| Pennsylvania Journey More on DVD Version | Peirce Lewis, Penn State professor of geography and president of the Association of American Geographers, hosts a journey through the commonwealth's geographic space and historic time -- from Philadelphia in 1682 to Pittsburgh in 1983. The trip emphasizes the diversity of the state, visiting a classic farm and a market town in the Piedmont, a beehive coke oven near Mount Pleasant, Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, the mountains of the central and northern regions, and a countryside ravaged by mining. Produced by Penn State Television / WPSX-TV. |
| Chenchus Children of the Forest More on DVD Version | The Chenchus are a Telugu speaking food-gathering tribe living in the Nallamalai forests of Andhra Pradesh in India spread over the districts of Mahaboobnagar, Kurnool, Prakasam and Guntur. They are a conservative tribal group and have not made many changes in their lifestyle or tried to adapt to modernity. They live in the enclosed space and geography, leading a life of an unbroken continuity. Centuries of life in the forest have deprived the Chenchus of an ability to adapt easily to modern life. Though some of their children are sent to government schools, there are very few instances of educated Chenchus finding their way into mainstream modern society. This film shows the Chenchus struggling to adapt to new patterns of life as the forest resources dwindle with time. |
