To accompany the DVD version of his Emmy-winning 1990s TV series The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, George Lucas has been producing documentaries about the world history addressed in the series. The films include interviews with Henry Kissinger, Gloria Steinem, Deepak Chopra, plus top academics—including Skidmore’s Chuck Joseph, music.
