I am seeking a copy (DVD or VHS, NTSC or PAL) of BBC Documentary
entitled, "Dangerous Gifts" about the influence of Western Culture on
the rest of the world.  I saw this documentary on television in
Barbados in appx. 1987.

Hi,

It turns out that this video is actually at several dozen libraries. 
If you give me your approximate location, I could point you toward the
copies closest to you.

Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Hello.

"Dangerous Gifts" was Part 1 of a BBC Series called "The Triumph of the West."

Your best bet is to head up to Boston.

The Boston Public Library has three copies available for 7-day loan:

search strategy:
Google
"dangerous gifts" bbc documentary
"triumph of the west" "dangerous gifts"

I then used the WorldCat database via my public library to find
libraries in Mass. that had the video.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.  Excellent work.
