What happened to DVD of "Iran: Seven Faces of a Civilization"?

I went to order it from sunrisefilmco.com and the site is not there. Amazon is not carrying it anymore either.

Amazon has "Persepolis Recreated" (The first title by Farzin Rezaian), but it says it is no longer available.

What happened? Where can I get this DVD? Did they go out of business or get banned?

Hey! Is that Saddam or Darius ?

YAWN! Just what the world need now. Another TRUE story of Alexander the Great called "The True Story of Alexander the Great by Professor Peter Woodward" on History International.

Here's a screen shot of how Darius III is portrayed. It's a dead ringer for Saddam complete with beard, kaffeyah, and the douerest swarthiness.

I miss Feraydoon Farrokhzad badly

What a man we lost in our times. Just watch the videos at the bottom and tell me you didn't love him:

He is my idea of the ideal Persian in these times. He loved his land and people. He laughed, he sang, he loved and he made everybody feel good and proud.

The most amazing thing about his life story, to me, is that he was sometimes belittled because it was said he was a homosexual! That's odd because he was the bravest man I know after the revolution.
