The Federal Reserve: Does Money Matter?
So my dad brought up the fact that my mom's father (who died in '70) did a documentary on the Federal Reserve, and that he had to watch it in school when he was getting a business degree. My dad never knew my grandpa made a film, but at the end credits, it showed "Produced by John C. Sutherland." The conversation went on for a good 30 to 40 minutes when my dad mentioned that he was never able to find the film after that day. He researched trying to find it in libraries, on the Internet, etc. ever since that day. Ha, so I searched in Google "Federal Reserve Documentary John Sutherland." Oh my goodness, after 10 pages of results, I finally found, on Berkley's website, a list of the videos they show in their Economics class, and "The Federal Reserve: Does Money Matter? A John C. Sutherland film." Sadly, though, it did not let you order the video. So I kept researching, and found another website that offer the video for sale. But when I went to order it, PBS (the site selling it) had retired that page. They did supply the number for them to still order it. So, again I continued to search the Internet for any type of info on it. As I looked at the web addresses, the majority of them happened to be universities. I'm wondering if the UW's library might have the tape. But, not one person in my family actually attends the school, so I guess I wont be finding out.

Hey, Will does, so I could ask him.
that'd be nice. Justin went and did it, but maybe Will might have better luck, seeing as he goes to the Seattle campus, and not the Bothel one... but that also might not have any effect at all.
