Custodial History
Collection acquired from Sunrise Media, a television production company in New York City. Sunrise acquired these films in the late 1980's from a company called The Corporation for Entertainment and Learning (CEL). Sunrise had heard of the political documentaries that CFA holds and thought their films would complement CFA's holdings.
