SMP-DVD-23505 - Oregon Lighthouses The Silent SentinelsOregon lighthouses are the longest standing legacy of the state's maritime history. They have weathered more than a century of ferocious storms. Their lights continue to shine brightly, guiding mariners through treacherous waters. The men and women who tended the lights seldom received recognition for their efforts. Many times storms forced the keepers to turn the prisms by hand until the first rays of morning light when repairs could be made.Seven of Oregon's lighthouses are open to the public, thanks to the many volunteers, public agencies, Native American Indian Tribes and non-profit organizations who are preserving this heritage. We will also visit interpretive and discovery centers along the way. Our guided tour of Oregon lighthouses will give you only a glimpse into their historic past. The rest, is for you to discover.

SMP-DVD-23800 - Oregon Covered BridgesJoin us on a journey through some of Oregon 's longest standing historical landmarks.At one time Oregonhad more than 400 covered bridges. Today only a little more than 50 remain. The covered bridge blended well into the early economy of the Oregon countryside. The material for construction was close at hand, and the prevailing pioneer spirit was equal to the problems it presented. It was well known that wood, protected from the elements, would last considerably longer than that which was left in the open.The housing provides protection for the most expensive parts, like the truss, in order to make the structure last longer. Today, the pioneer spirit shows once again as individuals, local and state organizations as well as government agencies strive to protect and restore Oregon's covered bridges.

SHF-DVD-IRAQ - Inside Iraq The Untold StoriesJoin me as I travel Iraq discovering the untold stories about the lives of the Iraqi people and the US soldiers. As a freelance filmmaker, I will take you on a unique personal journey uncovering stories that go beyond the headlines and politics.Tour a children's landmine hospital Visit remote villages with medical aid workers Drop in on illegal gun markets Walk the streets of Baghdad Get a tour of an Abrams tank Meet the soldiers who are finding creative solutions Witness a fire fight with Iraqi insurgents Ride along on night patrols in search of terroristsBelow are media and university reviews for Inside Iraq: The Untold Stories. MEDIA REVIEWS Those who are strongly for or against the Iraq war won't find their positions unequivocally supported by this film. Which is what makes it worth seeing. The Portland Tribune Shiley's film is an incredible guided tour of the Iraq that has yet to be adequately portrayed in mainstream American media. The result is an emotionally complex film that provides perspective on a complex reality that the government has worked to simplify, and the media has done little to clarify. Willamette Week (Portland, OR)-Movie Review It's a journey worth taking, but better him than you. He poked into things that journalists and others don't usually stop to examine, and he emerged with a highly personal travelogue that sheds a light on a complex and volatile situation. The Oregonian Living Section Shiley deserves credit for going to Iraq twice by himself (both times for a month) and trying to get stories he believes are worth showing. San Francisco Chronicle Shiley captures quite a lot of intriguing footage - and makes an important point about just how out of control the situation in Iraq has gotten..." San Francisco Bay Guardian What an amazing, powerful film and presentation. In essence, you provided us with a comprehensive behind the scenes tour, no snap-shot news reports, no "approved" footage, no political speak press conferences, just the simple and unfortunate reality that for everyone involved war is hell.. University of Wisconsin Shiley's footage presented stories of survival amidst extreme strife, the human stories that are not seen for the very most part on the nightly news. "...well attended and compelling..." Purdue University I think the questions you raised last night are part of the conversation we should all be having, and I think it is really admirable that you did the work to help us to have it. Keep it up! Harvard Alumni Association I applaud you for undertaking this difficult and creative work. I think this film has a future as an important source of information for citizens who are confused about the US 'project' in Iraq. Reed College, Portland, OR
