for energy or to build up our bodies.
V. 7: TASTE AND SMELL. SEK 611 B632 v. 7
The actual taste buds in the tongue can distinguish only four different tastes. We can distinguish literally thousands of different smells, using nerve cells in the back of the nose that can detect just a few molecules of an odor. These receptors are renewed at least one a month--the only nerve cells to be replaced. They are wired directly into the lowest levels of the brain, without passing through the parts of the brain involved in thought. That's why smell arouses emotions instantly, and revives memories we may have long forgotten.
V. 8: VISUAL REALITY. SEK 611 B632 v. 8
The eyes, like a camera, have lenses for focusing, an iris to control the amount of light and a sensitive screen--the retina. The retina has cells that are so sensitive they can pick up only one or two particles of light, and others that can discriminate thousands of different colors and hues. Since the retina itself is part of the brain, it starts to analyze the images before the brain takes over. Between them, they correct false colors, distortions where blood vessels cross the retina, a whole blank at the "blind spot" where nerves leave the retina, and smooth over blinks so we are not even aware any information is missing.
V. 9. DEFEND AND REPAIR. SEK 611 B632 v. 9
The first layer of defense is the skin. It keeps out fungus spores, yeast and bacteria. Sometimes bacteria penetrate the skin's defenses--white blood cells spring into action, swallowing the invaders. Smaller attackers, the viruses, are harder to destroy. They commandeer the cells' own apparatus to reproduce themselves. The blood's line of defense is a host of antibodies, each tailored to fight a particular virus. As soon as a virus is detected, the body steps up production of the particular type of defender needed to defeat the intruding virus.
V. 10. SEX. SEK 611 B632 v. 10
Human reproduction needs two parents to shuffle the pack of inherited characteristics, the genes, so the young are not identical to their parents. The woman has only a few hundred thousand egg cells, which have been in her since birth. When her body matures, one egg cell is released from an ovary each month. The man's contribution comes from the testes, which produce millions of sperm each day. These tiny cells have whip-like tails that propel them at Olympic speeds and only one is successful. Mixing its genes with the genes in the egg, a new individual is created.
V. 11. THE HUMAN PUMP. SEK 611 B632 v. 11
Blood is the essential transport system of the body. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells and takes away carbon dioxide; it supplies food to all parts of the body and takes away waste for excretion by the kidneys; it transports the chemical messengers, our hormones, and the body's defender, the white blood cells and the antibodies. Pumping the blood round this system in less than a minute is the work of the heart. The heart is a special kind of muscle, unique in the body. Tough fibers and flaps within the heart make valves, which ensure the blood never flows backwards against the immense pressures the heart creates.
V. 12. NOW HEAR THIS SEK 611 B632 v. 12
The ears are our link with the world of sound. The ears contain tiny tubes that control our sense of balance. It is possible to live a fairly normal life when deaf, but without a sense of balance it would be impossible to move.
V. 13. THE BRAIN SEK 611 B632 v. 13
Humans have a lover brain that controls our reflexes, including breathing, without our thinking about it. But the higher parts of the brain allow us to think, calculate and aspire. This is the job of the gray matter (or cortex). The brain is split into two halves. Although they look the same, each side thinks differently. One hemisphere specializes in tasks that require coordination and ability to place things correctly; the other is better at performing abstract tasks such as math.
