Young Indiana Jones Debuts on DVD
* Journey of Radiance: A jaunt through the mystical Far East takes Indy to the Holy City of Benares where he befriends the lonely and isolated young leader of the Theosophy movement, Jiddu Krishnamurti.

In the process he shows Indy just how strong the power of faith can be.
