The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
This documentary follows doctors and medics as they treat wounded soldiers inside a military hospital in Baghdad during the Iraq War. It shows the chaos of the emergency room and the price of war on the human body.

What happens
Baghdad ER is a documentary released by HBO on May 21, 2006. It shows the Iraq War from the perspective of a military hospital in Baghdad. It has some relatively disturbing scenes in it (e.g. amputations), therefore the U.S. Army is officially warning that military personnel watching it could experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After being given a Peabody Award, the show was featured in the April 13, 2007 broadcast of NPR's Fresh Air. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
