Two new documentaries arrive on DVD today, October 22nd:

FAR OUT ISN'T FAR ENOUGH:

The Tomi Ungerer Story
98 minutes, documentary, color, closed captions, 2012

A film by Brad Bernstein

Special Features: Tomi Ungerer & Jules Feiffer at The Society of Illustrators • Maurice Sendak Critiques The King's Speech • Tomi Ungerer in Ireland • Deleted Scenes • Director's Commentary

One man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing society's boundaries through his subversive art, Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story combines traditional documentary storytelling with original animation culled from seven decades worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator.

Using a palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet controversial life story, the film offers a retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, and ponders the complexities and contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history.

IN A TOWN THIS SIZE
71 minutes, documentary, color, closed captions, 2011

A film by Patrick V. Brown

Special Features: Deleted Scenes • Behind the Scenes • Resource Guide

In A Town This Size introduces an Oklahoma town and its long-ignored tragedy of child sexual abuse during the 1960's and 70's. Told through poignant first-person interviews with the victims, their families and professionals, these stories inform viewers about the lifelong harm of childhood sexual abuse. Emphasizing the resiliency of the human spirit, the film illustrates that through determination, support and direct conversation, survivors can heal themselves and become advocates for change. These stories devastate, frustrate and inspire - and hopefully empower audiences to confront child sexual abuse and press for change to the states' statutes of limitation regarding this crime.
