This Land Is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie (1997)
Songs that live in the American heart can now be enjoyed by a new generation in "This Land Is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie", a wonderful and imaginative music video program consisting of Guthrie's irresistible songs for kids of all ages. With superb animation that makes each song's story come alive, and featuring the voices of Woody Guthrie and his son Arlo, it's a songbook to see and share again and again. We think you'll agree it's good ― downright great ― to know songs like these.

The Fight for Life (1940)
The Fight for Life was documentary filmmaker Pare Lorentz' first "dramatic" film, utilizing the talents of several top New York stage actors. A tribute to the Chicago Maternity Center and its efforts to provide the best possible care for destitute mothers, the film is based on the book of the same name by Paul de Kruif. Myron McCormick plays the largest role as a dedicated intern, while others in the cast include such theatrical heavywrights as Will Geer, Dudley Digges and Dorothy Adams. The film's many vignettes range from the tragic (a mother dying in childbirth in the opening scene) to the exultant (another mother rescued from the brink of death in a disease-ridden tenement). Filmed in Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland, Fight for Life is a worthwhile effort, though Lorentz seems more comfortable with the "actuality" scenes than with the dramatized passages.

Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry: Red River Blues 1948-1974 (2003)
For some 30 years, they embodied "country blues" for folk music audiences around the globe. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee were once ubiquitous, and as such tended to be taken for granted in the halcyon days of the 1960s blues rediscoveries. But nearly two decades have passed since the perennial team parted, and the 16 performances here remind us of this superb duo's complementary strengths.

Down the Tracks: The Music That Influenced Bob Dylan (2008)
This fascinating program tells the story of the music and artists that have influenced Bob Dylan throughout his career. Although his reputation as a songwriter stands supreme, Dylan has often covered tracks from vintage blues, folk and country performers or incorporated elements from them into his own material. "Down The Tracks" explores the lives and work of many of these artists and how Dylan interacted with them through archive performance and interview footage alongside new interviews and documentary material.
