1:00 amA Sense of Wonder This film is a portrait of pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson as she battles cancer and her critics in the wake of publishing the 1962 bestseller "Silent Spring." Using many of Carson's own words, Kaiulani Lee embodies this extraordinary woman in this documentary style film, which depicts Carson in the final year of her life. Struggling with cancer, Carson recounts with both humor and anger the attacks by the chemical industry, the government and the press as she focuses her limited energy to get her message to Congress and the American people. In Bill Moyers' introduction to the film, he notes that Carson was posthumously awarded America's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In his words, "it's hard to overstate Carson's impact on our world today." "A Sense of Wonder" was shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler at Carson's cottage on the coast of Maine. duration 55:16 STEREO TVG

2:00 amMoyers & Company [#110H] How Big Banks Are Rewriting The Rules of Our Economy Big banks are rewriting the rules of our economy to the exclusive benefit of their own bottom line. But how did our political and financial class shift the benefits of the economy to the very top, while saddling us with greater debt and tearing new holes in the safety net?
This weekend on an encore episode, Bill Moyers talks with former Citigroup Chairman John Reed and former Senator Byron Dorgan to explore a momentous instance: how the mid-90's merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group - and a friendly Presidential pen - brought down the Glass-Steagall Act, a crucial firewall between banks and investment firms which had protected consumers from financial calamity since the aftermath of the Great Depression. In effect, says Moyers, they put the watchdog to sleep.
There's no clearer example of the collusion between government and corporate finance than the Citicorp-Travelers merger, which - thanks to the removal of Glass-Steagall - enabled the formation of the financial behemoth known as Citigroup. But even behemoths are vulnerable; when the meltdown hit, the bank cut more than 50,000 jobs, and the taxpayers shelled out more than $45 billion to save it.
Senator Dorgan tells Moyers, "If you were to rank big mistakes in the history of this country, that was one of the bigger ones because it has set back this country in a very significant way."
Now, John Reed regrets his role in the affair, and says lifting the Glass Steagall protections was a mistake. Given the 2008 meltdown, he's surprised Wall Street still has so much power over Washington lawmakers. "I'm quite surprised the political establishment would listen to groups that have been so discredited," Reed tells Moyers. "It wasn't that there was one or two or institutions that, you know, got carried away and did stupid things. It was, we all did. And then the whole system came down."
