  • FOOTPRINTS in the SANDS of TIME Ewer Parents Are Passing on Their Family History to Their Children
    PRICELESS ISSUE NO. 46 JUNE/JULY 06 published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club FOOTPRINTS IN THE SANDS OF TIME ewer parents are passing on their family history to their children. Gone are Fthe days when extended families were intertwined. The needs that brought people together in order to thrive no longer exist. It has cost generations the opportunity to learn of the past, understand the present and build a better future. The Peterstown section of Elizabeth, New Jersey has been traditionally made up of the descendants of Italian immigrants who arrived in the early 1900's and settled to form a close knit community. The first generation immigrants worked together, worshiped together and helped each other. Marriages between the different families in the community combined the positive traits that both had to offer. The new generation of Italian-Americans was a hi-bred culture that enjoyed the richness of the culture their parents brought with them from Italy and the opportunity that America offered. Parents taught their children about their grandparents. In many cases grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins were involved in each other's lives. They physically lived in the same neighborhood, worked side-by-side at their jobs and met socially in their leisure time. The important lesson was that, by working together, the family overcame the obstacles of being a stranger in a strange land. The classrooms were the kitchen table and the lessons were passed down orally. Old photographs and artifacts took the place of textbooks. The sad reality is that oral history disappears if it is not carried on.

  • In the Shadow of the Moon 2007 PG 109 Minutes David Sington And
    In the Shadow of the Moon 2007 PG 109 minutes David Sington and Christopher Riley's acclaimed documentary reveals the history of the Apollo space program through interviews with the brave astronauts who lived through a paradigm-shifting chapter in world history. Devoted to President John F. Kennedy's goal of sending a man to the moon, the NASA project pushed the envelope of what was humanly possible. But the program also experienced several failures, one of which resulted in tragedy. Man on Wire 2008 PG-13 94 minutes Philippe Petit captured the world's attention in 1974 when he successfully walked across a high wire between New York's Twin Towers. This Oscar winner for Best Documentary explores the preparations that went into the stunt as well as the event and its aftermath. Obsessed with the towers even before they were fully constructed, Petit sneaked into the buildings several times to determine the equipment he needed to accomplish his daring feat. American Experience: Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple 2006 NR 86 minutes How could one man -- Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones -- persuade 900 people to commit mass suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in the jungles of Guyana? This penetrating portrait of the demented preacher attempts to answer that question. Using never- before-seen footage and audio accounts of two Jonestown survivors, documentarian Stanley Nelson paints a chilling picture of a social experiment gone horribly awry. When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts 2006 TV-MA 3 discs Spike Lee commemorates the people of New Orleans with a four-hour epic documentary that not only recounts the events of late August 2005 but asks why they unfolded the way they did in the first place.
