WEBVTT

00:00:24.816 --> 00:00:27.402
To the worm in the cheese,

00:00:27.694 --> 00:00:30.030
the cheese is the universe.

00:00:31.114 --> 00:00:35.911
To the maggot in the cadaver,
the cadaver is infinity.

00:00:37.037 --> 00:00:39.998
And to you, what is your world?

00:00:41.083 --> 00:00:43.585
How do you know what is beyond the beyond?

00:00:44.878 --> 00:00:48.382
Most of us don't even know
what is behind the beyond.

00:00:57.224 --> 00:01:00.644
According to Michelangelo,
the most beautiful form

00:01:00.936 --> 00:01:03.021
in nature is the human body.

00:01:04.856 --> 00:01:07.526
This shop on Chicago's
East Side caters to those

00:01:07.818 --> 00:01:11.446
who would make nature's most
beautiful form more beautiful.

00:01:14.241 --> 00:01:17.411
Our camera is now positioned
behind a two-way mirror

00:01:17.703 --> 00:01:19.204
in the dressing room of this shop.

00:01:20.414 --> 00:01:21.915
The women you will see have no idea

00:01:22.207 --> 00:01:23.333
they are being photographed.

00:01:24.543 --> 00:01:26.753
The mirror does not have
the usual black backing

00:01:27.045 --> 00:01:29.673
and from our side, which
remains in darkness,

00:01:29.965 --> 00:01:31.550
the mirror functions as a window,

00:01:32.467 --> 00:01:34.803
while to those in the dressing room

00:01:35.095 --> 00:01:37.139
it appears to be a simple mirror.

00:01:55.073 --> 00:01:57.451
So as not to offend these
ladies or their lovers

00:01:57.743 --> 00:02:00.412
or husbands, and to satisfy the desires

00:02:00.704 --> 00:02:02.456
of our own legal department,

00:02:02.748 --> 00:02:04.916
we were forced to censor their faces.

00:06:54.789 --> 00:06:56.249
According to William Shakespeare,

00:06:56.541 --> 00:07:00.003
the most divine aspiration
of the human body is love,

00:07:01.046 --> 00:07:05.926
but in this bizarre world of
ours love takes many forms,

00:07:06.217 --> 00:07:10.013
some of them very, well, bizarre.

00:07:13.475 --> 00:07:17.938
This is Nassau, capital of the Bahamas,

00:07:18.229 --> 00:07:22.025
a small clutter of
islands, 3,000 in number,

00:07:22.317 --> 00:07:24.110
belonging in the British Commonwealth.

00:07:25.153 --> 00:07:28.156
The principal industries
of Nassau are providing

00:07:28.448 --> 00:07:31.952
tax free havens for United
States corporations who wish

00:07:32.243 --> 00:07:35.455
to avoid paying their share
of the cost of government,

00:07:35.747 --> 00:07:37.999
and providing vacationing Americans a way

00:07:38.291 --> 00:07:42.253
of spending their money
quickly, easily, and comfortably.

00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:47.258
There is also a small
basket weaving industry,

00:07:47.550 --> 00:07:49.678
but we are not here to talk of industry.

00:07:51.221 --> 00:07:54.057
These people are the
descendants of slaves.

00:07:54.349 --> 00:07:56.559
Today they are civilized
members of the community,

00:07:56.851 --> 00:07:59.396
educated and responsible, but for some

00:07:59.688 --> 00:08:03.024
there is still a yearning
for the freedom of spirit

00:08:03.316 --> 00:08:05.819
and abandon of the past.

00:08:07.320 --> 00:08:09.698
Our quest has brought us to Nassau

00:08:09.990 --> 00:08:11.574
because this is one of the last places

00:08:11.866 --> 00:08:15.245
in the Western Hemisphere
where the ancient black arts

00:08:15.537 --> 00:08:17.706
of voodoo are still practiced.

00:08:19.249 --> 00:08:22.210
Our cameras were hidden in
the hills of New Providence,

00:08:22.502 --> 00:08:25.088
only three and one-half miles from Nassau.

00:08:26.089 --> 00:08:29.342
These people gather
religiously every Thursday

00:08:29.634 --> 00:08:33.013
to indulge in a most frantic
and depraved form of worship.

00:08:45.525 --> 00:08:47.444
What you are seeing here is fortunately

00:08:47.736 --> 00:08:52.407
a highly revised version of
the original terrifying ritual.

00:08:55.410 --> 00:08:57.996
In the good old days for example,

00:08:58.288 --> 00:09:01.166
a white baby would be
kidnapped for sacrifice.

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:05.128
At the peak of the
ceremony, the child's body

00:09:05.420 --> 00:09:07.589
would be dismembered
by clever manipulations

00:09:07.881 --> 00:09:10.050
of the machete, and arms and legs

00:09:10.341 --> 00:09:12.302
would be thrown into the air in the hope

00:09:12.594 --> 00:09:15.722
that the lord god
Damballa would be pleased

00:09:16.014 --> 00:09:17.057
and smile upon them.

00:09:19.893 --> 00:09:22.020
But we'll see none of that here tonight,

00:09:23.313 --> 00:09:25.565
for after all, these people are civilized.

00:09:32.864 --> 00:09:36.159
The ceremony begins with
the lighting of the sacred fire,

00:09:36.451 --> 00:09:39.245
a symbol of Damballa's passion.

00:09:39.537 --> 00:09:42.624
An important part of the
sacrament is rum and ganja,

00:09:43.833 --> 00:09:46.211
the latter being none other
than simple marijuana.

00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:16.741
Voodoo came to these
islands over 200 years ago.

00:10:17.158 --> 00:10:21.496
The raids on the African
slave coast began about 1742

00:10:21.788 --> 00:10:23.915
and thousands of these believers were sold

00:10:24.207 --> 00:10:25.667
into the West Indies and, later,

00:10:25.959 --> 00:10:28.253
further northwest to the Bahamas.

00:10:31.047 --> 00:10:34.801
Rum and ganja hasten the
elevation of the mood

00:10:35.093 --> 00:10:36.511
to spiritual heights.

00:10:39.681 --> 00:10:40.991
At the proper moment when the participants

00:10:41.015 --> 00:10:44.060
are in the required spiritual mood,

00:10:44.352 --> 00:10:46.062
the voodoo king opens the ceremony.

00:10:47.105 --> 00:10:50.191
The queen, or mama as
she is sometimes called,

00:10:50.483 --> 00:10:52.318
officiates at the ceremony.

00:11:01.995 --> 00:11:05.456
The ceremony gets underway with
the beheading of a chicken.

00:11:05.748 --> 00:11:09.002
The white feathered bird
serves as a macabre substitute

00:11:09.294 --> 00:11:10.837
for the white baby.

00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:13.923
The blood is drained into a wooden bowl.

00:11:14.215 --> 00:11:15.775
The shot you are now watching was taken

00:11:15.884 --> 00:11:18.887
with a 1,000 millimeter telescopic lens

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:21.306
at a distance of almost one mile.

00:11:46.956 --> 00:11:49.626
The great serpent of evil, the zombie,

00:11:49.918 --> 00:11:52.795
or in this case a small boa constrictor,

00:11:53.087 --> 00:11:54.130
is next to be sacrificed.

00:12:03.181 --> 00:12:07.018
Its blood is drained into the
bowl with that of the chicken.

00:12:07.310 --> 00:12:11.147
In this way the fluid of
life represented by the baby,

00:12:11.439 --> 00:12:13.650
chicken, and the spirit of the devil,

00:12:13.942 --> 00:12:16.569
represented by the snake, are mingled.

00:12:16.861 --> 00:12:19.239
Their mystical powers are released.

00:12:19.530 --> 00:12:22.784
This divine mixture will be
drunk by members of the group

00:12:23.076 --> 00:12:26.079
who will then be exorcized of their sins.

00:12:26.371 --> 00:12:28.498
They will fall to the
ground in what is said

00:12:29.457 --> 00:12:31.251
to be a hypnotic catatonic state,

00:12:31.542 --> 00:12:34.337
their eyes opened in a glazed stare.

00:12:35.588 --> 00:12:40.468
In this state they can commit
no evil, commit no sins.

00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:42.303
They can do no wrong.

00:13:02.657 --> 00:13:05.660
While the old laws of voodoo have changed,

00:13:05.952 --> 00:13:08.579
the old hexes, gris-gris,
and dolls with pins

00:13:08.871 --> 00:13:12.125
have fallen into disuse,
the primeval sensuality

00:13:12.417 --> 00:13:15.295
and spirit of wanton abandonment remain.

00:13:16.296 --> 00:13:18.965
Voodoo provides a release
from the restrictions

00:13:19.257 --> 00:13:21.301
and inhibitions of civilization.

00:13:21.592 --> 00:13:24.804
Many of the people here not
only do not believe in voodoo,

00:13:25.096 --> 00:13:26.806
but do not observe any of the rules

00:13:27.098 --> 00:13:28.641
concerning the ceremony itself.

00:13:29.642 --> 00:13:31.561
They are here it seems for nothing more

00:13:31.853 --> 00:13:33.813
than a weird social gathering.

00:13:38.401 --> 00:13:42.405
Discretion compels us to bid
adieu to Nassau at this point,

00:13:42.697 --> 00:13:44.866
for while these people may be civilized,

00:13:45.158 --> 00:13:47.744
most of us are not
civilized enough ourselves

00:13:48.036 --> 00:13:51.164
to accept some of the
more engaging aspects

00:13:51.456 --> 00:13:54.125
of their strange, mystical rites.

00:14:06.262 --> 00:14:09.557
And now we journey to the distant Orient,

00:14:09.849 --> 00:14:13.978
the inscrutable East,
Land of the Rising Sun.

00:14:18.483 --> 00:14:23.196
The Japanese Empire has

00:14:23.488 --> 00:14:26.449
and to service its 96 million people,

00:14:26.741 --> 00:14:30.244
has 534 colleges and universities

00:14:30.536 --> 00:14:35.291
and 7,220 massage parlors.

00:14:36.793 --> 00:14:38.961
This is Kyoto.

00:14:39.253 --> 00:14:42.840
This is one of the many
massage parlors in the city.

00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:45.160
With permission of the management,

00:14:45.426 --> 00:14:47.011
we have installed hidden cameras

00:14:47.303 --> 00:14:50.848
in both this reception room
and one of the massage booths.

00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:55.311
Our curiosity in Japan and
its numerous massage parlors

00:14:55.603 --> 00:14:57.313
was prompted by a growing interest

00:14:57.605 --> 00:15:01.317
In what is commonly referred
to as the special massage.

00:15:03.236 --> 00:15:07.448
There were 14 massage booths,
each about 12 feet square.

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:09.450
A hole was cut through the thin wall

00:15:09.742 --> 00:15:12.787
of an adjoining massage room
where our camera was placed.

00:15:16.124 --> 00:15:18.751
A two-way mirror was hung over the hole.

00:15:19.669 --> 00:15:22.004
It is now possible for our camera to see

00:15:22.296 --> 00:15:25.091
through the mirror into the room.

00:15:25.383 --> 00:15:27.885
Because of the low light
level in the room itself,

00:15:28.177 --> 00:15:29.929
a high-speed black and white film

00:15:30.221 --> 00:15:32.181
was used for this sequence.

00:15:32.473 --> 00:15:35.560
This man does not know
he is being photographed.

00:15:35.852 --> 00:15:37.937
He is one of many American businessmen

00:15:38.229 --> 00:15:41.607
who expect to find a more
permissive atmosphere here

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:43.776
than in the massage parlors back home.

00:15:44.902 --> 00:15:46.779
For the legend persists that here

00:15:47.071 --> 00:15:51.325
one may obtain a special
massage of such rare delights

00:15:51.617 --> 00:15:55.872
as to make one's visit to the
Orient joyously memorable.

00:15:56.164 --> 00:15:58.541
It is quite apparent that this gentleman

00:15:58.833 --> 00:16:01.711
IS in no way interested
in the aggressive activity

00:16:02.003 --> 00:16:04.088
that this young lady is providing.

00:16:04.380 --> 00:16:06.757
It matters not to him that
she's been well-trained

00:16:07.049 --> 00:16:09.594
from childhood in customary geisha fashion

00:16:09.886 --> 00:16:12.680
in the art of massage and that she knows

00:16:12.972 --> 00:16:16.184
every muscle of the body
and exactly what pressures

00:16:16.476 --> 00:16:18.436
are required to relax the nerves

00:16:18.728 --> 00:16:20.313
and stimulate the blood flow.

00:16:21.355 --> 00:16:24.066
The stimulation this
gentleman is desirous of

00:16:24.358 --> 00:16:26.277
Is of quite a different nature,

00:16:27.361 --> 00:16:29.071
but the young lady speaks no English

00:16:30.114 --> 00:16:33.326
and the man obviously speaks no Japanese.

00:16:34.452 --> 00:16:37.997
Patience, especially in
the Orient, is a virtue.

00:17:11.864 --> 00:17:16.202
Finally, he makes his
point and he settles down

00:17:16.494 --> 00:17:19.080
to thoughts of a more amorous nature.

00:17:20.248 --> 00:17:23.584
He is hoping that his
first special massage

00:17:23.876 --> 00:17:26.671
shall be something to
be forever treasured.

00:17:28.756 --> 00:17:31.592
It is the answer to a silent prayer.

00:17:32.593 --> 00:17:36.013
The special massage girl is
lovelier than he had hoped.

00:17:37.139 --> 00:17:39.892
Now it's only a matter of time.

00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:43.312
She prepares herself for the job

00:17:43.604 --> 00:17:45.648
with the grace of a ballerina.

00:18:21.851 --> 00:18:24.562
Finally, everything is ready

00:18:25.813 --> 00:18:28.649
and he knows it is about to begin.

00:18:58.054 --> 00:19:00.097
Beyond doubt,
this special massage

00:19:00.389 --> 00:19:02.183
will leave a lasting impression.

00:19:09.148 --> 00:19:10.900
In addition to culture,

00:19:11.192 --> 00:19:14.111
Kyoto is also one of the
key manufacturing cities

00:19:14.403 --> 00:19:15.738
in the Japanese Empire.

00:19:16.030 --> 00:19:18.449
It is, for example, one
of the largest exporters

00:19:18.741 --> 00:19:21.035
of women's undergarments in the world.

00:19:24.205 --> 00:19:26.248
And this is one of the most successful

00:19:26.540 --> 00:19:29.335
mail order operations in the United States

00:19:29.627 --> 00:19:31.921
with headquarters in
Hollywood, California.

00:19:33.631 --> 00:19:38.511
Founder and president of the
organization is Mr. Frederick,

00:19:38.803 --> 00:19:41.263
a man whose unique design capabilities

00:19:41.555 --> 00:19:44.642
have made him the most
successful underwear salesman

00:19:44.934 --> 00:19:45.934
in the world.

00:19:49.313 --> 00:19:50.940
His mail order operation has grown

00:19:51.232 --> 00:19:54.276
to be one of those remarkable
American success stories.

00:19:58.155 --> 00:20:00.116
We asked Mr. Frederick to tell us

00:20:00.408 --> 00:20:03.828
about his fantastic
organization in his own words.

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:05.514
This is our catalog,

00:20:05.538 --> 00:20:06.956
the lifeblood of our business.

00:20:07.248 --> 00:20:09.458
This is two to three
years ahead of its time.

00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:13.129
We're supplying our customers
with exactly what they want.

00:20:13.421 --> 00:20:15.548
We were the first major
distributor of braziers

00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:18.676
in America that had pushup pads in them.

00:20:18.968 --> 00:20:21.262
In addition, we supplied padded braziers

00:20:21.554 --> 00:20:23.723
for women in the larger bust sizes

00:20:24.014 --> 00:20:26.600
who want to look younger not just bigger.

00:20:26.892 --> 00:20:30.688
We felt the B cups
might wanna look like Cs

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:35.526
and the C cups like Ds, and we
found that we weren't wrong.

00:20:35.818 --> 00:20:37.498
Also, our specialty items add a great deal

00:20:37.737 --> 00:20:39.071
of interest in our catalog.

00:20:39.363 --> 00:20:41.198
The girdle, for example,
with the open seat

00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:44.034
was designed because I do not like a woman

00:20:44.326 --> 00:20:47.788
in a pair of capris to have a
buttressed, cemented in look.

00:20:48.873 --> 00:20:50.916
We give her the support
where she needs it,

00:20:51.208 --> 00:20:53.169
in the tummy and hips, and we cut it out

00:20:53.461 --> 00:20:54.712
where it appears undesirable.

00:20:55.671 --> 00:20:59.091
We developed the hole in the
middle bra for the same reason.

00:20:59.383 --> 00:21:02.261
We make periodic quality
checks using live models

00:21:02.553 --> 00:21:04.346
with known sizes.

00:21:04.638 --> 00:21:07.641
The Frederick's catalog is
sent to all of our customers

00:21:07.933 --> 00:21:10.561
six times a year at a yearly postage cost

00:21:10.853 --> 00:21:13.355
to us of $150,000.

00:21:13.647 --> 00:21:18.444
90% of our customers are
women, 60% of whom are married,

00:21:19.028 --> 00:21:22.281
and of that group, 50%
had two or more children.

00:21:23.616 --> 00:21:26.327
Our mailing list consists
of over a million names

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:30.623
and we service people in
over 71 foreign countries.

00:21:30.915 --> 00:21:35.169
Our mail order department
employs approximately 300 people.

00:21:35.461 --> 00:21:38.380
All mail is opened on the day it arrives.

00:21:38.672 --> 00:21:40.792
If it gets in early enough,
it's possible for the item

00:21:40.883 --> 00:21:43.385
to be on its way to the
customer the next day.

00:21:43.677 --> 00:21:47.264
Frederick's
Is an industrial symphony,

00:21:47.556 --> 00:21:52.353
a medley of machinery,
letters, and underwear.

00:24:32.346 --> 00:24:36.141
If the human spirit is
divine as Dante said,

00:24:36.433 --> 00:24:39.728
then the temple of that
spirit is the human body.

00:24:40.854 --> 00:24:43.482
We journey now to Sydney, Australia

00:24:43.774 --> 00:24:46.944
to witness a demonstration
of the mysterious powers

00:24:47.236 --> 00:24:50.447
of the mind and their
effect on the human body.

00:24:54.076 --> 00:24:57.287
These members of the press
and the medical profession

00:24:57.579 --> 00:25:00.249
are gathered here at
the University of Sydney

00:25:00.541 --> 00:25:04.670
to investigate the claims
of Jack Schwarz, a Dutchman,

00:25:04.962 --> 00:25:08.590
who has the amazing
ability to prevent disease

00:25:08.882 --> 00:25:10.426
and infection in his body.

00:25:11.719 --> 00:25:16.015
Mr. Schwarz makes no claims
to be a mystic or a fakir.

00:25:16.306 --> 00:25:20.561
He is, he says, "Just an
ordinary person like you or me."

00:25:21.729 --> 00:25:25.274
However, he has learned to control and use

00:25:25.566 --> 00:25:30.112
the magic powers of his
subconscious mind through meditation

00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:34.908
so that he only requires
two hours sleep per night.

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.414
He eats only three full meals per week,

00:25:41.749 --> 00:25:45.669
yet he is just an
ordinary man as you or I.

00:25:47.004 --> 00:25:49.089
Mr. Schwarz claims that he makes no use

00:25:49.381 --> 00:25:51.842
of self-hypnosis in controlling his body,

00:25:52.134 --> 00:25:56.055
but relies more on a positive
method of concentration

00:25:56.346 --> 00:26:00.684
which might be referred to
as a mental local anesthetic.

00:26:03.145 --> 00:26:05.939
The principal device for his experiments

00:26:06.231 --> 00:26:08.108
is a bed of nails.

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:13.197
This bed of nails contains
only 17 very rusty nails.

00:26:14.364 --> 00:26:16.825
The traditional bed of
nails of the Indian fakir

00:26:17.117 --> 00:26:19.953
numbers between 40 and 80 nails.

00:26:20.245 --> 00:26:24.416
The fewer the nails, the deeper
they penetrate the flesh.

00:26:25.501 --> 00:26:30.214
In addition, these nails
are in no way sterilized.

00:26:37.262 --> 00:26:40.474
And for those who are
skeptical of the slow exertion

00:26:40.766 --> 00:26:45.437
of 242 pounds on Mr. Schwarz's stomach,

00:26:45.729 --> 00:26:48.023
we offered a 50 pound boulder

00:26:48.315 --> 00:26:50.609
which will be struck with a sledgehammer,

00:26:50.901 --> 00:26:53.445
creating an instantaneous impact reaction

00:26:53.737 --> 00:26:57.282
equal to 750 pounds.

00:27:31.733 --> 00:27:34.528
A close examination by doctors confirms

00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:37.865
that a complete penetration of
the flesh has been achieved,

00:27:39.116 --> 00:27:43.328
yet no blood has been drawn
and the wounds themselves

00:27:43.620 --> 00:27:47.291
will be totally healed within a half hour.

00:27:47.583 --> 00:27:49.459
How does he do it?

00:27:49.751 --> 00:27:54.047
By directing his mind, he says,
"IN a spirit of meditation

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:57.176
to the affirmative emotions of life."

00:27:57.467 --> 00:27:59.803
However, for those of
you who remain skeptical,

00:28:00.095 --> 00:28:02.181
Mr. Schwarz shall now run a carpet needle

00:28:02.472 --> 00:28:04.016
into the side of his face.

00:28:05.934 --> 00:28:07.614
Once again, sterilization of the implement

00:28:07.895 --> 00:28:10.314
IS not considered, even to the point

00:28:10.606 --> 00:28:12.065
of rubbing it into the carpeting.

00:28:14.484 --> 00:28:16.361
Those of you who have queasy stomachs

00:28:16.653 --> 00:28:19.740
may wish to avert your
eyes at this moment.

00:28:26.955 --> 00:28:30.125
Mr. Schwarz believes each of us is divine,

00:28:30.417 --> 00:28:33.212
each of us is our own God.

00:28:33.503 --> 00:28:35.130
By meditating on the beauty and love

00:28:35.422 --> 00:28:37.633
of our own being, we cleanse ourselves

00:28:37.925 --> 00:28:40.802
of the negative emotions that induce fear,

00:28:41.094 --> 00:28:43.972
despair, and disease.

00:28:52.814 --> 00:28:55.692
Finally, he prepares to
drive the second needle

00:28:55.984 --> 00:28:56.984
through his forearm.

00:28:58.362 --> 00:29:01.031
A member of the press is
invited to spit on it.

00:29:02.366 --> 00:29:06.328
This is indeed an unsterilized instrument.

00:29:16.505 --> 00:29:18.507
For those who would attempt this feat,

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.677
remember you must first
learn the art of meditation.

00:29:24.638 --> 00:29:27.349
For only by mastering your own mind

00:29:27.641 --> 00:29:29.893
can you hope to gain mastery of your body.

00:29:32.562 --> 00:29:36.608
Then perhaps you, too, can
sleep only two hours a night,

00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:39.820
eat only three full meals a week,

00:29:40.112 --> 00:29:41.947
and stick pins in your cheeks.

00:32:22.691 --> 00:32:26.653
Where, in all this
marvelous, amazing world,

00:32:26.945 --> 00:32:31.366
can we find life more bizarre
than in your own front yard?

00:32:32.909 --> 00:32:37.330
60 years ago this was the
small, sleepy Western town

00:32:37.622 --> 00:32:41.376
of El Pueblo de Nuestra
Senora de los Angeles.

00:32:41.668 --> 00:32:45.172
Today it is the sprawling
megalopolis of Los Angeles,

00:32:45.464 --> 00:32:47.841
the largest city in
the Western Hemisphere.

00:32:48.967 --> 00:32:52.220
Nowhere in the world are
there more automobiles.

00:32:52.512 --> 00:32:55.182
Nowhere has growth been more continuous,

00:32:55.474 --> 00:32:58.185
has the urban sprawl been more persistent,

00:32:58.477 --> 00:33:01.897
have the wide open spaces
been more completely devoured

00:33:02.189 --> 00:33:04.483
by the unending influx of outsiders

00:33:04.774 --> 00:33:07.402
migrating here for the good life.

00:33:09.029 --> 00:33:12.908
50 years ago these houses would
be standing on vacant land,

00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:16.286
interspersed with vast
groves of orange trees.

00:33:17.621 --> 00:33:22.083
Today, the motorcar dominates
life in Southern California.

00:33:22.375 --> 00:33:24.836
This is Sunset Boulevard,

00:33:25.128 --> 00:33:27.923
legendary street of dreams and myths.

00:33:28.882 --> 00:33:31.384
Young people from all over
the world are drawn here

00:33:31.676 --> 00:33:35.514
by the glamour of the film
industry, for this is Hollywood,

00:33:35.805 --> 00:33:37.974
now just a small section of Los Angeles.

00:33:39.809 --> 00:33:42.062
Here are the fabled
clubs and watering places

00:33:42.354 --> 00:33:43.354
of the celebrated.

00:33:44.606 --> 00:33:47.067
Nearby are the apartment houses and homes

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.777
for those who work in Hollywood.

00:34:04.417 --> 00:34:05.835
Ah, some of them at least find time

00:34:06.127 --> 00:34:09.297
to take a bit of the sun,
when the smog will permit.

00:34:49.671 --> 00:34:52.841
It is here in this great Los Angeles Basin

00:34:54.092 --> 00:34:58.013
that we find the elusive
search for love and fulfillment

00:34:58.305 --> 00:35:00.849
taking forms never dreamed
of by Michelangelo,

00:35:01.141 --> 00:35:02.141
Shakespeare, or Dante.

00:35:05.895 --> 00:35:10.609
This is Main Street, only
eight blocks from City Hall.

00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:14.029
Our camera is concealed in a bakery truck.

00:35:14.321 --> 00:35:18.116
We are watching two
homosexual male prostitutes

00:35:18.408 --> 00:35:20.452
waiting for the first
contact of the evening.

00:35:33.965 --> 00:35:36.384
Soliciting is against the law here.

00:35:36.676 --> 00:35:38.136
One has to be cautious in selecting

00:35:38.428 --> 00:35:39.638
a companion for the evening.

00:35:40.972 --> 00:35:43.683
Enlargements of still
photographs taken at this time

00:35:43.975 --> 00:35:47.646
indicate that the driver
of the car is a male.

00:36:34.484 --> 00:36:35.484
Careful.

00:36:36.444 --> 00:36:38.488
Make certain that you
aren't being watched.

00:36:56.756 --> 00:36:58.925
Ah well, perhaps next time.

00:37:03.513 --> 00:37:05.682
La Cienega Boulevard in Beverly Hills

00:37:05.974 --> 00:37:07.774
might well be considered
the Greenwich Village

00:37:07.934 --> 00:37:08.934
of the West.

00:37:09.561 --> 00:37:13.982
On this street one may find a
painting to suit every mood,

00:37:14.274 --> 00:37:17.569
to fulfill all desires, and
to fit every pocketbook.

00:37:19.696 --> 00:37:21.781
Sir Julian Huxley once said that the role

00:37:22.073 --> 00:37:25.952
of the artist "is to provide
variety to our lives,

00:37:26.244 --> 00:37:29.998
thus our lives are
enriched and ennobled."

00:37:30.290 --> 00:37:33.752
Los Angeles has become the
cultural center of the West.

00:37:35.003 --> 00:37:37.464
These paintings present
a traditional approach

00:37:37.756 --> 00:37:39.549
to the artist's creative vision.

00:37:41.217 --> 00:37:45.680
Prices for these paintings
range from $100 to about $1,000.

00:38:11.831 --> 00:38:15.043
Almost directly across the
street we find the works

00:38:15.335 --> 00:38:18.046
of modern artist Ellsworth Kelly.

00:38:18.338 --> 00:38:21.424
This painting is priced at $5,000

00:38:23.968 --> 00:38:27.472
and is cleverly entitled Red and Blue.

00:38:32.769 --> 00:38:35.104
This work is priced at $6,000.

00:38:35.396 --> 00:38:38.233
It is entitled Red, Green, and Blue.

00:38:39.609 --> 00:38:43.112
The creative experience takes many forms.

00:38:43.404 --> 00:38:45.907
This theater houses another collection

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:48.117
of the West's cultural heritage.

00:38:49.369 --> 00:38:52.664
2 Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

00:38:52.956 --> 00:38:56.835
Art reflects
life and life imitates art.

00:38:57.794 --> 00:38:59.712
These paintings belong in the collection

00:39:00.004 --> 00:39:02.632
of one very wealthy theater owner.

00:39:02.924 --> 00:39:06.928
They represent his concept of
genuine creative expression.

00:39:55.393 --> 00:39:59.230
But what of the artists
themselves, the creators of beauty,

00:39:59.522 --> 00:40:00.899
the providers of variety?

00:40:02.066 --> 00:40:03.066
What are they doing?

00:40:27.008 --> 00:40:31.471
This 60-foot tower was created
by sculptor Mark di Suvero

00:40:31.763 --> 00:40:34.974
of New York in protest
against America's involvement

00:40:36.100 --> 00:40:38.394
in the unpleasantness in Vietnam.

00:40:38.686 --> 00:40:40.647
A committee of artists contacted painters

00:40:40.939 --> 00:40:43.232
all over the world to
participate in this protest.

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:50.365
Over one million dollars
worth of paintings

00:40:50.657 --> 00:40:53.910
created by 200
internationally famous artists

00:40:54.202 --> 00:40:57.789
adorn the exhibit and give
voice to their indignation.

00:41:30.279 --> 00:41:33.491
Dedication ceremonies heard
veterans of the Vietnam War

00:41:33.783 --> 00:41:36.577
add their voices to those of the artists.

00:43:05.708 --> 00:43:07.794
But there
were other voices, too.

00:43:12.215 --> 00:43:15.384
Counter pickets stage a
protest against the protest.

00:43:16.302 --> 00:43:18.930
The Young Americans For
Freedom vigorously support

00:43:19.222 --> 00:43:21.641
the government's position in Vietnam.

00:43:21.933 --> 00:43:25.520
The signs they carry represent
no artistic endeavors,

00:43:25.812 --> 00:43:29.023
and at present market prices
are totally valueless,

00:43:29.315 --> 00:43:32.026
but the messages they
contain are most assuredly

00:43:32.318 --> 00:43:34.028
definite statements of their beliefs.

00:44:05.768 --> 00:44:08.479
This in turn
inspires a counter protest

00:44:08.771 --> 00:44:11.399
against their protest
of the artists' protest.

00:44:11.691 --> 00:44:12.771
Right there.

00:44:12.942 --> 00:44:15.862
If this seems
confusing, try to bear with us,

00:44:16.154 --> 00:44:17.905
for after all this is part of the variety

00:44:18.197 --> 00:44:19.991
that the artist contributes to our lives.

00:44:33.629 --> 00:44:35.298
Wait, sir.

00:44:47.685 --> 00:44:49.353
Wait, sir.

00:45:08.539 --> 00:45:10.041
Oh, I give up.

00:45:10.333 --> 00:45:12.501
An old Oriental proverb says

00:45:12.793 --> 00:45:16.714
the more life changes the
more it remains the same.

00:45:17.006 --> 00:45:18.549
The tower is gone.

00:45:19.508 --> 00:45:21.886
The arguments have been
hot and impassioned.

00:45:22.970 --> 00:45:27.892
On this day in Vietnam 37
Americans lost their lives

00:45:28.184 --> 00:45:32.897
while here only a small echo
of protest could be heard.

00:46:12.937 --> 00:46:14.814
Art in Los
Angeles is by no means

00:46:15.106 --> 00:46:16.941
restricted to the professional.

00:46:17.233 --> 00:46:19.735
This art class is at this moment

00:46:20.027 --> 00:46:22.280
attended solely by housewives,

00:46:22.571 --> 00:46:25.074
most of whom are aged over 40.

00:46:26.534 --> 00:46:29.287
It is not however a prerequisite
that you be a housewife

00:46:29.578 --> 00:46:32.873
to enjoy the advantages
of this particular class,

00:46:33.165 --> 00:46:35.668
or for that matter that
you be over the age of 40.

00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.671
It is only necessary
that you apply yourself

00:46:38.963 --> 00:46:42.967
to the full development of
individual artistic expression.

00:48:16.310 --> 00:48:20.439
This is Vito, a sculptor,
painter, poet, dancer,

00:48:20.731 --> 00:48:23.859
and photographer, truly a Renaissance man.

00:48:25.277 --> 00:48:28.531
His approach to the arts
IS joyously creative

00:48:28.823 --> 00:48:31.826
and spontaneous.

00:49:24.336 --> 00:49:26.547
My name is
Vito and I'm a sculptor

00:49:27.715 --> 00:49:30.593
and the figure that you see
here is a glass construction

00:49:30.885 --> 00:49:32.887
entitled Bending Dancer.

00:49:33.179 --> 00:49:35.973
I cut out photographs
of girls and paste them

00:49:36.265 --> 00:49:38.767
on pieces of glass, then
I glue the pieces together

00:49:39.059 --> 00:49:42.354
onto the figure, which
Is two-thirds life size.

00:49:57.369 --> 00:50:00.706
I also do more conventional
kinds of sculpture.

00:50:00.998 --> 00:50:03.375
This is my protest against prejudice

00:50:03.667 --> 00:50:05.669
and intolerance in the world.

00:50:05.961 --> 00:50:09.256
I believe that we should love
one another rather than hate.

00:50:09.548 --> 00:50:11.967
I believe in peace rather than war.

00:50:12.259 --> 00:50:13.969
I try to put that into my work.

00:50:24.897 --> 00:50:28.442
Now, I'd consider myself
as a deviant from the norm.

00:50:29.401 --> 00:50:31.654
The word deviant is
considered an unhealthy word

00:50:31.946 --> 00:50:35.991
in our culture, but without
the so called deviant, man

00:50:36.283 --> 00:50:38.702
long would have perished,
because the deviant

00:50:38.994 --> 00:50:41.330
is the one who brings
an element of beauty,

00:50:41.622 --> 00:50:43.249
an element of aesthetics into the world,

00:50:43.541 --> 00:50:46.794
and without beauty it's
pointless for man to exist.

00:50:47.086 --> 00:50:48.837
I'm interested in adding some

00:50:49.964 --> 00:50:52.550
Element of design to my
general attitude in life.

00:50:52.841 --> 00:50:54.385
Otherwise it's a bore and mundane

00:50:54.677 --> 00:50:56.720
and I'm not particularly interested in it.

00:50:57.012 --> 00:50:59.265
Many people think that
I'm some kind of a nut,

00:50:59.557 --> 00:51:02.476
but I don't care just as long
as they buy my sculpture.

00:51:07.856 --> 00:51:09.793
The sprawling
megalopolis of Los Angeles

00:51:09.817 --> 00:51:12.861
offers a variety of hedonistic experience.

00:51:13.153 --> 00:51:16.282
This is Balboa, a
playground for millionaires

00:51:16.574 --> 00:51:20.369
and just everyday folks like you and me.

00:51:21.870 --> 00:51:25.833
Once a year a strange
mating right takes place

00:51:26.125 --> 00:51:28.252
on these seemingly innocent shores.

00:51:29.211 --> 00:51:31.380
For just as the seals return annually

00:51:31.672 --> 00:51:34.258
to the Bering Straits
and the swallows return

00:51:34.550 --> 00:51:38.971
to Capistrano, so do tens of
thousands of young teenagers

00:51:39.263 --> 00:51:42.182
converge on Balboa at Easter time

00:51:42.474 --> 00:51:44.351
to indulge their youthful energies

00:51:44.643 --> 00:51:48.939
in drinking, dancing, flirting, and well,

00:51:50.232 --> 00:51:52.151
just about everything else.

00:51:53.068 --> 00:51:55.988
Here beyond the watchful eyes of parents

00:51:56.280 --> 00:51:59.241
and school authorities they
learn the facts of life

00:51:59.533 --> 00:52:03.579
in their first awkward
gropings towards maturity.

00:52:03.871 --> 00:52:06.540
The small police force is
reinforced to many times

00:52:06.832 --> 00:52:07.875
its normal compliment.

00:52:08.167 --> 00:52:10.461
State Highway troopers and
officers from communities

00:52:10.753 --> 00:52:13.756
all over California
help to at least control,

00:52:14.048 --> 00:52:16.967
if not subdue, the youthful
vigor of the teenagers.

00:52:23.390 --> 00:52:26.769
Every vehicle is pressed into
the service of the police,

00:52:27.061 --> 00:52:30.147
including even the dog catcher's truck.

00:52:30.439 --> 00:52:32.650
Road blocks are set up at major approaches

00:52:32.941 --> 00:52:34.902
and suspicious looking
vehicles are searched

00:52:35.194 --> 00:52:37.112
for alcohol or drugs.

00:52:37.404 --> 00:52:39.823
Hundreds are arrested, the charges ranging

00:52:40.115 --> 00:52:42.242
from drunkenness to indecent exposure.

00:52:51.877 --> 00:52:56.465
In order to better understand
this modern mating ritual

00:52:56.757 --> 00:52:59.468
we interviewed some of the participants.

00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:00.260
- Where'd you come from?

00:53:00.552 --> 00:53:01.613
Las Vegas, Nevada.

00:53:01.637 --> 00:53:03.117
- Did you drive down in your own car?

00:53:03.263 --> 00:53:03.972
Yes, I did.

00:53:04.264 --> 00:53:04.932
Where are
you living while you're here?

00:53:05.224 --> 00:53:07.643
We have a room, motel room.

00:53:07.935 --> 00:53:09.311
- How many of you share the room?

00:53:09.603 --> 00:53:10.603
14.

00:53:10.688 --> 00:53:11.688
14!

00:53:11.772 --> 00:53:13.500
- Have you had any parties
since you've been here?

00:53:13.524 --> 00:53:14.524
Every night.

00:53:14.775 --> 00:53:15.960
When are you going home?

00:53:15.984 --> 00:53:17.253
When the money runs out.

00:53:17.277 --> 00:53:19.477
How much do
you pay for this hotel room?

00:53:19.697 --> 00:53:22.282
About 70 cents
apiece, 85 cents apiece.

00:53:22.574 --> 00:53:23.117
How old are you?

00:53:23.409 --> 00:53:24.649
How old am I?♪ 18.

00:53:24.827 --> 00:53:26.429
Has anybody
been down here the whole week?

00:53:26.453 --> 00:53:27.121
Oh, I have.

00:53:27.413 --> 00:53:28.813
I'm down here every day every year.

00:53:29.081 --> 00:53:29.623
I have.

00:53:29.915 --> 00:53:30.457
Say the
cops haven't gotten you yet?

00:53:30.749 --> 00:53:31.893
<i>Not yet, no not yet.</i>

00:53:31.917 --> 00:53:32.459
Do you expect the cops?

00:53:32.751 --> 00:53:33.419
Yes, I do.

00:53:33.711 --> 00:53:34.294
- She's been picked at before.
- Why?

00:53:34.586 --> 00:53:36.147
Because I always
expect them to get me.

00:53:36.171 --> 00:53:36.714
<i>- {Girl I got a ticket the other day.</i>

00:53:37.005 --> 00:53:37.548
What for?

00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:38.465
<i>For riding in the back of a Jeep,</i>

00:53:38.757 --> 00:53:39.299
hanging out the end.
- Yeah, we had

00:53:39.591 --> 00:53:40.884
to pay for this guy's ticket.

00:53:41.176 --> 00:53:41.719
Do the police

00:53:42.010 --> 00:53:43.154
give you much trouble, generally?

00:53:43.178 --> 00:53:44.263
Yes, I hate 'em.

00:53:44.555 --> 00:53:46.324
What do
they give you trouble about?

00:53:46.348 --> 00:53:47.575
<i>They yell at you
for walkin' down the street</i>

00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:48.142
the wrong way.

00:53:48.434 --> 00:53:49.560
I know, I hate 'em.

00:53:49.852 --> 00:53:50.394
<i>They're no good.
- Like, you're down'</i>

00:53:50.686 --> 00:53:51.966
anything and you get in trouble.

00:53:52.146 --> 00:53:53.164
Here are my knobbies.

00:53:53.188 --> 00:53:53.856
Where, let me see.

00:53:54.148 --> 00:53:55.458
All right,
wanna see my knobbies?

00:53:55.482 --> 00:53:56.522
Calcium deposits, you see.

00:53:56.734 --> 00:53:58.134
I'm not going in the Army for them.

00:53:58.235 --> 00:53:58.777
Why, because
you can't wear boots, right?

00:53:59.069 --> 00:54:01.739
Better than bein'
a conscientious objector.

00:54:02.030 --> 00:54:02.740
Now, what
are you doing for a living?

00:54:03.031 --> 00:54:04.351
I don't do anything.

00:54:04.533 --> 00:54:05.677
Well how do you exist?

00:54:05.701 --> 00:54:07.095
Oh, we go
down to the beach there

00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:11.165
and clam dig Saturdays and just
take it over to the market,

00:54:11.457 --> 00:54:12.541
they give ya steaks for it.

00:54:12.833 --> 00:54:14.710
And what about a place to live?

00:54:15.002 --> 00:54:15.502
How do you exist?

00:54:15.794 --> 00:54:18.088
Well, there's a number of guys

00:54:18.380 --> 00:54:20.591
go together on one place and
it doesn't cost that much.

00:54:20.883 --> 00:54:21.425
Can you?

00:54:21.717 --> 00:54:22.902
What does it cost you?

00:54:22.926 --> 00:54:24.428
About $4 a week.

00:54:24.720 --> 00:54:26.322
Do ya stay down here any nights?

00:54:26.346 --> 00:54:26.930
Yeah.

00:54:27.222 --> 00:54:28.324
Where do
ya stay when ya stay here?

00:54:28.348 --> 00:54:28.932
The beach.

00:54:29.224 --> 00:54:29.767
You sleep on the beach?

00:54:30.058 --> 00:54:30.559
Yeah.

00:54:30.851 --> 00:54:31.393
That sounds great.

00:54:31.685 --> 00:54:32.227
Yeah, it's fun.

00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:33.061
Do the
police give you any trouble?

00:54:33.353 --> 00:54:35.373
No, they don't bother
me 'cause I don't let 'em.

00:54:35.397 --> 00:54:35.939
Well how do you not let them?

00:54:36.231 --> 00:54:37.542
Because if they talk to me

00:54:37.566 --> 00:54:39.860
I just plug my ears and
say, "Don't talk to me."

00:54:40.152 --> 00:54:41.921
And then
they just leave you alone

00:54:41.945 --> 00:54:42.529
from that point, is that right?

00:54:42.821 --> 00:54:44.299
Yeah, because
they think I'm nice.

00:54:44.323 --> 00:54:46.301
Last night, the cops
are always buggin' guys.

00:54:46.325 --> 00:54:46.867
Why is that?

00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:47.701
I don't know why, man.

00:54:47.993 --> 00:54:48.535
They don't respect the guys.

00:54:48.827 --> 00:54:50.430
All the kids respect
the cops, but the cops

00:54:50.454 --> 00:54:51.514
don't respect the kids down there.

00:54:51.538 --> 00:54:52.932
There's two cops here and two cops there

00:54:52.956 --> 00:54:53.499
and all over, man.

00:54:53.791 --> 00:54:55.435
What do
you wanna do for a living?

00:54:55.459 --> 00:54:56.585
I don't know.

00:54:56.877 --> 00:54:58.117
How old are ya?

00:54:58.253 --> 00:54:59.253
18.

00:54:59.421 --> 00:55:00.732
What do you do for excitement?

00:55:00.756 --> 00:55:02.633
Surf, usually sit down here

00:55:02.925 --> 00:55:03.967
and play my guitar.

00:55:04.259 --> 00:55:04.843
Where do you go to school?

00:55:05.135 --> 00:55:05.803
Phoenix, Arizona.

00:55:06.094 --> 00:55:06.678
Did you come out here

00:55:06.970 --> 00:55:07.513
just for the Easter week?

00:55:07.805 --> 00:55:08.347
Yes.

00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:09.639
Can be kind of a drag.

00:55:09.681 --> 00:55:11.558
I'm glad I'm goin" home.

00:55:11.850 --> 00:55:13.435
Phoenix is better.

00:55:13.727 --> 00:55:14.807
Well, no.

00:55:15.020 --> 00:55:17.248
Think I'm goin' to New York
next time I go on a vacation.

00:55:17.272 --> 00:55:20.567
Watch out,
New York, you may be next.

00:55:28.867 --> 00:55:33.372
Man's endless search for
fulfillment takes many forms,

00:55:33.664 --> 00:55:36.667
but nowhere is it more
bizarre than in Europe's

00:55:36.959 --> 00:55:40.003
most highly industrialized
nation, Germany.

00:55:47.386 --> 00:55:50.430
Here in the busy seaport city of Hamburg

00:55:50.722 --> 00:55:55.310
citizens gather to watch a
play about the sick world

00:55:55.602 --> 00:56:00.232
of the days of Hitler
entitled Heil Deutschland.

00:56:12.786 --> 00:56:15.706
This actress portrays a Jewish girl

00:56:15.998 --> 00:56:19.209
who has apparently been hiding
in this attic for months.

00:57:02.377 --> 00:57:05.213
Written by a former Nazi playwright,

00:57:05.505 --> 00:57:08.175
Karl Hofstede, this play has been running

00:57:08.467 --> 00:57:11.845
for 14 years to capacity audiences.

00:57:12.930 --> 00:57:16.934
Under the guise of exposing
the evils of the Nazi era,

00:57:17.225 --> 00:57:20.062
this blatantly anti-Semitic drama

00:57:20.354 --> 00:57:23.523
even offers recordings of Hitler's voice

00:57:23.815 --> 00:57:27.152
and songs of the dreaded
Nazi SS stormtroopers

00:57:27.444 --> 00:57:28.444
during the performance.

00:57:44.294 --> 00:57:46.672
What forbidden emotions lurk in the hearts

00:57:46.964 --> 00:57:51.468
of this audience as they
relive the sick days of Hitler?

00:57:52.427 --> 00:57:56.181
What dark forces lie brooding within,

00:57:56.473 --> 00:57:58.892
waiting for the opportunity to once again

00:57:59.184 --> 00:58:00.769
burst forth on the world?

00:58:02.062 --> 00:58:05.524
Perhaps this play will give us a hint.

01:01:41.156 --> 01:01:44.326
But lest we become too involved
in horrors of the past,

01:01:44.618 --> 01:01:47.370
let us now appraise the
bizarre of the here and now.

01:01:48.455 --> 01:01:51.333
Our quest next takes us to distant Lebanon,

01:01:51.625 --> 01:01:53.335
bordering on the blue Mediterranean.

01:01:54.878 --> 01:01:57.339
Let us hear from Mr. George Fillmore,

01:01:57.631 --> 01:02:00.175
a member of the Arabian expedition team

01:02:00.467 --> 01:02:01.927
via transatlantic telephone.

01:02:02.886 --> 01:02:05.430
We picked up this
Arab who was to guide us

01:02:05.722 --> 01:02:09.100
to the slave trading
area and drove all night,

01:02:09.392 --> 01:02:11.978
about 119 kilometers out of Beirut.

01:02:12.270 --> 01:02:15.649
It's wild country, no roads to speak of,

01:02:15.941 --> 01:02:17.984
no maps or telephones, nothing,

01:02:18.276 --> 01:02:21.029
and we only had this Arab's word to go by.

01:02:21.321 --> 01:02:23.121
We were a little strung
up about the situation

01:02:23.198 --> 01:02:25.909
because Muslim law is very strict.

01:02:26.201 --> 01:02:28.119
They shoot slave traders on the spot,

01:02:28.411 --> 01:02:30.914
and of course they consider us infidels.

01:02:31.831 --> 01:02:36.544
This Arab, his name was
Fuad, he showed us the place

01:02:36.836 --> 01:02:38.380
to set up our cameras.

01:02:39.547 --> 01:02:41.591
It's way up in the side of the mountain,

01:02:41.883 --> 01:02:46.680
very steep, and he also pointed out to us

01:02:47.264 --> 01:02:48.682
the spot that the slave auction

01:02:48.974 --> 01:02:50.267
was supposed to take place in.

01:02:51.476 --> 01:02:54.646
He showed us where to unload our equipment

01:02:54.938 --> 01:02:59.609
and of course we had little
choice but to follow him.

01:03:01.236 --> 01:03:03.446
We unloaded the equipment very fast.

01:03:03.738 --> 01:03:05.132
The sooner we got it out of the van,

01:03:05.156 --> 01:03:06.156
the safer it was for us.

01:03:07.659 --> 01:03:10.370
There was an awful lot of
it, not just camera gear,

01:03:10.662 --> 01:03:13.707
but sound recording stuff, cables.

01:03:13.999 --> 01:03:15.458
Well, we had a lot of hauling to do

01:03:15.750 --> 01:03:18.878
and there was a few heavy
things like the big pulley rope

01:03:19.170 --> 01:03:20.714
to get it up the mountain.

01:03:21.006 --> 01:03:23.717
After that we drove the
empty van out of there

01:03:24.009 --> 01:03:25.677
and around the other side of the ridge

01:03:25.969 --> 01:03:27.971
where it would be out
of sight but still handy

01:03:28.263 --> 01:03:30.598
just in case we had to
scamper over the ridge

01:03:30.890 --> 01:03:32.142
to get out of there.

01:03:32.434 --> 01:03:35.061
Now that I think of it, it
wouldn't have been much use.

01:03:35.353 --> 01:03:38.189
It would've probably
been a rotten carve up.

01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:44.988
Fuad helped us lash up the
equipment securely to the sled.

01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:46.823
We had brought the bare minimum,

01:03:47.115 --> 01:03:49.409
but it still seemed like a ton.

01:03:49.701 --> 01:03:52.912
We tied on a few extra ropes just in case,

01:03:53.204 --> 01:03:55.457
and in the meantime the
van was being hidden

01:03:55.749 --> 01:03:58.168
just over the other side of the ridge.

01:03:59.919 --> 01:04:01.963
We needed a volunteer
to go up the mountain

01:04:02.255 --> 01:04:04.799
and I was the lucky one who was selected.

01:04:05.091 --> 01:04:06.926
It was fairly easy at the beginning

01:04:07.218 --> 01:04:10.388
but I soon found out that
we were gonna have a problem

01:04:10.680 --> 01:04:13.224
because it was all loose gravel up there.

01:04:13.516 --> 01:04:17.479
And you know you take two
steps up and one step back.

01:04:18.730 --> 01:04:22.609
It was actually easier
going up on all fours.

01:04:22.901 --> 01:04:25.236
It was very frustrating
and I seemed to be making

01:04:25.528 --> 01:04:26.780
no progress at all.

01:04:27.072 --> 01:04:29.324
However, I knew the clock was ticking

01:04:29.616 --> 01:04:30.992
and we just had to get on with it.

01:04:31.284 --> 01:04:32.994
I think we were all getting nervous now

01:04:33.286 --> 01:04:36.373
because we still hadn't got
the stuff up the hill yet.

01:04:37.499 --> 01:04:39.042
I fastened the rope around the tree

01:04:39.334 --> 01:04:41.461
and I started back down.

01:04:41.753 --> 01:04:42.295
It was very loose and
slippery on that hill

01:04:42.587 --> 01:04:44.589
and that's when I lost my balance.

01:04:49.886 --> 01:04:53.681
I thought me number's
up, but as it turned out

01:04:53.973 --> 01:04:56.017
I'd just winded meself and I got

01:04:56.309 --> 01:04:58.269
a bit of a scrape on the leg.

01:04:58.561 --> 01:05:00.563
A few moments later I was back at it,

01:05:00.855 --> 01:05:03.525
pulling on the rope to get
that equipment up the hill.

01:05:03.817 --> 01:05:05.485
Time was against us.

01:05:05.777 --> 01:05:08.571
We set up the camouflage net first.

01:05:08.863 --> 01:05:11.116
We had a definite plan to
follow and we more or less

01:05:11.408 --> 01:05:13.368
followed that right to the letter.

01:05:13.660 --> 01:05:15.180
We had three cameras, one was a spare,

01:05:15.453 --> 01:05:17.497
and we used that just
to photograph ourselves

01:05:17.789 --> 01:05:19.290
settin' up the equipment.

01:05:19.582 --> 01:05:22.710
One camera had a 1,000 millimeter lens

01:05:23.002 --> 01:05:24.879
that was so powerful
you could almost pick up

01:05:25.171 --> 01:05:28.633
the hairs on a flea's back legs
at about a mile and a half.

01:05:28.925 --> 01:05:31.386
We got it set up while Fuad stood watch

01:05:31.678 --> 01:05:33.555
and kept his eyes skinned.

01:05:33.847 --> 01:05:35.056
We'd also gotten hold

01:05:35.348 --> 01:05:38.393
of a Morrison Senior
teledynamic microphone.

01:05:38.685 --> 01:05:40.103
We got it from the military.

01:05:40.395 --> 01:05:42.147
It's got a tremendous range.

01:05:42.439 --> 01:05:43.940
You can focus it into an area

01:05:44.232 --> 01:05:46.693
up to two and a half kilometers away.

01:05:46.985 --> 01:05:49.279
It'll pick up the sounds
and bring 'em back.

01:05:49.571 --> 01:05:51.072
It's really unbelievable.

01:05:51.364 --> 01:05:53.700
After quite a lot of
work we got all set up

01:05:53.992 --> 01:05:56.202
and ready to go, and then it was my job

01:05:56.494 --> 01:05:58.705
to cross the ridge, find
meself a look over there

01:05:58.997 --> 01:06:00.457
and act as lookout.

01:06:00.748 --> 01:06:03.918
The country is rough, very, very barren

01:06:04.210 --> 01:06:06.254
and dry actually, very dry,

01:06:06.546 --> 01:06:09.382
and it's just crazy to be out there.

01:06:13.386 --> 01:06:15.221
I was in a position to see 'em coming

01:06:15.513 --> 01:06:16.953
and as soon as I saw the first truck

01:06:17.056 --> 01:06:19.184
at about 1:30 in the afternoon,

01:06:19.476 --> 01:06:23.271
I waved and then I ducked
down and I kept outta sight.

01:06:54.302 --> 01:06:55.982
Due to atmospheric conditions,

01:06:56.262 --> 01:06:57.931
we were unable to pick up all the sounds

01:06:58.223 --> 01:07:00.433
with the teledynamic microphone.

01:07:00.725 --> 01:07:02.894
The great distance from the source

01:07:03.186 --> 01:07:05.855
caused the sound to be somewhat delayed.

01:10:33.646 --> 01:10:35.732
This limousine suggests that this will be

01:10:36.023 --> 01:10:38.901
no ordinary slave auction,
for this is royalty.

01:10:40.778 --> 01:10:43.030
However, discretion
compels that we obscure

01:10:43.322 --> 01:10:47.535
the license plate lest we
offend a friendly country

01:10:47.827 --> 01:10:50.037
and precipitate an international incident.

01:10:51.581 --> 01:10:53.708
Slave trading in this area is one of those

01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:57.044
great open secrets that
no one talks about.

01:10:58.212 --> 01:10:59.452
It has been estimated that more

01:10:59.589 --> 01:11:02.884
than three million Lebanese
pounds are spent annually

01:11:03.176 --> 01:11:05.219
for the purchase of human flesh.

01:11:06.471 --> 01:11:09.223
That is about one
million American dollars.

01:11:09.515 --> 01:11:13.603
Unlike the slave trade
in America in the 1800s,

01:11:13.895 --> 01:11:18.649
these slaves are not
intended for manual labor.

01:11:18.941 --> 01:11:20.651
Rather, they will probably find their way

01:11:20.943 --> 01:11:22.820
into the brothels of the Middle East

01:11:23.112 --> 01:11:27.450
where they will provide the
physical incarnation of love.

01:11:27.742 --> 01:11:30.119
It is true that the human body is,

01:11:30.411 --> 01:11:33.831
in Michelangelo's words, the form divine.

01:11:34.999 --> 01:11:38.336
However, such is the atmosphere
of prudity and repression

01:11:38.628 --> 01:11:41.047
in our country that we can not reveal

01:11:41.339 --> 01:11:43.591
this scene as our cameras saw it.

01:11:44.801 --> 01:11:48.221
Many hours of painfully slow
labor have been expended

01:11:48.513 --> 01:11:51.849
to obscure the offensive parts

01:11:52.141 --> 01:11:54.685
from the view of the prurient minded.

01:12:39.981 --> 01:12:44.485
This poor creature was
sold for 4,000 pounds,

01:12:44.777 --> 01:12:47.446
about 1,750 American dollars,

01:12:48.406 --> 01:12:50.700
or for less than a good used car.

01:16:30.753 --> 01:16:34.256
It is not lust or desire
that inspires the enthusiasm

01:16:34.548 --> 01:16:36.133
of these eager buyers.

01:16:36.425 --> 01:16:39.428
The motive is greed, for
in these parts of the world

01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:42.890
a blonde is one of the
most secure investments.

01:16:43.182 --> 01:16:46.393
These traders pool their
resources into a buying syndicate

01:16:46.685 --> 01:16:48.813
in order to compete with
the wealthier traders.

01:17:16.298 --> 01:17:18.050
This pathetic creature will probably

01:17:18.342 --> 01:17:20.302
become the centerpiece of some brothel,

01:17:20.594 --> 01:17:22.429
the star attraction so to speak.

01:17:43.701 --> 01:17:46.245
Even the guard was moved to leave his post

01:17:46.537 --> 01:17:49.039
in order to capture a
closer glimpse of the blond.

01:17:49.331 --> 01:17:51.333
We shall run that again as photographed

01:17:51.625 --> 01:17:53.961
with the 1,000 millimeter lens in order

01:17:54.253 --> 01:17:56.088
to recapture the drama of the moment.

01:18:00.259 --> 01:18:01.820
Lest there be those who will be offended,

01:18:01.844 --> 01:18:03.679
let it not be forgotten that in this area

01:18:03.971 --> 01:18:05.931
many things are regarded as normal

01:18:06.223 --> 01:18:08.559
that you and I might
think of as perversions.

01:18:09.643 --> 01:18:14.064
This handsome youth may
well end up in a palace,

01:18:14.356 --> 01:18:17.693
enjoying all the privileges
and perquisites of royalty,

01:18:19.153 --> 01:18:23.199
for as long as he remains
youthful and willing.

01:19:40.192 --> 01:19:44.989
To the worm in the cheese,
the cheese is the universe.

01:19:46.115 --> 01:19:49.743
And to you, dear friend,
what of your universe?

01:19:50.995 --> 01:19:54.039
Is your own world not just as bizarre

01:19:54.331 --> 01:19:55.916
as these we have been visiting?

01:19:57.209 --> 01:20:00.337
Do you now know what is behind the beyond?

01:20:01.922 --> 01:20:03.841
For that matter,

01:20:04.133 --> 01:20:07.553
do you even know what is behind

01:20:07.845 --> 01:20:08.845
the behind?
