This inspirational documentary details the history of women in automobile racing, exploring the obstacles to success and the victory of achievement in a field that is traditionally dominated by men. Interviews with successful racers Lyn St. James, Tammy Jo Kirk, Patty Moise, Shawna Robinson, and Janet Guthrie illuminate their individual career paths, and the women's passions, fears, and frustrations are palpable. They discuss the role of family in their professional lives, the difficulties of securing sponsorship--a necessary part of participation in this expensive sport--and the challenges of being role models for the next generation of female racers. Incorporated into the mix is footage of contemporary and historic races, and horrific crashes which, nonetheless do not deter these tenacious women from their sport. The harrowing tale of driver Kimberly Myers' battle with cystic fibrosis is a true testament to the strength and courage of these trailblazing athletes, and is a definite highlight of the film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Director's Commentary Driver's BiographyInteractive Features: Interactive Menus

Giving a history of surfing that stretches from the early 1940s to 2004, RIDING GIANTS is director Stacy Peralta's examination of surfing as a lifestyle, a risk-taker's delight, and a space for increasing innovation and modernization. From the California coastline to the dramatic wild waters of Hawaii, big waves are the aim of some of the top surfers in the sport--Greg Noll, Jeff Clark, and Laird Hamilton. Beginning with old footage of the first surf boards which were long and heavy and made for riding small waves without much movement, and taking viewers through the sport chapter by chapter, this comprehensive documentary shows how the faces of the sport change with advances in surfboard technology. Bit by bit boards become smaller and beach bums are more readily accepted by society. The film offers a comic look at cult films like GIDGET and the music of surf guitarist Dick Dale--pop culture influences responsible for introducing the sport and its lifestyle to the mainstream. The most fascinating moments of the film come in its final quarter when Hamilton and his buddies discover the key to tow-in big-wave surfing and break through all imaginable boundaries. RIDING GIANTS shows some true daredevils doing what they do best, and its magnificent photography, comprehensive interviews, and insider perspective are truly a marvel to behold.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Subtitles - French - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

In January 1998, a storm off the coast of Japan began moving eastward across the Pacific Ocean toward Hawaii's North Shore, producing monster waves that thrilled surfers but prompted the Coast Guard to declare a CONDITION BLACK, wherein all access to the water is denied. Defying the ban, a group of rebel surfers decided to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride the 40-foot waves but soon encountered some of the most extreme--and dangerous--weather conditions imaginable. This episode of PBS' award-winning NATURE series documents the surfers' death-defying experiences through personal interviews and action footage (some of which was captured with IMAX cameras), resulting in an incredible expose of the extent of Mother Nature's power.DVD Features:Regiuon (Unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
