Program:

“Wish You Were Here: Postcards from Somewhere Else” (8 min)

Greetings from some of the world’s most famous and not-so-famous sites.

“El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead)”  (14 min)

Once a year, at the beginning of November, Mexico celebrates one of its most joyous holidays, when those who have died return to earth for a brief time to rejoin the living.  Altars are built in homes, churches, and public squares, to welcome the dead with offerings of food and favorite mementos. The celebration culminates in an all-night vigil at the cemetery with food, drink, candles and stories to honor and keep alive the memory of the departed souls.

“The Lost Temples of Angkor” (26 min)
A thousand years ago the great Khmer civilization arose in the jungles of Cambodia and came to dominate all of Southeast Asia. The magnificent architecture and exquisite sculpture of its temples illustrate the myths, religions and history of this remarkable culture. The ruins are now a World Heritage Site, and include Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world.

“The City Quakes: The San Francisco Earthquakes of 1906 and 1989”  (26 min)
The San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 was the worst natural disaster in American history and the first to spark a worldwide media frenzy. This show features rare images never before seen in 3-D, as well as dramatic stereo photos of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.
