Sample Programs
Butterfly
“Butterfly” is a visually rich and exciting new documentary about one of the world’s most beautiful and mysterious creatures: the Monarch butterfly. Nowhere in nature is there a more powerful mix of scientific marvel, awesome beauty and epic struggle for survival.
Inside the Spy Factory
Based on the latest best-seller by journalist James Bamford, “Inside the Spy Factory” is a gripping investigation of the NSA, from its tragic failures leading up to the 9/11 attacks to its secret listening rooms currently installed in the nation’s telecom networks. The program presents groundbreaking new evidence about how the agency listened in to the phone calls of key 9/11 plotters, yet failed to realize they were located in the U.S.
The Big Energy Gamble
The latest public opinion polls show that a vast majority of Americans believe the world is facing a global climate crisis. We are willing to pay more for “cleaner energy,” and we want our government to take appropriate action to mitigate the crisis, but we don’t have a clue what those actions should be or how the various energy “solutions” we hear about can help.
