We purchased the DVD from California Newsreel in 2005. Their website indicates that their distribution is "discontinued". They refer to PBS and Auburn University. CA Newsreel may also have contact info for the rights holder. http://newsreel.org/video/THIS-FAR-BY-FAITH
Good luck. Nell Chenault VCU Libraries (804) 828-2070 njche...@vcu.edu From: Meghann Matwichuk <mtw...@udel.edu> To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Date: 12/13/2011 02:15 PM Subject: [Videolib] "This Far By Faith" / other recommended titles re: Black American Musilms Sent by: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu Hello All, I'm looking to see if we can obtain a DVD set released by PBS in 2003 called This Far By Faith: http://www.pbs.org/thisfarbyfaith/about/the_series.html Notations on the page indicate that the DVDs can be purchased, but the link into PBS's sales database doesn't retrieve anything and a phone call to PBS confirmed that they no longer distribute it. (A book by the same name is available, but no DVDs.) The production company (Blackside) link appears to be defunct, too, although I am waiting for a response to a query I've send to a different Blackisde Productions. In the meanwhile, I thought I'd check to see if anyone might know of alternate distributors for this title, or other suggestions for films about Black American Muslims.
