Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5
March 25, 2008

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three arrives on DVD on April 29th in a ten-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here). Here's a look at what's on the fifth disc, supplemental material for Winds of Change.

[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]The Best Intentions: The Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles (0:33:15) In May 1919, six months after the end of the Great War in Europe, a French train departed from Berlin, carrying the German delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. The victors decided to meet in Paris to begin the daunting task of rebuilding the world and making a lasting peace settlement with Germany. In a clash of personalities and agendas, facing unimaginable circumstances, the world's leaders met for six months to try to deliver that promise. But just a few years later, their plan for peace would unravel, catapulting the world toward the very tragedy they had wanted to prevent... Was it their fault? Or was it inevitable? Produced and Written by Greg Sirota

[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]Woodrow Wilson: American Idealist (0:28:41) In 1913, 56 year old Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated President of the United States. He came to the job with little practical experience. Still, he arrived in Washington confident, determined to change America. Just over a year after he assumed office, World War I swept across Europe, and Wilson became committed to not just changing the United States, but to changing the world. Although Wilson didn't live long enough to see his dream of lasting international cooperation become reality, decades after his death, in the somber aftermath of World War II, his ideals once again took center stage. Produced and Written by Adam Sternberg

[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]Gertrude Bell: Iraq's Uncrowned Queen (0:33:07) On March 20, 2003, the United States invaded Iraq. Saddam Hussein, the dictator who'd controlled this nation for nearly 25 years was deposed. Many Iraqis celebrated this turning point. However, before long the troops the Iraqis had greeted as liberators were viewed as occupiers. This wasn't the first time these scenes had played out on the streets of Baghdad. In the aftermath of World War I, the British faced nearly the same situation when they took control. One of those challenged was a fiercely independent archaeologist, map-maker and intelligence officer who'd come to know the region as few westerners had. Her name was Gertrude Bell. Produced and Written by Adam Sternberg

[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]Ho Chi Minh: The Price of Freedom (0:31:01) In the summer of 1966, the United States found itself in a war it couldn't win, against an enemy it didn't understand. For the Americans, it was a war against Communism. But for the Vietnamese, it was a war to break free from centuries of foreign oppression. At this pivotal moment in their history, they were led by one man who would stop at nothing to free his people. They called him Uncle Ho. To the rest of the world, he was Ho Chi Minh. Millions of Vietnamese would pay the price for Ho Chi Minh's vision of a free Vietnam. A vision that was as bold as it was unbreakable. Produced by Karena O'Riordan. Written by Karena O'Riordan and Mike Welt

[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]Paul Robeson: Scandalize My Name (0:32:31) Paul Robeson was great at everything he did. And he did a lot: an acclaimed singer, actor, all-American football player, Ivy-league educated lawyer, prize-winning orator. Robeson spoke over a dozen languages in a bass-baritone voice that moved people. But when Robeson used that voice to disagree with the political establishment, people turned on him. Produced and Written by Karena O'Riordan



[ Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 5 ]Robert Goddard: Mr. Rocket Science (0:31:34) Since our ancestors first stood on two legs, we've looked up at the universe with wonder. And we've been lighting up the night sky since the Chinese first invented rockets some 2000 years ago. In the early 1900s, American inventor Robert Goddard brought space and rockets together -- and launched a new era in human history. Produced and Written by Sharon Wood
