New Release! "Escape" New DVD Grades 7-12

Discover our Compelling New Release!


"In South Korea, everyone is entitled to have a dream."—Dae Sung Kim


To feed his family in North Korea, Dae Sung Kim illegally traded goods across the border with China, and was put on a government watch list. To save himself, he had to flee south. Life in South Korea was much different. In North Korea, there were times he went without food for a whole week and his only dream was to eat a stomach-full. In South Korea, he found plentiful food and a place where people had bigger dreams. Dae Sung Kim became a venture capitalist for other North Korean refugees, helping them start businesses and transform their dreams into reality.  Learn how Korea became two very different countries divided by the 38th Parallel. Hear Kim's story of Escape!from North Korea, and how he hopes to one day return to his former homeland. For more information, go to http://www.izzit.org/home_offers/escape/index.php.

Pups of Liberty Producers/Animators Visit Us!


Jennifer & Bert Klein, producers/directors/lead animators of our "Pups of Liberty: Boston Tea-Bone Party" DVD, are in town today, visiting our offices. This morning they spoke to a group of 5th graders at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in Erie, PA. Here are some pictures of them from the trip. The kids were spellbound by Pups, and they were treated to a sneak-peek at the next Pups of Liberty, which we're working on now. "Pups of Liberty: The Dogclaration of Independence" should be released next fall! The Kleins also taught the students the basics of animation.


This is the Kleins before the presentation.


This is just after the students finished viewing Pups of Liberty. They were absolutely spellbound by the video!


We gave away several copies of the video to students. Jen & Bert autographed them for the kids.

It was a fantastic opportunity for us, and we're very thankful to Grover Cleveland Elementary school, and all of the 5th grade teachers, especially Ms. Conrad!
