The video I got has the "Who's Out There" short, which has clips of Carl Sagan and others, and is then followed by the more interesting (to me) 25-minute film called "Life Beyond Earth", which the clips were taken from. "Life Beyond Earth" is a discussion of (mostly) scientists about how life may evolve in the universe, civilizations more advanced than ours, etc. Even though we have learned a lot since this was made, it doesn't really seem dated and is inspiring to watch.
I got this mainly because Carl Sagan is in it, but all the other speakers were interesting too. Carl is as usual casual, charming, funny, completely interested in the topic. I wish his lectures would have been recorded more often like Richard Feynman's were, for its great to see/hear him speak.
This is a great video, and if you want to see Sagan especially look for the release which includes "Life Beyond Earth", because he is only briefly in "Who's Out There". Still, "Who's Out There" is good too. Lots of interesting historical stuff, some great spaced-out visuals and interesting thoughts.
