"I cannot think of any other title that would be as befitting as the one chosen by the producers of this fascinating set of DVDs (A Southern Kaleidoscope). Yes, this truly is a kaleidoscope of the southern states; showcasing the many faces of the region in as many hues and tones as could possibly be captured on film. From scenes of thrilling Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans to the pathos of the homeless in Greater St. Louis, the films on these fabulous DVDs present an absorbing account of the life in the southern states. Particularly riveting are the travelogues of Florida and the tribute to African Americans whose contribution to the growth and prosperity of the southern states cannot be overlooked. A peek at the modern housing that had sprung up in Alabama and a fleeting look at the accomplishments of the telephone industry put the finishing touches to a delightful compilation of films, most of which date back to the mid-fifties. These films present a new perspective on the southern part of this great country and are certain to delight, inform and entertain. Truly a work of art, this fascinating set of DVDS is one that collectors will do well to add to their collection."
