ABC News, Nightline: The Hajj - One American's Pilgrimage to Mecca : Each night, the ABC News team bears witness to reality as it occurs throughout the world. This DVD is yet another episode in the continuing TV institution known as "Nightline". For over 1,400 years, Muslims have been making their holy pilgrimage to the sacred site of Mecca. In modern times, approximately two million Muslims make the pilgrimage - or Hajj - to Mecca each year, a trip required of the faithful at least once in every Muslim's lifetime. Muslims from all over the world come together there, bereft of any outside identity save that of their shared faith. As the place where the prophet Muhammad received the verses of the Koran, Mecca is a place of great spirituality and tradition. Non-Muslims are forbidden entry to Mecca, and it is, therefore, a place that few Americans will ever get to see. But in this special broadcast that aired during the last month of the Islamic year, when the Hajj is traditionally made, writer Michael Wolfe documents his trip to Islam's holiest shrine for ABC News "Nightline". One of the more than five million Muslims in the United States, Wolfe is a convert, b...

Kennedy and the Unknown Soldiers to polar explorers, Peary and Henson, and some 3,000 freed slaves, Arlington is the final resting place for both the famous and obscure. Arlington is at once a somber and inspiring place to visit, where grief is tempered with awe. This moving program takes a privileged look at Arlington's proud history and the intense daily rituals of the burial teams and honor guards, and recounts the real-life stories of the heroes and heroines buried at this place of pilgrimage.
