amazing determination

This DVD was very educational. It showed what the problem was and what he had to go through to solve the problem using what was available back in his time.The determination considering it took almost his life time to do it and how he was almost depribed of his prize once he acomplished it. The closing statement of how modern GPS units still depend on his method of knowing where we are today was so fitting. I really enjoyed watching this from begining to the end.

Lost at Sea: The Search for Longitude.

misleading information

I bought Lost at Sea from Amazon. I live in Poland in Europe. I did not expect that the film is only for region 1. There was no information about it. On the shoppbs.org page there is no such information too. I lost a lot of money and I can not see the movie. Any suggestion?
