PBS's The Real Olympics successfully compares the ancient and modern games with regards to politics, events and techniques, scandals, and commercialization, while demystifying many common beliefs and glorified myths of the ancient games. Part religious retreat, part bacchanal revelry, part athletic competition, the ancient Olympics were a ritualized celebration of the human form. No physical medals were awarded. There was no prize or honor for second and third place. Winners of event became earthly representations of the gods of Olympia, inheriting immediate fame and fortune. Considered a pagan spectacle, the ancient games were banned by ruling Christians 800 years after their birth. Over a thousand years later, it took a German archeological dig in the ancient grounds and the dream of a Frenchman to reignite the concept that the world could meet peacefully in sport. Today, the modern Olympics have grown to become one of the most prodigious and viewed sporting events in the world. In addition to comparing the past and present, the documentary also explores some of the darker elements of the modern-day Olympics--for example, the Nazis' development of the current modern Olympics pageantry and the ideal that amateurism would emphasize the pureness of sport, when in actuality it was a block by "gentlemen sport club" amateurs to keep out competitive athletes. Overall, the The Real Olympics is a well-put-together documentary rich with academic content set to visual reenactments of the ancient games and video clips of the modern Olympics. --Rob Bracco

WORLD PREMIERE
Narrated by SIR PETER USTINOV

Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, has been passionately studied for centuries for being the first pioneer into what we now know as the field of modern day health care. Now his fascinating life is beautifully portrayed in this World Premiere one hour documentary entitled ""Olympics: Hippocrates in Olympia"", by George Petritsis, based on the book ""Medical Care During the Ancient Olympic Games"" by Christos Lolas, M.D., and narrated by Academy Award(r) winner, the late, great Sir Peter Ustinov. This DVD is believed to have been his final narration and his mellifluous voice adds additional richness to this magnificent work.

This 52-minute DVD gem was filmed in a classic documentary style infused with beautiful and original music scored by Yannis Markopoulos. Prominent in this visually rich presentation are actual ancient artifacts from many of the great archaeological sites and museums found in Greece.

""Hippocrates in Olympia"" focuses on the fascination of Hippocrates and his advanced holistic medical beliefs, while investigating a closely related subject, namely the medical care of the revered athletes during the ancient Olympic Games. It was of vital importance in that era that the sportsmen of the day were kept in perfect health in order to provide the much loved entertainment to the leading dignitaries, artists and philosophers in attendance at the ultimate sports festival.
