  Civilian Conservation Corps: American Experience [#2201]
  Part 2 of "The 1930s," a five-part strand that examines America's response to the unprecedented economic crisis, high unemployment, and environmental catastrophe that threatened the nation during one of history's most tumultuous decades. In March 1933, within weeks of his inauguration, President Franklin Roosevelt sent legislation to Congress aimed at providing relief for the one out of every four American workers who were unemployed. He proposed the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to provide jobs in natural resource conservation. Over the next decade, the CCC put more than three million young men to work in the nation's forests and parks, planting trees, building flood barriers, fighting fires, and maintaining roads and trails. This film tells the story of one of the boldest and most popular New Deal experiments, positioning it as a pivotal moment in the emergence of modern environmentalism and federal unemployment relief. duration 56:16   CC STEREO DVI TVG

  Going On 13
  This program takes an unflinching look into the face of modern-day puberty through the eyes of four urban girls of color living in California's Bay Area. The film, shot over four years, enters the worlds of Ariana, Isha, Rosie and Esme as they negotiate the precious, precarious moments between girlhood and young womanhood. Cameras travel with the girls - an African-American, a Mexican-American, a mixed-race Latina and an immigrant from India - from their elementary school, where double-Dutch and hand-games rule, to the crowded and noisy halls of middle school, where they deal with the realities of a compromised sex-ed curriculum, Internet chat rooms and malicious gossip. Using a mix of intimate interviews, cinema verite and stop-motion animation, this film chronicles the girls' coming of age: their blossoming desires and growing sense of responsibility, their hopes for the future, their difficulties learning to love themselves and their escalating tugs-of-war with their parents. duration 56:44   CC STEREO DVI TVPG

  Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie [#218]
  Aromas: Fragrance and Taste
  Come with us as we fan out across the world to meet with chefs and scientists who are exploring the importance of aromas, proving that the fragrance of a dish does not come only from the ingredients it contains. At the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, we talk with a "taste scientist" who demonstrates the crucial role that aromas play in our enjoyment of food. In the French countryside, we meet a chef who enlivens the dining experience with a wide range of aromas hand-picked from the garden just outside his door. And in the Gourmet kitchen, we'll share a technique for cooking fish and still having your kitchen smell delicious. duration 26:46   CC STEREO TVG

  Smart Travels - Europe With Rudy Maxa [#212]
  Renaissance Europe
  Travelers adore Italy, and Italy adores the Renaissance. In this half-hour, we follow Western Europe's transition from medieval to modern times by exploring the arts and ambiance of that vibrant period. In Florence, Milan and Venice, we find works by Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and Titian. Side-tripping to France's lush Loire Valley, we visit Renaissance castles and abbeys, including the timeless haunts of Amboise, Chenonceau, and a few less-traveled chateaux along the way.

  Priscilla's Yoga Stretches [#130]
  The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30-minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate. duration 13:45   CC

  Mexico - One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless [#707]
  The Soul of Mole
  Mole is an idea that's half pre-Columbian, half European, and 100% Mexican - a sauce, a preparation and a national dish that rivals the culinary masterpieces of the world's greatest cuisines. Rick and his daughter, Lanie, set off on a culinary journey to explore the mysteries of mole that takes them from the mile-high piles of dried chiles in Mexico City's vast La Merced market to stalls selling towering mounds of concentrated mole paste. Back in Chicago, they're on a mission to make mole from scratch. It's an all-day labor of love to be sure, but Rick breaks the complex process down into easy steps, giving tips on all the ingredients - from sesame seeds and tomatillos to chiles and chocolate - that give mole its richly layered flavor. As the sauce simmers over a wood fire in the backyard, Rick and Lanie use some of it to make a succulent Laquered Chicken in Classic Red Mole and whip up some Classic Mexican White Rice with Sweet Plantains and a Mexican crudite platter. As the sun sets, family and friends gather in the garden for a taste of true Mexican soul food: homemade mole in all its slow-simmered glory. duration 26:46   CC STEREO TVG

  Nova [#3613]
  Becoming Human: First Steps
  A comprehensive 3-part series investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with stunning animation, the product of a unique Nova collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators.
  Part 1: The first hour examines the factors that caused the split from the apes. The film explores the fossil of "Selam," also known as "Lucy's Child" - an amazing, nearly complete child fossil that helps shed light on our ancestors' early development and how we began to depart from that of chimps. Paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged, who discovered "Selam," spent 5 years carefully excavating the sandstone-embedded fossil grain by grain. Nova's cameras are there to capture the unveiling of the face, spine and shoulder blades of the oldest known child fossil, 3.3 million years old. And, for the first time, Nova takes viewers "inside the skull" to show how our ancestors' brains had begun to change from those of the apes. duration 56:11   STEREO DVI TVPG

  Frontline [#2605]
  The Medicated Child
  Ten years ago, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall were the drugs of choice to treat behavioral issues in children. Today children as young as four years old are being prescribed more powerful anti-psychotic medications that are much less understood. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. The increase in the use of anti-psychotics is directly tied to the rising incidence of one particular diagnosis -bipolar disorder. Experts estimate that the number of kids with the diagnosis is now more than a million and rising. As the debate over medicating children continues to grow, Frontline producer Marcela Gaviria confronts psychiatrists, researchers and big pharma about the risks and benefits of prescription drugs for troubled children. duration 56:26   CC STEREO DVI
