How To.. How To..

In order to keep up their status as an edu-info- tain-gency, the A/V Geeks present an evening of films that show you how to do things. For example, How To Build an Igloo teaches us step-by-step how to build a shelter in the ice. With How to Get Cooperation we learn the fine art of twisting classmates’ arms to cooperate. And The Shoplifter accidentally teaches you some nifty shoplifting tricks (circa 1964).

A Very Special DVD

While devoting an entire DVD to films about the developmentally-disabled (mentally handicapped, retarded) might seem like an odd (maybe even inappropriate) theme, but these films provide insight into our culture’s view of the handicapped and the real-life problems that care providers must address. You can tell a lot
about a society by how it treats its handicapped- World of the Right Size, Teaching the Mentally Retarded, I’m Ready Mom, Are You?, Board and Care, Selling One Guy Named Larry.
