New on DVD for the first time! January 2006. With new and improved titles and sub-titles.Dean Reed was an international superstar in much of the world. His records sold millions and his films were the biggest box office hits behind the iron curtain. This film traces his odyssey from Denver to Hollywood, from South America to Helsinki, from Italy to Russia and finally to Berlin. It explores Reed's career as singer, actor, writer, director and political activist. His story is told in his own words, music, film clips, and archives from around the world. Included are interviews with his mother Ruth Anna Brown, his father Cyril Reed, acting coach Paton Price, Hollywood friend Phil Everly, wife Renate Blume and others. This 1985 cult classic was filmed in the USA, Chile, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Russia and the Middle-East. AMERICAN REBEL was completed some six months before Reed's mysterious death in 1986, at the height of the Cold War. Despte his world fame he remains relatively unknown in his homeland, the USA. In English, segments in other languages (Spanish, Italian, German and Russian) are subtitled in English. Please note AMERICAN REBEL is available in NTSC format only (USA and Canada) at this time. International buyers should check to make sure that the USA format will work on their equipment.

More precise data on the DVD October 31, 2009
StarryNight (Saint-Petersburg, Russia)

I like Dean Read very much. Yesterday I even saw a guy very alike him, but I was not sure to come to him. May be he was Dean's son?
But I would like to say some on the DVD data on site.
It is stated:'Language: English, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish'. I have expected the movie completely tarnslated into Russian, having 5 different audio tracks. But alas! Only a person, knowing English can watch it, understanding all movie. Where there are other languages besides English, there are given hard subtitles. But no Russian subtitles or a Russian audio track.
So do not be misled with this given on site data on languges. Five languages, but patrtially in different places of the movie. Hard English subs on shots with not English language. Only one audio track. That's it.
Good memory about Dean Reed October 25, 2009

I am Ukrainian guy and American citizen since 2004.
In spite of some disadvantages I'd say, "It was good documentary movie". Disadvantages are no option to turn subtitles ON/OFF and no scene selection feature.
(I wanted subtitles because sometimes I do not catch some words. English is not native language for me.)
However I understand that Ohio River Films did not have a good budget.
I liked listening songs performing by Dean Reed on radio or TV in my late teenager years. (It was beginning of 80-s. I did live in Kiev, Ukraine.) I listened the information about this man from different news. I watched movies "Blood Brothers" and "Sing, Cowboy, Sing" made in German Democratic Republic (It is Eastern Germany.) and translated into Russian. In the United States I rented movie "Adios Sabata."
However this movie, which is "American Rebel", told me much more about him.
"I don't believe the Soviet culture is an enemy to the American people," Dean Reed said. I like he said, "Soviet" not like ignorant people who say, "Russians."
Probably the confusion was the Russian Federation was a biggest republic of the Soviet Union and sometimes residents of other Soviet republics were called Russians, which was not correct. (An example is Ukraine was the Soviet republic but not Russian republic in time of the Soviet Union.) So I liked Dean knew what he said. I am ex Soviet man and agree that Soviets were not enemies to Americans.
Dean Reed said, "I think all people should have a right to see the culture of other forms, nationalities and countries and also defend own culture at the time." I think it is important for average American even now.
I was also impressed when I listened interview about Dean's Reed attitude to religions. We could understand that Dean was an Atheist. However being an Atheist he did not blaspheme. And also, he believed in things that all world religions did. (It means a peace, goodness, and cooperation between nations, ultimate truth, making life better place for men.)
Dean Reed is no longer with us but this movie is a good memory about him.
Although it is not first documentary movie about Dean Reed in the world but
this is the first one created by an American representative. Will Roberts and his assistants from different countries have done a good job.

As a university music professor who teaches a class about the history of popular music, I was rather surprised and intrigued to come upon the story of Dean Reed. I must admit, I had never heard of him. When I travel I always try to visit local museums, grave sites, etc., that relate to popular music, and when recently planning to visit Denver, CO, Reed's name began to appear in my on-line searches. For those who like a good story with lots of twists, Reed's is one to explore. It's amazing (to me) the kind of career he had. Do the same conditions exist today to produce another person like Reed? In many ways, he predates artists like Bono, who realize life is not about taking, but about giving. Very interesting DVD. Get the books, as well!

The film reflects the story of an amazing American hero called Dean Reed who travelled the world singing and promoting world peace. The film is a documentary which talks about his life and his political journey. Unfortunately he was much more popular outside of the US than inside and he was often threaten by American reactionary elements who never accepted his left wing views.
A must see for progressive thinkers.

This is an accurate picture of Dean Reed's life and life in general behind the "Iron Curtain". This documentary is kept plain and simple and to the point, no opinionated propaganda, just the life of an American socialist (not communist - that is two different things)who lived and stood for and fought for his ideas. Every-day life in (mostly) East Germany is shown through this film. This is a historical document, that perfectly captured the images of the past, a past that is also my own past.
