A Once and a Lifetime Chance.......2006-09-13
This movie introduces you to many of the men who will probably be the only photographers and videographers in history to record nuclear weapons detonations on film. It is fascinating to hear their stories, techniques and even opinions on what they were filming. It is a shocking reminder of reality to hear one of the videographers talk about some of his friends and family that were killed in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings--very powerful and provoking.
This is another high class presentation of incredibly sensitive subject matter during a turbulent time in our nation's (and the world's) history. Peter Kuran produces another top notch docu-drama! Buy this DVD. It is probably more historical, technical and by far, biographical than any of his other projects to date. Low redundancy--fresh material.
Big thumbs up!
Only because of grace,

Product Description
This classic collection of Civil Defense films were mostly created during the
height of the cold war in the 1950's when there was a communist behind every
bush and Nuclear War was going to happen at any instant. The films are both
educational and entertaining as they are immersed in the knowledge and values
of the 50's. You will learn how to defend yourself in the case of a gas attack
(which may actually be good to know nowadays), how to hide in case The Bomb is
dropped, how to deal with a nuclear fallout situation, and see how a city should
be evacuated for an emergency and much more.
Many of the films also have great shots of early nuclear testing explosions.

Description
Video Reviews were previously completed about other videos developed by Mr. Saladino and not necessarily the programs listed.
Weapon Defenses
Mr. Saladino will discuss and demonstrate the stick, knife, gun and cane confrontations. See some very invaluable weapon defenses and the importance of learning and understanding how to put them into great action as a last resort.
The more I watch Mr. Saladino, the more I like what Mr. Saladino teaches. After having watched several of his tapes, I highly recommend this series, based on what I've seen so far. And forget purchasing just 1 or 2 of Mr. Saladino's tapes! Even though each tape can stand on its own, and benefit a person greatly, the real beauty of this system is learning to use and combine what's taught on each of his tapes, especially the last 3 we've reviewed. If a person were to really dedicate oneself to learning each of those 3 tapes, they'd have one heck of a fighting system. And if that's not a strong enough recommendation about this series, let me put it this way, "Because of it's thorough and complete utilization of various martial arts techniques, and it's infinite possibilities, this is THE style I wish I'd started out with 20 years ago!"
