&quot;Sound of the Soul&quot; also celebrates the historic city of Fez, an ancient sanctuary for Muslim, Jewish and Christian inhabitants; its mystical Islamic foundations; its evocative medieval sites.  The ancient desert Mecca is the ideal location for an exceptional music festival that brings together a gospel band from Harlem, the ethereal sound of Irish vocal group Anuna, a transcendent chorus of African Berber women, a soul-wrenching Portuguese Fado singer, a French early music ensemble, and players and vocalists from Afghanistan, England, Russia, Ireland, Mauritania, and Turkey. All are intermixed with unforgettable Moroccan Sufi performers and all are connected through their artistry by profound expressions of love and faith.

In a world increasingly polarized by religious conflicts and fundamentalist forces,
&quot;Sound of the Soul&quot; reverberates with unity, understanding, and most of all, hope.  This thought-provoking documentary film vividly portrays an Arab country where people of different faiths and cultures have lived together in relative peace for centuries.

&quot;Sound of the Soul&quot; is now available to the world along with the companion CD (exclusively available through Alive Mind) &quot;The Music From Sound of the Soul&quot;  featuring ten concert performances of artists included on the DVD, such as Ireland___s Anuna, female Berber group Samaa Sahraoui from Morocco, The Sirine Choir from Russia, The Tallis Scholars of the United Kingdom, and the mighty gospel sounds of Harlem___s own, The McCullough Sounds of Thunder.

DVD extras includes a guide to world music, additional music performances, a visual tour of Fez and other Moroccan landscapes, interviews with Fez festival attendees, spiritual and political leaders on globalization and more! Sound of the Soul represents a musical treasury for world music enthusiasts and delivers a soul-restoring experience.

			<title><![CDATA[Available from Alive Mind: John Kirby's THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Alive Mind presents THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS
Now Available on DVD

A dramatic, musical, documentary satire on class in America that attempts to answer the question 'Who rules America?'  - Now Available through NeoFlix.

As whispers of the fall of capitalism grow louder and Alan Greenspan admits that free market economic theories do not account for human greed, many wonder what the answer is to the current American economic crisis: let Wall Street fall or a government bailout and regulation to avoid, at best, a world-wide recession?  THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS is a timely documentary that explores the invisible role of wealth, power and privilege in American life and politics. Part Monty Python, part Michael Moore, John Kirby's THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS  is an entertaining tour through the warrens of political, cultural and economic power that investigates who has privilege, how they acquired it, and most importantly, how they keep it. 

THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS is a morality tale set to music about two Yale students who seek their opportunities after graduation. Mike Vanzetti, an idealist and romantic decides to pursue the life of an artist rather than ___sell-out___, like his classmate Jack Bellamy, who after graduation decides that the life of an investment banker at Goldman Sachs is a guarantor of wealth, security and happiness. Lewis Lapham, the renowned essayist, author and longtime Harper___s Magazine editor, conducts them through the marble corridors of power ___ Pentagon press briefings, the World Economic Forum, philanthropic foundations, Washington law firms, banks, the Council on Foreign Relations and New York society dinners. As they make their way, the real-life luminaries they meet, such as Barbara Ehrenreich, author of &quot;Nickeled and Dimed,&quot; and the late Kurt Vonnegut become characters in a dramatic story about power, its responsibilities and privileges at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

&quot;An entertaining documentary, THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS offers a guided safari through the tribal haunts of the power elite.&quot; -James Wolcott, Vanity Fair

THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS is now available on DVD exclusively from Alive Mind, a new DVD label founded by media pioneer Richard Lorber specializing in high quality documentary programming in the areas of enlightened consciousness, secular spirituality, and cultural change. Members who sign up for Alive Mind___s newsletter will receive 15% off the purchase of THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS.

			<description><![CDATA[IFC CHANNEL TO AIR ___BAMA GIRL DOCUMENTARY
DIRECTED BY RACHEL GOSLINS AS PART OF ___CHOICE INDIES___

Doc Follows A Young African-American Woman___s Quest to Become Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama to Premiere on November 2, 2008 

New York, October 21, 2008 ___  ___BAMA GIRL will have its broadcast premier on the IFC Channel as part of the new ___Choice Indies___ partnership between IFC and B-Side Entertainment.  The deal offers IFC subscribers access to the best independent films from the festival circuit.  The film, by Washington, DC-based director Rachel Goslins follows a young African American woman___s quest to become the Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama, one of the great Deep South institutions. We follow Jessica Thomas___ struggle for the crown, as she runs against 15 other co-eds, a strictly segregated Greek system, internal black politics, and, most ominously, a secret all-white association called ___The Machine___ that has been controlling politics at the University for most of the past century. This is a film about the light and the dark sides of race and politics in the South -- and an unexpected microcosm of electoral challenges that reflect much of what is happening across our country today.  Salon.com calls it ___Entertaining and provocative___ and the Memphis Flyer says ___&quot;Director Rachel Goslins has created a charming, modestly scaled portrait of America that is hopeful, but frustrating and spooky around the edges&quot;

___Choice Indies are the public___s ticket to the best in independent films as chosen by audiences around the world, said B-Side Entertainment___s CEO Chris Hyams.  ___Airing days before Barack Obama___s historic bid for president, through the prism of a homecoming queen election, the film explores how far we___ve come and how far we have yet to go in American politics.___

___BAMA GIRL will premiere on IFC on Sunday, November 2, 2008 at 12:00 pm EST and will play throughout the month.  More information and DVDs are available at the films___ website: http://www.bamagirlfilm.com]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[THE LONG GREEN LINE premieres on DVD]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[&quot;At times moving, at times jovial, it captures the drama and camaraderie born out of a local dynasty striving to add yet another piece of hardware to its trophy case.&quot;
-- Kyle Koster, Chicago Sun Times

&quot;I believe you've captured Newton's spirit and the impact he's had on so many young people (and parents and a whole community). A very moving film.
__--Dennis Franz, Actor

THE LONG GREEN LINE 
__PREMIERES ON DVD ON OCTOBER 14

FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY STARS LEGENDARY COACH JOE NEWTON AND THE YORK HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM AS THEY VIE TO WIN THE STATE TITLE FOR THE 25th TIME IN 50 YEARS

Elmhurst, IL (September 19, 2008) Coach Joe Newton has used the sport of Cross Country to teach simple but important life lessons to high school boys for the last 50 years. &quot;Always do your best&quot;, &quot;be on time&quot; and &quot;it's nice to be great but far greater to be nice&quot; are his mantras, which have turned the Boys&quot; Cross Country team at York High School in Cross Country Town USA, Elmhurst, Illinois, into the winningest high school team in any sport in America. Newton turns boys into men, who carry his teachings with them throughout their lives. 

The Long Green Line is the feature length documentary film that follows the York Duke's 2005 Cross Country season as the runners seek their record 25th state title in 50 years. In the sport of Cross Country only the top five athletes per team score points and only seven are included in competition.  The Long Green Line will premiere in DVD on October 14.  The DVD is priced to own at $19.95.

The York team has 221 athletes participating under the tutelage of Coach Newton. Though 214 boys know they will have no influence on the season's scores, they are moved to participate just to be in the presence of Coach Newton.  

Such a large team is both a blessing and a curse.  Newton is able to spread his influence, but life lessons can go unheard when they have to trickle to so many ears. In the middle of the season, two of the star athletes are expelled from school after committing over $1 million in arson damage. The York team is forced to rebuild -- to face a true test of what they have learned both physically and mentally. 

The team is colorfully decorated with characters like the All-American Dettman Twins, the high functioning autistic with a heart of gold, John Fisher,  the out of shape former football players who reside on the lowest rung of the team, and the freshman Connor Chadwick, who has cerebral palsy but is able to run without leg braces for the first time in his life. 

The Long Green Line is not only a team, but a rite of passage.  It is a lifeline for these young runners as they move from adolescence to manhood.

The film was directed and produced by Matthew Arnold who grew up in Elmhurst.  The producer and director of photography is Brady Hallongren who also hails from Elmhurst and ran on the cross country team under Coach Newton.  The film features music from &quot;The Frantic.&quot;

SRP: $19.95
Street date:  October 14, 2008
Languages: English
Running time: 88 minutes
Presented in: Dolby Surround
Aspect ratio 1:66

			<title><![CDATA[Documentary delves into South Dakota's 2006 abortion ban vote]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[In 2006, the tiny state of South Dakota took a bold step toward overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights. 

A new documentary reveals how South Dakota's historic election continues to reverberate on both sides of the abortion wars. 

Unplanned Democracy: America's First Vote on Abortion is a journalist's look at how the emotional and volatile social issue played out in a political campaign. Viewers will see inside South Dakota's Capitol where the abortion ban found easy victory and visit South Dakota's normally quiet streets where abortion rights activists staged loud protests. 

&quot;There were a lot of conversations being held about, ___Is this the state we really want to live in? Has this state gone so far to the right that we can't ever get it back?'&quot; said one campaign organizer. 

&quot;This is not done. This issue is not over. It's simply round one,&quot; said a legislative candidate. 

What happens next in this small state in the middle of America could affect abortion laws for the whole country.

South Dakota voters will vote on another abortion ban to again in the 2008 election, and what happened in 2006 has reshaped campaigns on both sides for 2008. Both sides learned lessons and have adjusted their strategies for the next round.

Unplanned Democracy takes viewers behind the scenes, where they will learn those lessons, too. In the documentary, anti-abortion activists pin their hopes on new Supreme Court justices. Doctors on both sides argue they want to protect patients. The election turned almost entirely on the abortion ban's lack of rape, incest and health exceptions, rendering the labels &quot;pro-life&quot; and &quot;pro-choice&quot; inadequate when describing one's position on abortion. 

The film won the jury prize for Best Documentary at the 2008 South Dakota Film Festival, where it was praised by audience members for its balanced look at the controversial issue. 

South Dakota journalist Denise Ross is producing the film. Ross worked for 10 years as a reporter and editor at The Rapid City Journal, South Dakota's second largest newspaper. She covered state government and the Legislature for six years, which helped her gain access to key players on all sides of the abortion ban proposals. 

People can now purchase the DVD and find information on hosting the filmmaker at http://www.unplanneddemocracy.com/ .]]></description>
