Does anyone here remember the Societies black and white "docudrama" that came out in the 60's? I believe it was on national telivision. I can still see a scene or two, but don't remember the name or premis.

The motion picture "Heritage," also produced by the Watch Tower Society in 1966, dealt with the various temptations faced by young persons today. However, Angelo C. Manera, Jr., remarks that it showed "what the youth of the New World society were doing and how they were overcoming these temptations and following a Christian course of action." Unique in that it had a sound track, unlike other recent movies produced by the Society, it was shown by many television stations. So, thousands viewed it in their homes. "Heritage" also was presented at circuit assemblies and other public gatherings.
I have a copy on DVD. I copied it to VHS and then to DVD. Its a riot. There are some very nice sentiments in it. I was around seven or 8 when it was on TV in the SF Bay Area.

Thank you Wasa, that's the one. I wonder how Angelo is doing. Dynamic speaker. One of the few that would keep me awake when I was a youngster.
