Destination America (Widescreen) : Their faces have changed, not their reasons: in flight from poverty, persecution and war, they are drawn by the shimmering promise of America. "Destination America" looks at the driving forces that have compelled individuals to immigrate to America for centuries and have remained constant throughout history - economic opportunity, religious freedom and artistic expression. As well, the series looks at the particular forces that drive women to come to America in search of opportunity and the basic human rights they had been denied in their homelands. Dramatic contemporary stories are the centerpiece of each episode along with historic portraits of immigrants who came before. From award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, "Destination America" focuses on the world the immigrants left behind, the roots that defined them, and the frustrations, hardships, discontents and ambitions that made and continues to make America their destination. From the time the US government began keeping official records in 1820, more than 70 millions people have immigrated to the United States. The migration began as a ...
Coming To America: I Love The 80s Edition (Widescreen) : "Coming to America" casts comedian Eddie Murphy as pampered African prince Akeem, who rebels against an arranged marriage and heads to America to find a new bride. Murphy's regal father (James Earl Jones) agrees to allow the prince 40 days to roam the U.S., sending the prince's faithful retainer Semmi (Arsenio Hall) along to make sure nothing untoward happens. To avoid fortune hunters, Prince Akeem conceals his true identity and gets a "Joe job" at a fast-food restaurant. Murphy and Hall play multiple roles, and there are innumerable celebrity cameos peppered throughout the proceedings - including the Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) from "Trading Places". "Coming to America" made further headlines when humorist Art Buchwald sued the film's producers for plagiarizing one of his works. Buchwald carried the case to trial, where he won a sizeable judgement against the film's producers.

Crips and Bloods: Made in America (Full Frame) : A cluster of neighborhoods lies in the heart of Southern California, streets and boulevards forming a grid between concrete ribbons of freeway. Surrounded by the California Dream, this region has a legacy. Nearly a quarter of its young men will end up in prison. Many others will end up dead. These neighborhoods in South Los Angeles are home to two of America's most infamous African-American gangs, the Crips and the Bloods. On these streets over the past 30 years, more than 15,000 people have been murdered in an ongoing cycle of gang violence that continues unabated. It was here, just a few miles from the gated communities and sprawling mansions of Beverly Hills, where America's most bloody and costly outbreaks of civil unrest erupted - not once, but twice, 27 years and just three miles apart. Acclaimed director Stacy Peralta ("Dogtown" and "Z Boys") examines the story of South Los Angeles and the gangs that inhabit it. Narrated by Academy Award(R) winner Forest Whitaker and produced by NBA superstar Baron Davis, "Crips And Bloods: Made In America" blends gripping archival footage with in-dep...
