DVD 940.45 NAZ - Nazi attack on America (PBS) 2015

Now, famed undersea explorer Bob Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, investi-gates the wreck of one of the attack craft, a German submarine that lies at the bottom of the gulf just a few miles off New Orleans…Excellent...Combination of World War II and modern forensic engineering.”

“This is a well performed look at mental illness in 5 tales. The first tale involves Lucy (Brittany Snow) a law student who battles schizophrenia. The second tale is about a woman with bipolar disorder who is an embarrassment to her child (Sarah Hyland) growing up. The third story intersects with the first one as Allison (Sofia Vassilieva) must face her mentally ill sister. The fourth tale concerns Eddie (Mitch Rouse), a comedian who is clinically depressed. The fifth story takes us the full circle of tear jerking hope as a PTSD victim (Jennifer Hudson) needs an attorney to help her gain custody of her child and get the help she needs...My students are shown this film in relationship to their study of psychological disorders. This film stimulates discussion and provides opportunity for non-judgmental comments.”

“Historical, supernatural and modern New York all collide in this

well-researched and highly intriguing novel...rich with humor, ghosts, art,

the people they want to become...A can’t-put-down story.”
