  Unearthing Secret America
  The great arc of early American history is brought to life through three tremendous archeological finds: Jamestown fort reveals the struggles of the colonists; slave quarters at Monticello and Williamsburg introduce viewers to a secret world for the first time; and the recently discovered Confederate submarine, Hunley - which carried out the world's first successful submarine attack and then failed to return - brings the Civil War into vivid close up. duration 56:46   CC STEREO DVI 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

  Gearing Up
  Every year, 35,000 high-school students from around the United States participate in an engineering contest sponsored by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). This program documents the 4-month-long national competition, one in which students must combine quick wits, hard work and strategic thinking in order to succeed. Cameras follow each robotics team from the moment officials announce game details (a highly guarded secret) through a six-week "build" period and finally through the regional competitions. Along the way, team members and mentors narrate their personal stories, allowing viewers to share in their struggles, growth and progress towards their educational, personal and competition goals. Featured teams include: an all-girls team from inner-city Baltimore as they introduce an engineering program into their school; a group of incarcerated young offenders in Colorado looking to set their lives right through the FIRST competition; perennial champions from Pennsylvania and a Missouri team which embraces technological opportunities in the shadow of manufacturing layoffs in the region. This film is about one generation teaching another about life, science and teamwork. It's about the beginnings of some journeys and the end of others. duration 56:46   CC STEREO TVG
