# Bermudian Historical Doc Recieves Hometown Stamp of Approval 

The Janson Media DVD [*The Lion and the Mouse: The Story of America and Bermuda*](http://www.janson.com/dvdcatalog/2010/07/13/the-lion-and-the-mouse-the-story-of-america-and-bermuda/) (1 x 153') was recommended in a recent review by the Bermuda Sun. The award winning film is recognized by the hometown paper for its captivating dramatizations that bring the extensive history of the tropical territory to life.

> *&' Bermuda"s 400-year history brought vividly to life&' &'Film maker Lucinda Spurling does our fascinating 400 year history complete justice&' &'Meticiously researched&' &'Ms. Spurling does not hold back... contributions are cleverly weaved together to make an engaging story.&' - Sarah Lagan, Bermuda Sun*

Narrated by Michael Douglas, *The Lion and the Mouse* looks back at the birth of America and the deciding conflicts and characters that have shaped the last four centuries as the intriguing relationship between Bermuda and America evolved.

Caught up in a succession of wars, Bermuda found itself on both sides of the mid Atlantic gauntlet. Isolated by location, the island embodied the necessary reinvention and adaptability to prosper in a changing Atlantic world, from saving the colonialists of Jamestown and robbing the British armory on the island, to running the Union blockade in the Civil War as soldiers fighting for &'Glory.&' Right or wrong Bermuda has played an instrumental role in the history of the American States, continuing through two World Wars and the Cold War, where Bermuda evolved from a hotbed of counter espionage, into the front line of US coastal defense.
