DVD Reviews of Empires - Great Religions: People and Passions That Changed the World
DVD Review: Great Documentary Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only repeat what I wrote in the review to the other PBS Empires DVD collection:
Empires Collection - The Dynasties (Egypt's Golden Empire / The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance / Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire / The Roman Empire in the First Century / The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization)
The PBS Empires series of Documentaries is among my favorite of all time. Each of the 2-3 hours long titles brings individual episodes of human history to life in an as much as entertaining as educational fashion through original images of locations and objects, re-enactments as well as great original music. I have not seen a PBS Empires title that wasn't great and only regret that they made too few of them over the years.
This collection is also great, although the price is not as good as a bargain as for the other set, which is over $20 cheaper and provides over 200 minutes more content.
What the Amazon.com product description is lacking is the information, which of the PBS Empires series titles are actually part of this DVD set. Well, here is the list:
1. Empires - Islam: Empire of Faith (3 Episodes) ca. 160 min (2000)
2. Empires - Martin Luther (2 Episodes) ca. 110 min (2002)
3. Empires - The Kingdom of David - The Saga of the Israelites (4 Episodes) ca. 220 min (2003)
4. Empires - Peter & Paul and the Christian Revolution (2 Episodes) ca. 110 min (2003)
5. Empires - Holy Warriors: Richard the Lionheart & Saladin (1 Episode) ca. 90 min (2005)
