Trust Me (DVD)
After the horrific acts of terrorism that occurred on September 11, 2001, people around the world, and certainly in the United States, tried to find ways to bridge the gap in understanding and tolerance among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The Reverend Peter Parish, director of the Elk Shoals United Methodist Camp in North Carolina, thought that educating children would be a good place to begin, and brought to the camp a group of thirty-two young boys of different faiths to learn about each other and have fun. Filmmaker Rob Fruchtman saw that the importance of such an event lay not just in its occurrence, but also in it's dissemination. The result, TRUST ME, documents not only a traditional summer camp experience, but the hope of healing.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Featurette - 1.Making Of TrailerInteractive Features: WeblinksText/Photo Galleries: Cast& Crew Biographies

The Fairy Faith (DVD)
A Canadian documentary that is ostensibly about the ancient Irish and Scottish fairy myths and those who still believe in them, THE FAIRY FAITH is also a touching look at a culture that is outdated, yet still survives amid more modern beliefs. Filmed mostly in Ireland and Scotland, director John Walker roams the countryside interviewing everyone from university scholars to older folks who claim that to have had encounters with fairies as well as reminiscing about his grandmother, who use to regale him with tales of the roguish little creatures. Ending up in Nova Scotia to examine how the remnants of this culture have survived in North America, Mr. Walker provides an insightful look not only at his one of his ancestor's most beloved legends, but also an entire culture that is slowly disappearing.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusDVD-ROM Features: Weblink
