Presented by VIZ Pictures

VIZ Pictures celebrates its first Blu-ray release “Death Note Collection”. The 3-disc set includes the films Death Note and Death Note II: the Last name plus a bonus DVD with 2 hours of behind-the-scenes footage!

It’s a battle of wits. Law student Light is upset with the justice system and when he finds the Death Note dropped by a death god, he vows to rid the world of evil. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies. As criminals all over the world begin to mysteriously die, a world-renowned detective known only as ‘L’ is put on the case to stop this serial killer that the public calls ‘Kira’. The battle between Light and L continues in Death Note II: The Last Name as Light joins the investigation team. L suspects Light of being Kira while Light attempts to learn L’s real name. Time becomes even more crucial with the appearance of a second Kira. Whose name will be the last written in the Death Note?

9/11: Press For Truth
followed by Q & A with filmmaker
(Directed by Ray Nowosielski, 2006, 75min, Digital, English Language)

The political becomes personal in 9/11: Press for Truth, which examines the World Trade Center attacks from the perspective of the families that lost loved ones. Written and directed by Ray Nowosielski, the documentary draws partly from Paul Thompson’s website-turned-book, The Terror Timeline, and much of the commentary comes from Lorie Van Auken, Patty Casazza, and Mindy Kleinberg, three of the 911 widows “Jersey Girls.”

Hypothesis
followed by Q & A with filmmaker
(Directed by Brett Smith, 2010, 48 min, Digital, English Language)

Hypothesis is a short documentary on Dr. Steven Jones and his 9/11 research on the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7. The film tells Dr. Jones’ story in his own words and reflects the explosive controversy that ensued which resulted in everything from threats and bribes to academic suspension.
