Video footage from the KXAS-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth, Texas, to accompany a news story.

An Italian correspondent follows the filming of an Italian television commercial in the Arctic community of Baffin Island to capture the interaction between the Italians and the native Inuit people who star in the commercial. Overcoming language and cultural barriers, the filming of the motor oil commercial was popular enough back in Italy to add an Inuit expression to the Italian vernacular. The segment shows how television can bring two distant cultures closer together and even add a foreign word to a language.

 --LEAD IN--
A JETBLUE FLIGHT IS SET TO TAKE OFF FROM FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA EARLY WEDNESDAY...
DESTINATION: CUBA.
IT WILL BE THE FIRST COMMERCIAL FLIGHT BETWEEN THE U-S AND CUBA IN MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY.
CNN"S PATRICK OPPMANN REPORTS.

 --REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
HAVANA"S COLONIAL OLD TOWN IS FULL OF MUSIC
AND INCREASINGLY VISITORS FROM THE UNITED STATES.
"This is an official newspaper of the Cuban communist party."
JUST TWO YEARS AGO, AMERICANS VISITING CUBA WITHOUT SPECIAL PERMISSION FROM THE U-S GOVERNMENT FACED THE PROSPECT OF HEFTY FINES, EVEN PROSECUTION.
BUT THE THAW IN US-CUBAN RELATIONS AND LOOSENING OF RESTRICTIONS ON TRAVEL TO THE COMMUNIST-RUN ISLAND HAS LED TO A SURGE IN US VISITORS, UP 93% PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR, ACCORDING TO CUBAN GOVERNMENT FIGURES.
MANY AMERICANS SAY THEY WANT TO SEE CUBA WHILE THE ISLAND REMAINS STUCK IN A COLD WAR TIME WARP.
(Gerri Hall, US Citizen Visiting Cuba) "Our friends had been here and said why don"t you come to Cuba before its too westernized?"
(Patrick Oppmann) "Too westernized?"
(Gerri Hall, US Citizen Visiting Cuba) "Before you see McDonalds and Wal Mart and all of the other US companies in Cuba."
CUBA"S LARGELY STATE-RUN TOURISM INDUSTRY IS ALREADY BUCKLING UNDER THE INCREASED DEMAND.
(Tom Popper, Insight Cuba) "The hotels are full, the infrastructure wasn"t ready for the avalanche of interest whether it"s American travelers, Chinese travelers, Canadian travelers. Cuba is building up its infrastructure. They have plans over the next four or five years to add many additional hotels so we just advise people to plan ahead." 
TOURISM WILL LIKELY CONTINUE BOOMING... SOON IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER FOR AMERICANS TO FLY TO THE ISLAND.
(Patrick Oppmann, Jose Marti International Airport) "Up until now, the only way that Americans could come to Cuba was via third countries or on expensive, inefficiently run charter services. That"s all changing, now that direct flight service is being restored between the US and Cuba after more than 50 years."
THE FIRST DIRECT FLIGHT WILL LAND HERE IN SANTA CLARA, CUBA WHERE REVOLUTIONARY ICON CHE GUEVARA IS BURIED. 
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TRACKED DOWN AND KILLED WITH HELP FROM THE C-I-A, CUBAN OFFICIALS SAY GUEVARA WOULD HAVE AGREED WITH THE OPENING TO THE U-S.
(Josefina Vidal, Cuban Foreign Ministry) "So I would say that he was not different from us. Thinking that even with the kind of differences that we have, it"s beneficial for Cuba and the United States to have normal relations."
BENEFITS THAT CAN BE SEEN ON HAVANA STREETS ALREADY PACKED WITH U-S VISITORS.
AS CUBA"S ECONOMY CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE, THE BOOM IN U-S VISITORS IS A RARE BRIGHT SPOT THAT"S ONLY EXPECTED TO GROW.

CUBA TOURISM COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TRAVEL VACATION LEISURE 



2:23 ""Trip to Japan"" by Jane Aaron. Aaron takes us to see Japan. 7:36 Jon Woronoff commentary by Eddie Becker. Woronoff, an author and businessman, talks about foreigners' misconceptions about Japan. ""The reason foreigners are fooled about Japan is because there are two levels of perception in Japan. One is called ""tatumai"" and it means ""illusion,"" or what one likes to consider things being. The other is called ""honei"" and it means ""truth,"" or the way things actually are in practice. When the Japanese speak to foreigners they speak ""tatamai"" - they say that things look better than they really are, that everything in Japan is harmonious, tranquil and peaceful. When they speak to Japanese, they speak ""honei"" - that is, they speak the truth and this is the way it is in their written articles and in the television media."" 10:50 ""The Zenshuji Zendeko Drummers"" by Nancy Cain. A team of Japanese boys play drums in Los Angeles. 11:13 ""Japanese-American Internment."" A look back at the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Featuring a vintage propaganda film starring Ronald Reagan and later footage of him offering reparations to the victims of internment. Frank Emi remembers this dark period of American history. ""Our Civil Rights were stripped away even though Naval Intelligence and FBI had completely cleared Japanese-Americans of any espionage."" He remembers that even liberal politicians like Earl Warren jumped on the bandwagon. ""Reagan's pardon took over 40 years...it took too long!"" yes, but you'd have to research the propaganda film 16:19 ""The Zenshuji Zendeko Drummers ""by Nancy Cain. 23:18 ""Trip to Japan ""by Jane Aaron. In Hiroshima, Aaron searches for a Western-style toilet. 25:44 Paul Igasaki commentary by Eddie Becker. Igasaki warns of a resurgence of anti-Japanese prejudice or ""Japan bashing"" in the United States. 27:44 May 1990 commercial by the Tri-State Pontiac Dealers Association urging Americans not to buy Japanese cars. 2 8:15 Paul Igasaki commentary by Eddie Becker. Igasaki shows us examples of anti-Japanese imagery in American advertising. 29:42 Oklahoma commercial. Businessmen from Chickasha, OK, advertise free land to Japanese businessmen to move an industry to their town. 30:32 Jon Woronoff continues to dispel myths about Japan. ""Not all Japanese companies offer lifetime employment, only the large Japanese companies don't lay off workers. Small companies, on the other hand, have to fire massive numbers of people."" 32:07 Ralph Nader commentary by Eddie Becker. Nader decries the failure of American capitalism. ""In 1980, the top executives of Fortune 300 companies were earning forty-five times what entry level employees were earning. Today it's ninety times as much. In Japan, the head of Toyota earns eight times what an assembly plant worker earns. We've had a massive failure of our managerial class here in the U.S."" 32:38 Images from Japanese automated assembly lines. 40:00 Japanese girl eats in some sort of a petting zoo. 40:43 ""Doug Michels on Japanese TV."" Michels is seen on Japanese TV talking about his projects such as Cadillac Ranch, an art piece done by The Ant Farm, and Bluestar, a futuristic think tank in space, and a proposal for a 50's-style theme park, Cadillac Fin, in Japan. ? 49:29 ""Trip to Japan"" by Jane Aaron. Public transportation. 49:50 More Jon Woronoff commentary. ""The worst New York subway situation is nothing compared to Japan. In Japan , the subways are filled to four or five times capacity. They actually have ""pushers"" - people who push passengers into the trains. It's mind-boggling. Japanese people travel this way day in and day out. Americans couldn't stand it. They would get claustrophobic."" 51:54 ""Trip to Japan - Peace Park in Hiroshima"" by Jane Aaron. Over visuals of Hiroshima's Memorial Park, Harry S. Truman's voice explains the dropping of the Atom bomb. ""I never had any qualms about it. I wanted to end the war in victory with the least possible loss of U.S. lives. The bomb was just another piece of artillery, and as Napoleon once said, 'The Lord is on the side with the heaviest artillery.'"" Truman's nonchalance is contrasted heavily with the testimonial of a Japanese woman describing the death of their countrymen from radiation poisoning. probably. Ask us first. 54:49 Ronald Reagan acts in more U.S. government industrial films. 55:47 ""The Zenshuji Zendeko Drummers"" by Nancy Cain plays under credits.

In 1935, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's niece Leila Roosevelt Denis and her husband Armand Denis, embarked on a journey across Africa in a Dodge car, starting in Belgium, driving across France and Spain, to Spanish Morocco, and then driving the full length of the continent southward. Leila Roosevelt had previously driven 24,000 miles around the world in 1933-34. The trip was made with Dodge trucks carrying cameras and Dodge cars. "Wheels Across Africa" is a record of that trip, released by Dodge as a promotion in 1936. The pair also made "Wheels Across India" which is also part of the Periscope Film archive.<p><p>This film includes rare footage of the French Foreign Legion.<p><p>Armand Georges Denis (2 December 1896 – 15 April 1971) was a Belgian-born documentary filmmaker. After several decades of pioneering work in filming and presenting the ethnology and wildlife of remote parts of Africa and Asia, he became best known in Britain as the director and co-presenter of natural history programmes on television in the 1950s and 1960s, with his second wife Michaela.<p><p>Denis married André Roosevelt’s daughter Leila (1906-1976) who was fourteeen years younger than him; they went on to have four children (Rene, David, Armand & Heidi Ann). In 1934-35, sponsored by the Belgian government, the couple travelled to the (then) Belgian Congo with the cinematographer Leroy G. Phelps, to record sound film material suitable for use in African movies. They recorded a wide variety of footage, including the first film of the music and dances of the Mangbetu and Tutsi (Watusi) peoples. The soundtracks were released as commercial recordings, and the movie material, from the Congo and the Sahara, was edited for release as Wheels Across Africa in 1936, and as Dark Rapture in 1938.<p><p>Armand and Leila continued to work together on short documentaries through the late 1930s, and in 1944 put together the movie Dangerous Journey covering their travels in Africa, India and Burma.<p><p>However, in 1948, Armand Denis met British dress designer Michaela Holdsworth in New York. They began an affair and, after he and Leila divorced, Armand and Michaela married in Bolivia.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
