This documentary features footage from three of the earliest known recorded interviews of Obama including 1993 15-minute “lost” interview that has never been aired. Also featured are rare personal photos and interviews with business leaders and grassroots organizers who worked with Obama in Chicago.
  
The soundtrack consists of 15 songs and a generous, thought-provoking array of sound bite interludes, the CD is more than a soundtrack – it's an audio souvenir that brings the documentary to life before your very ears. As described by music journalist A. Scott Galloway.

The Brooklyn Dodgers: An American Treasure DVD

Big Time Swing DVD

The beloved "Boys of Summer" are back in this trademark film...Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella,
Don Newcomb, Gil Hodges, Johnny Podres, Carl Furillo and Duke Snider are just some members of
one of the most beloved teams in all sports. Owned by Walter O'Malley, as reviled in Brooklyn as he
was loved in Los Angeles, the Dodgers appeared in 9 World Series while in Brooklyn, finally winning
their only World Championship in 1955 by beating the hated Yankees. Known for their propensity to
lose the pennant on the last day of the season, including by "the shot heard around the world" in
1951, the Dodgers also created one of the most meaningful events of 20th Century America in 1947
when Branch Rickey broke the color barrier in professional sports by signing Jackie Robinson. Live
the history of the legendary "Bums" from Brooklyn from their beginnings in the 1880's through the sad
day they left Brooklyn forever in 1957.

  
Distinguished primarily by a strong rhythm section, Swing solidified as a distinctive style in the U.S. during the mid-1930's and continues to be popular today. Featured are performances by Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Harry James, Mills Brothers, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Count Basie and more. All performances have been digitally restored for optimum picture and sound quality.

This film features segments on both these immortal Hall of Famers, who were not only ball players, but great men as well.

Dionyza: Quite Like Me CD
The daughter of singer/songwriters Michael and Brenda Sutton, Dionyza has some family history to live up to! She brings things full circle nicely on this track ìI Told Myself which features a sample, best known to most as the one Kanye West used on his track for Jay-Z & Scarface ìGuess Whoís Back.î However that sample was taken from a song originally written by Dionyzaís parents, Sunrise and was recorded backin the 70s by The Originals.

Angie Whitney : "That's What Love Is All About"
Every song has a story. Donít Tease Me shows off a cool sax solo and features strings and 3 part harmony.
ìLove Me By Nameî is a dramatic ballad. When youíre young you makestupid mistakes and as you get older you just want someone to love you.The song was written by Leslie Gore who wrote It ís My Party.
  
Michael B. Sutton "Hopeless Romantic"
Sutton weaves a bewitching spell, making it utterly impossible for you to press Pause or Stop until his skillfully sequenced audio passion play has come to its natural conclusion. This is the sign of a musical master - a gentlegenius who has overcome crippling personal hardship to slow cook a feast for the loving and the lustful that will sate their appetites for many a bliss-filled night to come.
