ADHD Entertainment has a mission to be a relevant corporation that provides quality entertainment for a huge variety of demographics, and to help people solidify their identities through music, art, literature, fashion and film.  What better way is there to do so than to get more familiar with one’s history?  To this end, ADHD Entertainment has been hard at work creating their latest brilliant resource: Historic DVDs!  This collection of DVDs provides insight into various different aspects of American history. With many categories to choose from: famous events, great disasters, early Soundies, classic Betty Boop cartoons, classic commercials, Buster Keaton’s comedy and much more, Historic DVDs allows you to see how the early pioneers created and shaped the way for many of the inventions and entertainment we still use today, as well as providing riveting documentaries on the events that shaped our very lives as Americans.

            The vast majority of the DVDs in this collection highlight historical events and movements that are broad enough for all Americans to relate to the information and commentary therein.  To highlight one category, one of the more pertinent and universally relevant phases in American history is industry: there are documentary films on the history of the automobile industry, as well as the trucking and mining industries, and the way that these were developed and woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. With the recent controversy over TARP and just about every industry in our nation itching for a bailout, the genesis of these industries as the foundation of the American economy is a subject about which we could all stand to learn more. There are also documentaries on railroads, manufacturing, aviation and various labor strikes that had a high impact.  There are also a number of films on major events and disasters in our history, from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake to the 1923 Berkeley Fire, and several war documentaries, primarily about the Second World War.

            Historic DVDs also caters to some localized history which will be of interest to those who live there, as well as those who have specific fascinations with certain areas of the United States. As ADHD Entertainment is a New York-based company, many of these deal with New York City—there is a film recorded at the Apollo Theater in Harlem that highlights the shockingly racist entertainment of the 1930s, as well as a few documentaries on the city itself, various Manhattan landmarks, Coney Island and some of the more well-known towns on Long Island. It even includes an interesting look at a Memorial Day parade that was held in the small town of Cornwall, NY (Orange County) in 1920.  Along with these, the category “Cities and States” provides films dealing with Detroit, Norristown & Doylestown (Pennsylvania), Niagara Falls, Chicago, a poignant view of pre-Katrina New Orleans dating back to the height of jazz, Denver, and an in-depth look at the history of the state of Alaska: from Seward’s folly to the process through which it became our 49th state.

            The entertainment category shows the way it has transformed through the years, due to changing culture, social values and technology. It includes vintage cartoons including the classics Betty Boop, Felix the Cat and Popeye. It also includes vintage reels of the comedy of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Eddie Cantor.  There are classic short films like “Who Killed Doc Robin” and features like Bowery Blitzkrieg, along with documentaries on the histories of the television and radio industries, classic commercials and a few looks into the world of fashion.  Overall, this diverse and professionally made collection of DVDs contains a wealth of information and insight into the building blocks of the American identity.
