Editorial Reviews

This documentary, filmed in Widescreen Digital High Definition (HD) video, delves into the colorful background of Tulips. The video covers a variety of topics including learning about cultivation and farming activities, meeting the people who raise and process these beautiful flowers and bulbs, and discovering the many varieties and colors of Tulips that have been developed. In recent years the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, in Washington state, has taken on county fair proportions becoming a "Rite of Spring" for the entire region. Each April, hundreds of acres of blooming fields resembling a "colorful explosion in a paint factory" attract nearly a half million visitors from all over the world. Not only to show beauty, this new video/DVD also takes a deep look at the hard work throughout the year that goes into creating the magnificent Tulip flower as well as the process of bulb farming. In the Fall - planting and fertilizing, Spring brings harvesting, and Summer the bulbs are dug up to be cleaned, sorted and stored for replanting in the Fall so the cycle of bulb cultivation can continue.

lack of inspriation August 6, 2005
Format:DVD
I was really excited about seeing into mysterious and hard to get to Bhutan. Really the film is just too superficial, lacks coherent direction and seldom touches the really interesting aspects of third world life. It is like some freshman college students decided to make a film for class at the end of first semester. You can tell the country is beautiful and full of much more interesting stimulus. But at least they opened the door. So thanks..

I must say it's expensive, production is amateurish, and duplication quality is poor, but it's well-made and heart-warming. There is no West chauvinism I usually find in the products of this kind. Recommended, although a little bit short.

A Little Disappointing September 6, 2003
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
After hearing so much about Bhutan, I was disappointed that this was all that the team could come up with. Also, it lacks brightness in general, I don't know if it's the colors or lighting, or what. However, it's not bad considering there's barely anything out there on Bhutan. And I think it's worth the money. If you only had to get one video on Bhutan, though, I'd go for the Living Edens one instead.
