5.0 out of 5 stars Master Show, March 6, 2011

i remember studying these devices for a history report i had to do and came across this show, the show puts in a lot more detail than what i could find and besides just teaching about how the machine would work it also gives a brief history of why the machines were used. got to admit i learned a lot from this show! a Must See for anyone who is interested in pass devices!

This review is from: Surviving History (DVD)

We read about these instruments of torture, we see their pictures, but watching a video on how they worked is - by far - more impressive. This DVD gets 5 stars because it not only shows how these instruments worked, but also the team's effort in actually building them from scratch and putting them to test (on human subjects too). DVD is a bit too long and repetitive (at some point the comments are exactly the same, only expressed by some other team member).
