DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is of variable quality due to different source elements that make up this documentary. There are some creative visuals, interview segments, stock footage and crisp transitions. The interview segments offer satisfying color fidelity, and blacks are deep and solid. Most of the anomalies with this picture are related to the various source elements. There is no distracting pixelization or edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)
