Plot (short): Documentaries about origins of those holidays and how they are celebrated today (USA and GB). There are also similar (related) documentaries from FWU like Thanksgiving - Pilgrims and Turkeys (42 min), Christmas in the USA and England (134 min). Obviously some episodes here are abridged. There's "Halloween - Roots and Images" (60 minutes) and Halloween 29 min.. I think all in both English and German versions. Of course, there are also lots of other documentaries from FWU, mainly about Geography. Two interesting ones, I read for the 1st time are "School Life in England" and "Teen Life in Britain". Infos and pics on fwu-mediathek, but the (demo) clips don't work anymore.
