Juvenile, low budget, over-priced DVD. Stick with anything from a major documentary producer or channel - like The History Channel or Discovery, etc.

I'm going to try and return it.

This product was not as expected for the price of $59.95. I was really disappointed. It should be sold for $5.00 or less. It is about a half hour long. Don't buy it! I am returning it. I expected to receive 4 DVD's for that price.

Yeah, that's what this joke of a DVD tries to do. I spend 42 classroom hours over an entire semester teaching the world's religions and it is still inadequate. To even try to pretend to cover all of that material in a half hour is mind bogglingly silly. As someone else pointed out in their review, to charge $59.95 for 33 minutes is ridiculous. EVN videos tend to be on the insipid and vacuous side, but this is the worst I have seen. I am not sure who the supposed audience is supposed to be for this. Certainly not college or high school students. Don't get this.

I was disappointed because my expectations for the price were much higher than were realised through the short one dvd programme. It was professional, and a good overview, intended for educational purposes and setting, but short.

With the title "Great Religions of the World", and the price tag, I was expecting more like a full length programme dedicated to each of the Great Religions. In part I must take responsibilty for the mis-purchase, through an impulse buy based on the great title, and not reading the product details sufficiently.

The price problem was exacerbated by having to pay an additional 15% tax on import to UK, and an additional post office handling charge equivalent to about $12.
