Russian Revolution: From The Last Tsar to Lenin - 22 m - A revolution overthrowing Romanov rule had been expected in Russia for some decades prior to 1917. Perhaps the more remarkable feature about it was not that it occurred, but that the Tsarist regime lasted as long as it did. This film covers the reign of the last Tsar to the death of Lenin.

Animal Farm (animated film) - 70 m - Animal Farm tells of the revolt of the animals of Manor Farm against their human masters. Led by the pigs Snowball and Napoleon, the animals attempt to create a utopian society.

Manor Farm becomes a world where all animals are equal--but some are more equal than others. Adapted from the novel by George Orwell.
