ABC News 20/20 Freeing Keiko
Manufacturer: ABC News
It was one of those magical movie moments, a homeless boy bonds with a 5-ton orca in the film "Free Willy" and helps the killer whale escape from unscrupulous keepers and return to the wild. But that ending was Hollywood fiction. When audiences, including millions of children, learned that the animal that played Willy was an orca named Keiko who was confined to a shallow pool in Mexico, they started a campaign to free him. And that, say some experts, was taking Hollywood too far. As the public began to campaign for Keiko's release, the movie studio hired Dave Phillips, a marine mammal activist, to monitor Keiko's rehabilitation and spearhead the effort to return the whale to the wild. No one had ever undertaken such a project, but Phillips said he knew he had to give it a shot. When Phillips saw Keiko in his pool in Mexico, the orca was underweight and suffering from papilloma virus. Keiko was moved to a specially built tank in Oregon where he swam in sea water for the first time since infancy. Within a year and a half, he'd gained 2,000 pounds and his skin virus had disappeared.

ABC News Nightline America in Black and White: A Question of Identity
Manufacturer: ABC News
How do you define race? Is it the color of your skin, the type of hair, or the way you live your life? Is your race defined by society or by scientists or by how you see yourself?

Manufacturer: ABC News
They honor the nation's fallen. Standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknowns, and providing the honor guards for all of the funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. They are the Old Guard.

It is a rigid routine, timed out to the second, and it is quietly moving. ABC News introduces viewers to these soldiers, and take you inside their world.

ABC News Nightline Autism: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Manufacturer: ABC News
Jake and Andrew are quite similar in many ways -- both adored by their parents -- and both diagnosed with autism while they were in pre-school. Both Jake and Andrew received an expensive, intensive and to some, a controversial therapy known as Applied Behavioral Analysis or ABA. It's not a cure for autism. However, applied early, the intensive and highly-structured teaching of skills can work minor miracles and over a long period of time, can have a dramatic impact on learning skills and social interaction. ABC News correspondent John Donvan explores how this treatment is being hailed as one of the few known keys to unlock the mysterious doors of autism.When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
