GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did.

There is no more quintessential image of Wisconsin than a red barn with a herd of cows grazing in a green field against a blue sky. The state's dairy history is an essential part of the state's culture and economy. All of it is at risk. A confluence of factors are causing many small, family-owned dairy farms to quit, including low milk prices, changing consumer tastes, labor issues and now a pandemic. The industry has been the state's economic engine, generating more than $45 billion a year. But many farmers are at a crossroads of either making big changes or calling it quits.

A former homeless teenager on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, dealing and using drugs, Washington's life took a positive turn when a compassionate judge provided him with an opportunity for rehabilitation instead of a long-term prison sentence. Motivated by this life-altering experience, he committed himself to aiding others on the same path. His organization emerged as a beacon of hope for many, offering a more compassionate alternative to incarceration in addressing the nation's critical drug addiction crisis. A BRIDGE TO LIFE is an exploration of resilience, community, giving back, and triumph over hardship.

This American Land – Farmers Challenge Climate Change; Vanishing Salton (repeat)
Farmers Challenge Climate Change - Farmers and ranchers are among the first to experience climate change. And in Iowa, some are also making every effort to identify it and mitigate it. New generations of agriculture experts are combining nature's gifts of healthy soil and clean water with their ingenuity, to leave their land better than they found it. There are several popular federal programs to help with costs and plans for sustainable upgrades. Vanishing Salton Sea - It used to be a playground for California's rich and famous. But much of the state's largest lake, the Salton Sea, has now dried up and left a toxic mess. The mostly abandoned resort destination has been contaminated by farm runoff and toxic dust, from the lake's brine that's rich with minerals like lithium. The environmental threat is not only to residents, but also to one of the most important wetlands for North American birds. Many efforts have been studied to restore its long-term viability both as an ecosystem and a recreational spot. Forest Habitat For Birds - In Centre County, Pennsylvania, landowners are making changes that could help songbirds with a healthier, more diverse habitat. Birds and other wildlife struggle in many older forests. They thrive in "younger forests," after natural or man-made events, such as fires or logging. We meet some scientists working to restore the sweet sounds so many people enjoy in the woods while birdwatching or hiking.

A SWIM LESSON: Watching a child learn how to swim is like witnessing a great opera. The maestro of this emotional orchestra is Bill Marsh. Swimming is the closest human beings will ever get to flying. And there is no greater joy (or fear) than watching your kid take the leap. Watching Bill teach kids how to swim is the parable we need, because inside his lessons are profound universal truths. STORYCORPS SHORTS: FAMILY HARMONY: When Gilbert Zermeno dreamed of joining his school band, he pictured himself playing a shiny saxophone. To his dismay, his family - getting by on the $100 a week that his father made working in the nearby cotton fields - couldn't afford one. At StoryCorps, he shares with his wife, Patricia Powers-Zermeno, how his musical journey began on a bad note, but ended in harmony.

America's Dairyland: at the Crossroads (repeat)
There is no more quintessential image of Wisconsin than a red barn with a herd of cows grazing in a green field against a blue sky. The state's dairy history is an essential part of the state's culture and economy. All of it is at risk. A confluence of factors are causing many small, family-owned dairy farms to quit, including low milk prices, changing consumer tastes, labor issues and now a pandemic. The industry has been the state's economic engine, generating more than $45 billion a year. But many farmers are at a crossroads of either making big changes or calling it quits. Milwaukee PBS has partnered with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to produce "America's Dairyland at the Crossroads," an hour-long documentary that takes a deeper look at the continuing crisis and the future for farmers, businesses and communities who rely on the dairy industry to survive.

This American Land – Future of Public Lands; 2000 Miles of Opportunity;
Future of Public Lands - Millions of acres of public lands provide sanctuaries for recreation, grazing land for livestock, and energy supplies for the dynamic population of the United States. But a new federal administration is implementing some dramatic changes in how these vast lands are managed. Our host, wildlife biologist Ed Arnett, examines some of the different opinions on how these policy changes are impacting scientists, tourists, ranchers and energy production, both now and into the future. 2000 Miles of Opportunity - From Minnesota south to Tennessee, the Mississippi River Institute is keeping this vibrant waterway clean, and educating new generations on the economic and scientific wealth of this river. Correspondent Brad Hicks introduces us to high school students from rural Missouri who spend time on the water learning about the many challenging environmental careers available up and down the Mississippi. Mapping Wetland Jewels - What traditional cartographers once did with pen and ink, college students are now creating with satellites and software. It's an elegant combination of conservation, creativity and technology. Students at St. Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota make high tech digital maps of wetlands hundreds of miles away. The New Mexico Environment Department hired these young geospatial experts and are now using these new tools to better protect their critical wetlands. Black Farmers - Black farmers in the U.S. once owned about 19 million acres of productive fields. But that's dwindled to just three million acres. The KKAC Organization is helping Black farmers challenge decades of fraud and discrimination tied to the lands they worked on. KKAC is working to provide clear titles to families who never received proper paperwork for their lands. With that proof, residents can finally get some assistance for their fields and forest lands.

From The Archives: Crossroads – Hot Air (repeat)
When is a balloon not a toy? When it's 70 feet tall, 60 feet in diameter, and filled with 105,000 cubic feet of air! "The Vermont Hot Air Balloon" is definitely not a toy, but it does possess a certain enchantment that touches adults and children alike...that attraction that makes you pull over to the roadside just to watch it glide by... the magic that makes you wonder what it's like to be carried by the breeze -- to float in a basket 1,500 feet in the air. The balloon, owned by Rick and Roseann Pollack of Ballooning Adventures of Vermont, Inc., is a one-of-a-kind creation built in 1989. Covered with a multi-colored pastoral landscape designed by renowned Vermont artist Sabra Field, the Pollacks' balloon has become Vermont's first and only "airmark" (as opposed to "landmark"). In our feature segment, we'll talk to the artist responsible for decorating Vermont's unofficial State Balloon and join its owner for a flight over Essex Junction. In the process, we'll learn the actual mechanics of hot-air ballooning and share in the magic of this 200-year-old sport.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square – Shadi Hamid
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

Addressing health disparities is increasingly important as our population becomes more diverse. Never has the disparity in access to healthcare become more obvious than with the pandemic of COVID-19.

Penny: Champion of the Marginalized (repeat)
PENNY is a multi-dimensional portrait of Penny Cooper, a celebrated criminal defense attorney, art collector, supporter of female artists, and protector of the underdog. Cooper's life brims with stories mirroring the profound changes in our country from the 1940s to the present. In this revealing documentary, Cooper proves herself quite the raconteur with seemingly unlimited anecdotes. Her stories are engaging; sometimes funny, and sometimes distressing. The film is a collection of these moments as told by Cooper and the people who have been impacted by her dynamic spirit. The talented lawyer and art enthusiast offers a unique perspective on important social narratives such as criminal justice, the artists and collectors who generate today's global contemporary art market, gender equality, and more. Through it all, she has found herself at the center of dramatic social progress for women. A role model and pioneer, Cooper perhaps owes much of her success in transcending the glass ceiling to her unwavering resilience, fortitude and infamous humility.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

To Begin The World Over Again: The Life of Thoma
All the triumphs and tragedies of Thomas Paine's life are here in this film of the acclaimed one-man play To Begin the World Over Again: the Life of Thomas Paine, shot in front of a live audience at the Lillian Theatre, Hollywood. Thomas Paine, a man largely forgotten and greatly misunderstood, is ironically quoted by all and every political faction in America today. Yet his ideas about democracy, equality, slavery, pensions, healthcare, education and morality would have created a very different kind of nation if they had been acted on. He was a man who changed the world, only to have the world he changed turn its back on him. The man who ignited revolutions would die largely ignored and distained, yet he was at the epicenter of world events when he wrote his books, literally transforming nations through the power of his words. Thomas Paine was one of the world's most provocative writers and worst politicians, a very nearly deadly combination. He lived by the creed that "one must always speak the truth as one sees it, no matter the consequences" and what an extraordinary life it was. It is time to hear and discuss and debate Thomas Paine again, since, as he said, "we have it in our power to begin the world over again".

This American Land – Return of a River; Salmon Farming; Solar Farming;
Return of a River - A waterway near Tucson, Arizona has been reborn. The Santa Cruz river tributary to the Colorado River was once filled with trash and sewage, dried up because wells were draining the aquifer. Now, the water's back! There's an unlikely source for this newly clean water: Three wastewater treatment plants! Correspondent Brad Hicks shows us how huge upgrades at these facilities are helping save an entire ecosystem. The resurgence in wildlife is beautifully seen through a vast array of dragonflies, and folks of all ages are now reconnecting with the river. Salmon Farming - Aquaculture is the fastest growing form of food production in the world. But these floating farms come with challenges not found in traditional agriculture. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien from the PBS Newshour takes us off the coast of Maine, where a Canadian company is raising endangered Atlantic salmon. There's opposition from traditional fishers and tourists. But with the huge global demand for protein from the sea, efforts to improve this industry continue. Solar Farming - It's a "crop" that's harvested from 93 million miles away!!! A Plainview Minnesota farm that grows corn, soybeans and hay now has another sustainable offering: Sunshine! Solar panels now generate the power used in the fall when harvesting and drying grain. It's good for the bottom line and good for the environment. Solar has become a dependable new revenue stream for those who work the land. Solar Panels on Gila Reservation - South of Phoenix Arizona, one tribal nation is on the cutting edge of addressing climate change. The Gila River Indian community are the innovators, building solar panels over an irrigation canal. This simple construction template could provide a new playbook for irrigation across the thirsty western United States. There's not only the ability to produce power, but crucially, to reduce evaporation. The tribe is now completing 16 miles of this energy efficient system.

From The Archives: Crossroads – The Road Once Taken (repeat)
Journey into the fields and forests of Fair Haven and Castleton in search of the largest foreign army to ever occupy Vermont soil. In 1777, during the American Revolution, "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne led an expeditionary force south into New England to divide and conquer the American colonies. Low on horses and supplies and earful of the rebellious colonies to his left flank, Burgoyne sent 3,000 primarily German troops to occupy the territory surrounding Castleton. The European mercenaries marched to their destination by way of a crude cart-track, later to be known as "The Hessian Road." In the 200 years since the events surrounding one of the pivotal chapters of our national heritage, Crossroads joins a history buff and amateur archaeologist during his single-minded search for the footsteps of the Revolutionary War. His search takes us from his study of nearly forgotten documents in town halls and libraries, to an expedition through historic rivers and forests, and finally his conversations with authors and historians -- all key components in an epic five-year search for "The Hessian Road.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square – Michael McFaul
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

The Five Demands
THE FIVE DEMANDS is a riveting story about the student strike that changed the face of higher education. In April 1969, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York, an elite public university located in the heart of Harlem. Although the late 1960s are known as an era of student activism, this momentous event has been overlooked and forgotten. Far more attention has been paid to white middle-class students in opposition to the Vietnam War, yet this protest had a more significant impact: the CCNY strikers were the vanguard of a national Black student movement that transformed the culture, mission, and curriculum of American higher education. CCNY's strike was homegrown in Harlem, America's most famous Black neighborhood. The Harlem community rallied around the students, and for many, it was the first time they ever stepped foot on the neo-Gothic campus on a hill overlooking their neighborhood. National television news covered the strike, but within a few years, this heroic struggle for educational equity was swept under the proverbial rug. Fueled by the revolutionary fervor sweeping the nation, the strike turned into an uprising, leading to the extended occupation of the campus, the cancelation of classes, the arrest of students, and the resignation of the college president. Told through the participants' point of view, the film follows the students' struggle against the institutional racism that, for over a century, had shut out people of color from this institution and other public universities. THE FIVE DEMANDS proves that a handful of ordinary citizens can band together to take action and effect meaningful change. (Additional airings: 1/16 2:00 AM, 1/16 10:00 AM)

Individuals seeking to bridge our human divide share their reparations quests and we begin to understand the myriad of initiatives already happening across the country on local, state & national levels to make reparations a reality.

The Five Demands (repeat)
THE FIVE DEMANDS is a riveting story about the student strike that changed the face of higher education. In April 1969, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York, an elite public university located in the heart of Harlem. Although the late 1960s are known as an era of student activism, this momentous event has been overlooked and forgotten. Far more attention has been paid to white middle-class students in opposition to the Vietnam War, yet this protest had a more significant impact: the CCNY strikers were the vanguard of a national Black student movement that transformed the culture, mission, and curriculum of American higher education. CCNY's strike was homegrown in Harlem, America's most famous Black neighborhood. The Harlem community rallied around the students, and for many, it was the first time they ever stepped foot on the neo-Gothic campus on a hill overlooking their neighborhood. National television news covered the strike, but within a few years, this heroic struggle for educational equity was swept under the proverbial rug. Fueled by the revolutionary fervor sweeping the nation, the strike turned into an uprising, leading to the extended occupation of the campus, the cancelation of classes, the arrest of students, and the resignation of the college president. Told through the participants' point of view, the film follows the students' struggle against the institutional racism that, for over a century, had shut out people of color from this institution and other public universities. THE FIVE DEMANDS proves that a handful of ordinary citizens can band together to take action and effect meaningful change. (Additional airings: 1/15 8:00 PM, 1/16 2:00 AM)

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Thomas Jefferson – Life/Liberty: Our Sacred Honor (repeat)
Thomas Jefferson is by most accounts the most admired and greatest figure in American history. However, he was a man whose behavior in many ways contradicted his public declarations. He supported resistance and revolution in America and France, yet was not a charismatic politician or front-line soldier. His eloquence was immortalized in the Declaration of Independence, which declared that "All men are created equal." He disapproved of the slave trade, yet owned over 200 human beings and had no intention of granting them their freedom. A Renaissance man in his own right, Jefferson was an architect, writer, surveyor, statesman and scientist. In part 1 of Ken Burns' biographical portrait of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's beginnings in Virginia are detailed from his education at William & Mary, the building of Monticello, to his marriage and children. Jefferson is called to Philadelphia as a statesman, and to Paris after the American revolution as an official diplomat. While Jefferson was laying the foundations of a new government and country, his work was tragically interrupted by a series of personal losses at his Monticello home.

Dream Land: Little Rock's West 9th Street (repeat)
Little Rock, Arkansas' West 9th Street was once a vibrant, African-American business and entertainment district. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior, Taborian Hall is the only remaining historic structure on West 9th Street and stands as a living witness to the street's former glory days. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Taborian Hall housed varied and important black businesses, including professional offices, a USO, the Gem Pharmacy and the Dreamland Ballroom. By the 1930s, Dreamland was firmly established as a stop on the "Chitlin Circuit," which showcased regional and national African-American bands, stage shows and performers such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Etta James, Count Basie, T. Bone Walker, and many more. It was also host to local musicians, dances, socials, concerts and sporting events. The documentary DREAM LAND: LITTLE ROCK'S WEST 9TH STREET details the history of this district, the black community in Little Rock and race relations in the city. It also showcases the spirit and hard work of the people who called the neighborhood home, and explores the impact of federal programs such as urban renewal, school desegregation, the Housing Act of 1949, and the Eisenhower Interstate Program.

This American Land – Ruffed Grouse #1; Nature Based Solutions; Sustaini
Ruffed Grouse #1 - Ruffed grouse ...whose drumming mating calls are iconic... have been on a decline for decades. State wildlife agencies, biologists, hunters and bird lovers have launched a coordinated effort to guide conservation efforts throughout the birds' eastern range. Ruffed grouse thrive in "young" forests. These areas provide a variety of food and safety from predators. But most eastern forests are older. Improving the landscape requires some dramatic measures, like logging and prescribed burns. Nature Based Solutions - In Iowa, communities are tackling threats and damage from climate change with tools from Mother Nature. Cities like Dubuque and Cedar Rapids are finding success on several fronts: They are coping with flood control. And they are working with farmers upriver to help protect the quality of their drinking water. Sustaining Snapper There's a huge global demand for seafood. And fierce competition for dwindling fish populations has led to overfishing and threats to some species. Red snapper were overfished for half a century, to the brink of collapse, in Gulf waters. But in Galveston, Texas, professional fishers have found ways to preserve stocks. Working with groups like the Environmental Defense Fund, a new "ultimate sea to table experience" was created in 2007. It's taken a few years, but there are now huge increases in red snapper populations. There's profit to be made in a 100% sustainable way. Raptor Cam - There are no aliens, superheroes, or famous athletes in this TV show. But viewers from Minnesota south to Iowa are mesmerized by the antics of their local feathered friends in this reality show. The Mississippi Flyway Raptor Resource Project operates more than a dozen field cameras that livestream into classrooms, birding chat rooms, and even a lively pub we visited in Fountain City, at the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. Mother Nature proving again to be the finest producer and director around!

Education of Harvey Gantt (repeat)
On January 28, 1963, a young black man from Charleston named Harvey Gantt enrolled at Clemson College, making him the first African American accepted to a white school in South Carolina. The absence of drama or violence surrounding Gantt's enrollment - the result of nearly two years of detailed preparation and planning on the part of college administrators, state politicians and business leaders - made headlines at the time, but soon it faded from the public consciousness. Narrated by Tony-winning actor Phylicia Rashad, THE EDUCATION OF HARVEY GANTT tells this pivotal, yet largely forgotten, story of desegregation. Interviews with Gantt, distinguished scholars and civil rights veterans, and archival footage and reenactment illuminate the events leading up to Gantt's enrollment, the unfolding of entrance day and the impact of Clemson's integration on the state and the nation.

Lincoln School Story (repeat)
THE LINCOLN SCHOOL STORY is a half-hour documentary that examines the little-known fight for school desegregation led by a handful of Ohio mothers and their children in 1954. In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education, school districts nationwide were mandated to integrate. But when African American mothers in Hillsboro, Ohio, tried to enroll their children in the local, historically white schools, the school board refused to comply. Five mothers and their children took the school board to court. With Constance Baker Motley as the lead lawyer, along with help from a fledgling NAACP chapter, they started one of the nation's first civil rights marches to end school segregation. While the lawsuit wound through the courts, the mothers and children marched every day despite threats, cross burnings and job losses. They marched in sun, rain and snow for nearly two years until the mothers won their court case. Their children became the first Black students to attend a high-quality local elementary school. Their judicial victory in the Midwest inspired Black parents in communities across the country.

Marching Forward (repeat)
MARCHING FORWARD shares the story of two high school band directors - one black, one white - whose love of music and dedication to their students inspired an atypical collaboration in the segregated south. Their friendship and professional cooperation resulted in the experience of a lifetime for two Orlando-area bands at the 1964 New York World's Fair. In the early 1960s, the Orlando community and its schools were still segregated. James "Chief" Wilson led the Jones Marching Tiger Band at the city's only black public high school. "Daddy" Del Kieffner directed the all-white Edgewater High School's Marching Eagle Band. Jones's band was regarded as Orlando's best, winning awards and receiving regular invitations to entertain at community and town events. When Edgewater received the sole invitation to perform at the World's Fair, Wilson and Kieffner launched efforts to fundraise simultaneously and campaign elected officials so both student bands could travel to New York. Interviews with former students, Kieffner's children, and Wilson and his family recount this chapter in Orlando's history - both the moments of unity forged in the community, as well as the challenges and inequities of the Jim Crow-era South.

GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Raised/Razed (repeat)
RAISED/RAZED is an hour-long documentary that dives deep into the history of Vinegar Hill - Charlottesville, Virginia's oldest African American neighborhood. Through oral history interviews, the film brings the neighborhood back to life and charts the lives of residents as they faced racially discriminatory policies and a city government that saw them as an obstacle to progress. For 100 years, Vinegar Hill thrived as a center of business, education, and religious and cultural life until it - like hundreds of Black communities across America - was destroyed. The documentary reveals the hard truths of federal urban renewal policies that were implemented in cities and towns across the country and the long-term impacts on communities and families. RAISED/RAZED draws connections between Vinegar Hill and Durham, North Carolina's Hayti neighborhood, which was also destroyed, to show how urban renewal generationally transformed the lives of people across the country. The film leaves viewers with the question of what can be done to reckon with this painful history.

Redlining: Mapping Inequality In Dayton & Spring (repeat)
REDLINING: MAPPING INEQUALITY IN DAYTON & SPRINGFIELD tells the national and local story of redlining, a practice that embedded racial segregation and inequality into the development of American cities and suburbs. Redlining maps, introduced in the 1930s, delineated risk areas for federally-backed mortgages and home-ownership programs. Risk was determined almost entirely by race. In neighborhoods outlined in red, loans were not extended, resulting in wealth, community asset and health inequities that continue to impact communities of color today. This hour-long documentary shares the stories of families impacted by redlining, and examines the lasting effects of lending policies and practices that legally encouraged injustices against non-white Americans.

Story in the Public Square – Caitlin Dickerson
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

American Experience – Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the Naacp
While many consider the birth of the civil rights movement to be1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus, the stage had been set decades before, by activists of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Some of the NAACP leaders are familiar, including W.E.B. Du Bois and Thurgood Marshall, but Walter White, head of the NAACP from 1929 to 1955, has been all but forgotten. With his blond hair and blue eyes, Walter White looked white; he described himself as "an enigma, a Black man occupying a white body." Like virtually all light-skinned African Americans of his day, White was descended from enslaved Black women and powerful white men. But he was Black - by law, identity, and conviction and spent his entire life fighting for Black civil rights. Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the NAACP traces the life of this neglected civil rights hero and seeks to explain his disappearance from our history.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did.

There is no doubt, these objects can be takers of life - but is it possible that giant asteroid impacts were actually essential for the creation of life on Earth NOVA follows a series of discoveries behind a remarkable theory of how the violent destroyers of life could also have created the very special conditions - of chemistry and energy - that made life possible in the first place.

Thomas Jefferson – Liberty:The Age of Experiments/The Pursuit of Happ (repeat)
As one of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson is considered by some to be the man of the millennium, analogous to the progress of the first 200 years of American history. He was a man of freedom and expansion, yet he had the restraint that is necessary to succeed with that freedom - the commitment to becoming learned and skilled. As the third president of the United States, Jefferson was responsible for doubling the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase and for assigning Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to their historic expedition of the West - moves that were symbolic of Jefferson's yearning for personal growth. In this episode, Jefferson's battles with the Federalist movement are explored; as well as his controversial relationship with his slave, Sally Hemings; his retirement to Monticello; and the ensuing personal tragedies that surrounded him towards the end of his life.

This American Land – Meeting A Growing Fire Challenge; Ghost Gear; Heal
Meeting a Growing Fire Challenge - In Colorado, residents are learning the more they invest in protecting their water sources, the safer their communities will be in meeting increased wildfire threats. They are creating more wetland resilience, and working with local water utilities and power companies to protect this crucial resource. This is especially critical work since funding cutbacks in the U.S. Forest Service, and in state funding has many westerners alarmed that the firefighters they need may not be available during dangerous wildfire season. Ghost Gear - Dedicated volunteers on Hart Island in Maine are trying to protect seabirds from deadly abandoned fishing gear. Hundreds of thousands of metal traps are scattered all over the planet. They don't degrade naturally like former traps made of wood. We meet some of the ocean protectors cleaning up, as part of the Center for Coastal Studies. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is among those working for tougher regulations internationally to clean this up. Veteran science correspondent Miles O'Brien of the PBS Newshour introduces us to those working to get rid of these death traps. Healthy Farms ,Cleaner Water - Farms are living systems. Farmers say, do a lot of things right, and production takes care of itself. One Iowa farmer uses rotational grazing, just like bison herds did on their own hundreds of years ago. "Ecological solutions" pay off environmentally and economically. Going above and beyond that, he conducts farming that enhances wildlife. With millions of acres across the U.S., even a little fertilizer and lost topsoil makes a difference in protecting clean waters downstream. Birth of Upper Mississippi River Refuge - What do an out of work liquor salesman and hundreds of motivated suffragettes have in common? They teamed up in the 1920s to create the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. This 260 mile long sanctuary stretches through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. During prohibition, the federal government was about to drain fishing areas on the Mississippi and turn it into farmland. Instead, the newly created "Izaak Walton League" flooded lawmakers with letters saying "not so fast!" Now marking 100 years, the refuge has welcomed millions who have enjoyed these healthy waters.

Children In Crisis: The Story of Chip (repeat)
During one of the nation's worst economic collapses, citizens in Pittsburgh banded together and created America's first health insurance program for the children of working poor families. It was appropriately named, "The Caring Program." On August 5, 1997, a bill sponsored by Senators Orrin Hatch and Edward Kennedy, and largely modeled after The Caring Program, was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It was exactly 13 years, 2 months and 23 days after a group of desperate protesters entered a church on the opposite side of town and asked for the chance to speak. They were heard and helped, and ultimately children's healthcare was revolutionized. The journey of a grassroots community effort to a federal program is testament to the power of listening, caring and working together to achieve a transformative result.

They were heard and helped, and ultimately children's healthcare was revolutionized. The journey of a grassroots community effort to a federal program is testament to the power of listening, caring and working together to achieve a transformative result.

EVA: A-7063 (repeat)
EVA: A-7063 is the incredible true story of an Auschwitz survivor's journey to forgiveness and healing. At the age of 10, Eva Mozes Kor fought to stay alive inside the concentration camp where she and her sister Miriam were being experimented on as one of "Mengele's twins." After decades of torment and pain following her liberation, she came to the epiphany that she needed to forgive the Nazis to move forward with her life. She has since emerged as arguably the best-known and most-active Holocaust survivor in the world. Despite her body failing her, the 4-foot-9, 83-year-old, who lives in Terre Haute, Indiana, circles the globe delivering her messages of healing and self-empowerment. Her lessons go far beyond her own experience, addressing current global atrocities and two of the biggest problems facing today's youth - bullying and discrimination. EVA: A-7063 documents Eva's journey and captures this remarkable Hoosier's legacy as she carries her critically important messages to future generations highlighting the power for good a single dedicated person can have. The documentary serves as a tool for discussing difficult history, discovering shared values and encouraging peace and kindness. Narrated by actor Ed Asner, the film weaves Eva's story through with footage in Poland, Germany, Israel, Romania, England and the United States, along with interviews from CNN's Wolf Blitzer, whose grandparents died in the Holocaust; actor Elliott Gould; and former pro basketball star Ray Allen (a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council). The film also includes interviews with Holocaust historians Dr. Michael Berenbaum and Dr. Stephen D. Smith; Lucette Lagnado, a Wall Street Journal reporter and author of Children of the Flames, which details Dr. Mengele's (Auschwitz's "Angel of Death") life in counterpoint to the lives of the surviving twins; and Emmanuel Habiman, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide who saw his parents murdered when he was 9-years-old.

Resistance: They Fought Back (repeat)
We've all heard of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, but most people have no idea how widespread and prevalent Jewish resistance to Nazi barbarism was. Instead, it's widely believed "Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter." Filmed in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, and the U.S., Resistance - They Fought Back provides a much-needed corrective to this myth of Jewish passivity. There were uprisings in ghettos large and small, rebellions in death camps, and thousands of Jews fought Nazis in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern Europe, Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis.

It's hard to imagine that large meteorites colliding with Earth with the power of 20 Hiroshima bombs can bring anything but cataclysm. Ever since a link was made between meteorite impacts and mass extinctions on Earth, we have feared rogue asteroids destroying our planet. There is no doubt, these objects can be takers of life - but is it possible that giant asteroid impacts were actually essential for the creation of life on Earth NOVA follows a series of discoveries behind a remarkable theory of how the violent destroyers of life could also have created the very special conditions - of chemistry and energy - that made life possible in the first place.

GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square – Patsy Widakuswara
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

Story in the Public Square – Patsy Widakuswara
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

Simon Schama: The Holocaust, 80 Years On (repeat)
In the year marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last concentration camps, renowned historian Sir Simon Schama confronts the history of the Holocaust as not just a Nazi obsession, but as a European-wide crime. In the most personal and unflinching film of his career, Simon visits mass killing sites in Lithuania, the home of his mother's family. He travels to the Netherlands, a nation famed for its long history of tolerance and where he lived and worked as a young historian, to answer the question of why fewer Jews survived here than in any other Western occupied country. And despite a lifetime dedicated to documenting Jewish history, this film also captures the emotional toll of Simon's first ever visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Within all this terror, at every step Simon leans into remarkable acts of resistance, the compulsion of ordinary Jews to document the unprecedented atrocities that were happening to them, in the hope they could never be denied. Featuring an extraordinary interview with 98-year-old survivor Marian Turski, as well as the voices of younger generations determined to ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten, the film also asks profound questions about what the Holocaust means now.

GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.
