J.R.R. Tolkien-BBC dvd

 48 minutes long

This DVD interviews various people who interacted with Tolkien or were influenced by his works (his publisher's son who told his dad to publish The Hobbit, Tolkien's biographer, Christopher Tolkien, artists, environmentalists, societies, children who love his books etc.) I loved viewing the places where Tolkien lived and worked. They also had video clips of Tolkien himself! 

It was first filmed in 1998.

I would not show this to elementary age kids (it probably would not hold their interest anyway) since one interviewee mentions sex (the absent of it Tolkien's books) and people tripping on acid.

-Borrowed from the library.

I cannot find a photo of it that I can copy and paste.
