National Geographic: World's Most Dangerous Drug
National Geographic
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007
Quality Documentary.
This was a very educational production with considerable first hand footage and field reporting. That's what we expect from National Geographic and that's what we get here. The photo comparisons of the premature aging of meth users--"Faces of Meth"--was as depressing ...

Breathtaking!
I was fortunate enough to watch this wonderful documentary on the National Geographic Channel and it stole my heart. They aired it again a couple of months later and I was ecstatic! I've wanted to own this work of art and finally received it as a gift last week. It ...

National Geographic's Strange Days on Planet Earth
National Geographic
National Geographic Video, 2005
Excellent and enjoyable series on our small and fragile planet
Strange Days is so well put together, and Edward Norton is a powerful narrator. I show at least one of the four episodes in classes that I teach. Students from Middle School to Grad School enjoy it equally. Episode 2: The One Degree Factor is my favorite documentary ...

National Geographic
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007
If you are looking for God, come to Jerusalem!!!
There's a saying: "If you need water, you build an aqueduct. If you are looking for God, you come to Jerusalem." Jerusalem means "City of Peace." But as a focal point of three major world religions, and home to some of those faiths' holiest sites, Jerusalem has ...

Stress: Portrait of a Killer
National Geographic
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008
Stress Is Like Ice Cream.............
So, how is stress like ice cream? Well, a little now and then is ok, a triple serving may only make you temporarily sick, but "all you can eat" might kill you!
I've followed Robert Sapolsky's work for 10+ years and he definitely is the #1 expert on the effects of ...

National Geographic - Volcano!
National Geographic
National Geographic Video, 2003
Real Toasted Coast!
This is one of NGs better productions - partially because the subject itself is so fascinating - partially because of the spectacular footage of the eruptions of Mt Unzen (Japan) and the famous blast at Mt Pinatubo some years ago. Overall, the program gives a good ...

National Geographic - Diamonds of War: Africa's Blood Diamonds
National Geographic, Blood Diamond
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007
A(nother) Tragedy in Africa
Let me admit that I have not seen DiCaprio's film "Blood Diamond." Like many documentaries produced after films, I think this one was intended for people who want to learn more facts after seeing a fictional portrayal.
The point of this work is to show that even if ...

Secret Yellowstone
National Geographic
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007
Have seen this on TV
Having seen this on TV and having a good friend that does tours in Yellowstone, I ordered it as a gift for her, nothing like being able to impress a tour group with information about areas of the Park they will never see. Yellowstone is the oldest and grandest park ...

National Geographic: Predators at War

what im looking for
This was a very informational movie that depicted real life situations for the animals targeted in the film. There was no sugar coating and everything was real. Many of the animal videos and shows that come out are boring with repetitive information and are often quite ...

National Geographic - Sky Monsters
National Geographic
Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2006
I saw it on TV and bought it to keep
Generally excellent but somewhat disjointed documentary that reviews the various pterosaurs and documents a group of paleontologists and engineers as they attempt to design a flying replica based on the latest findings.
The pterosaur paleontology bits are good and ...
