More Great Georgians from the Georgia Center Collection
The Carl Sanders program is the first production of the recently reborn Great Georgians series. Plans are underway to add more titles soon. The initial documentaries of this series were produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s and profile the lives and careers of some of the great contemporary men and women of the State of Georgia. Each 30-minute film features archival footage and interviews with the people who knew these outstanding individuals. The videos are available for $19.95 each.
