Giants: Friend or Foe

Description: "They appear in every culture throughout history. They can be symbols of the fear felt by a besieged minority, the hope of a people living on the edge of an unexplored wilderness, the nearly limitless possibility of man to do good, and countless other things. They are GIANTS, and this is an entertaining, enlightening exploration of their world, as we have created it through the ages. From real-life figures like Andre the Giant and the former basketball player George Muresan (who stands 7'7"), to authors Carol Rose (Giants, Monsters & Dragons) and Paul Robert Walker (Big Men, Big Country), GIANTS: FRIEND OR FOE plunges into the myths, legends and realities of these imposing figures. Examine the role that famous tales like David & Goliath and Paul Bunyan played in their respective cultures. Hear from director Ray Harryhausen, who helmed the legendary films Gulliver's Travels and Clash of the Titans, and see how the existence of real-life giants is far less romantic than it is for their fictional counterparts."
