A Cemetery Special
DVD
A Cemetery Special is a not-spooky documentary that celebrates American cemeteries as unusual places full of history, art, architecture and surprises of many sorts. Cemeteries are of course where we bury the dead, where we mark their grave with monuments and markers of many sorts, but also where we go to remember people we have loved, admired, or learned about over the years.

Shore Things
DVD
People love going to the beach for lots of different reasons. The sun. The sand. The salt-water taffy. In this slightly wacky documentary, we consider all kinds of things that draw people to the coast: board walks, seafood, lifeguards, even metal-detectors and roller skates. From Nantucket to Venice Beach, people relax and bounce in the waves. From the Outer Banks to Oahu, beachgoers bring along their fishing gear and hope to catch some dinner. |
Great Old Amusement Parks
DVD
On a hot summer day, there may be no better place on earth than a traditional amusement park. A place where you can hop on a classic wooden coaster, reach for the ring as you whirl by on the merry-go-round, or cool down on the Caterpillar. Visit some of America's most charming parks, from Lake Compounce in Connecticut to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California and many in between.

Flea markets across America are extraordinary gathering spots.

Sandwiches That You Will Like
It's America between two slices of bread! It's a fast-cut, slightly goofy celebration of some great sandwiches at some very interesting places from Pennsylvania to California. Even when much of America seems "all the same," you can still find some distinctive, delicious differences in lots of cities, and this documentary takes you to some outstanding eateries where lobster rolls are amazing, where falafel is fabulous, and where peanut-butter-and-jelly is always at the top of the menu.
The book is a beefy and tasty volume that explains the origin of the sandwich and its arrival in America. It includes over 75 stories and recipes.
