Poehling, of the Bowman Gray

Just over fifty years ago,
Soviet and American troops met at the River Elbe and rejoiced at the defeat of
Nazi Germany but their optimism was short lived. This film tracks the building
tensions between these two superpowers, from the post-war world of the late
1940s through the early 1960s, as the hope for peace swiftly disintegrated into
a "cold" war. Here eyewitnesses recall the meeting on
the Elbe, the impact of
Stalin, Churchill and Khrushchev, propaganda wars between the two nations, the
Berlin blockade, the Hungarian uprising and the installation of the Berlin Wall.

In the early 1930's mass
unemployment, widespread hunger, and a mood of fearful pessimism and simmering
unrest were Herbert Hoover's legacy to American's new chief executive. This
program spotlights the early days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, where
he scrambled to transform the New Deal from a campaign slogan to nothing short
of a social revolution--while staving off attacks by those who viewed him as a
dictator and his reforms as a threatening turn to the left.

In the late 1940's, while the
Soviet Union and the U.S. eyed each other over the Iron Curtain, conservative
Americans at all levels of society worried about communist
infiltration--especially in the movie industry, since that medium plays a huge
role in shaping public perceptions and attitudes. This program reveals a time of
McCarthyism and career-ending blacklists, a time when freedom
of speech itself became a
casualty in the desperate fight to protect democracy from "The red
menace."

This dramatic saga does not
end with General Lee's surrender to General Grant at Appomattox Court House on
April 9, 1865. President Lincoln is
tragically assassinated only five days later, and the struggle for reunification
has only just begun. This final
episode of the "Divided Union" ponders the South's legacy of defeat and the
War's continuing impact on American life. In abolishing slavery, did the War
eliminate-or exacerbate- racial problems?
The lengthy and bitter struggle for Black civil rights provides a
poignant culmination as this thought-provoking series brings you to the present
day.

that of the Indian, but he
brought with him a new god, a

Presenter, Justin Lewis.
The media regularly use
public opinion polls in their reporting of important news stories. But how
exactly do they report them and to what end? In this interview, Professor Justin
Lewis demonstrates the way in which polling data arethemselves used by media to
not just reflect what Americans think but instead toconstruct public opinion
itself. Addressing issues such as the role the media
play in "manufacturing
consent" for political elites, what polls really tell us about public opinion,
and what Americans actually think about politics, the program provides a new way
to think about the relationship between politics, media and the public.

Moderator, Timothy Jackson.
1994 debate before an
audience between two professors on the naturalistic vs. the theistic way of
understanding human existence. William Provine, Professor of Evolutionary
Biology at Cornell University, cites evidence supporting neo-Darwinian theory
and argues that microevolutionary processes account for the origin of all life.
He asserts that modern evolutional theory is incompatible with belief in God;
that there are no absolute moral and ethical laws; that
free
will does not exist; and that
human character is merely a result of heredity and environment. Phillip Johnson,
Professor of Law at the University of California in Berkeley, agrees that modern
neo-Darwinian theory is atheistic and scientific; however, as a general theory
it is a philosophical dogma that is inconsistent with the evidence. Provine and
Johnson debate basic questions: Do
we owe our existence to a
creator? Can the blind watchmaker of natural selection take the place of God?
Moderator is Timothy Jackson, Dept. of Religious Studies, Stanford University.

What caused the American
Civil War? Take a personal journey
through history to see that the split between North and South was not a
surprise--the U.S. had beenevolving into two separate societies and cultures
ever since independence.
Thisprogram clearly illustrates the rise of the Republican Party and the
emergence of Abraham Lincoln, the moves toward secession within the
South,industrialization in the North, and the impact of the cotton gin on the
economicdevelopment of the South.
It also traces the origins of slavery in North America. These burning embers finally ignite
into the firing of that fateful
first shot at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, beginning the War Between the States.

A tribute to the man behind
such favorites as "Cabaret," "Chicago," "Sweet Charity," and "Pippin." A mixture
of physically aggressive dance moves and dazzling visual style, Bob Fosse's
approach to theater revolutionized how we experience music and dance, while his
mixture of cynicism and sentiment remains timely decades after his death. Join
one of Fosse's most gifted collaborators,
Ann Reinking, as she and a
wild, gyrating cast take you through such memorable standards as "Life Is Just a
Bowl of Cherries," "Steam Heat," "Mein Herr," and the unforgettable "Big
Spender."

at two of the many crises faced by George Washingtonduring his term as America's

by their undying devotion to America, but who were often bitterly divided about
how best to serve their commn cause. Volume 2
explores the ideological
conflict that existed between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton and
highlights Washington's farewell address. Volume 3 portrays the bitterly
contesed presidential election of 1796 and the difficult administration of John

his political popularity is waning, and the North seems unable to exploit its

side, and help from Europe will not materialize. But in the summer of 1863, the pace
begins to quicken. The Union's decisive victory at
Gettysburg where one-third of General Lee's forces are destroyed--and the

"The mass appeal of movies,

for movie content, to answer growing charges of immorality. The Code lasted 20 years and still
influences moviemaking today. As
feature films continue to cause controversy,
the question remains: do
movies reflect--or cause--social behavior?"--Packaging.

Hypocrites: Follows parallel
stories of an early Christian ascetic and a modern minister. Gabriel is a
medieval monk who devotes himself to completing a statue of "Truth," only to be
murdered by a mob when his work turns out to be an image of a naked woman. The
contemporary Gabriel is pastor of a large urban congregation for whom religion
is a matter of appearances, not beliefs. The hypocrisy of the congregation is
exposed by a series of vignettes in which the Naked Truth is portrayed by a
naked woman, revealing their appetites for money, sex and power. Eleanor's
catch: A delightful short, directed by and starring Cleo Madison. In this
two-reeler, she plays a young city girl dragged into a life of crime by a
ne'er-do-well suitor. A terrific surpise ending gives Cleo an early claim to
promoting women's equality in the workforce. VHS.

and a decade of armed struggle. [This film], Gomes' first feature-length film,
portrays this critical period in history through the story of one woman,
Diminga, whose husband is fighting on the front lines. The camera captures
Cabral's assassination, the ending of hostilities, and the
reconstruction of the
economically and spiritually devastated country strugglingwith drought and
famine. The term "Mortu Nega" means those that death did not want, and Gomes
films a ceremony using 3000 extras, in which survivors call uponthe dead, asking
them how they can go on living in such terrible conditions"--Lemonde Cannes, '96

The Louisiana Correctional
Institute is located in the swamps of southern Louisiana in the small town of
St. Gabriel. Built in 1970, it houses the state'smost dangerous female prisoners
and often exceeds its population capacity of 900. Seventy-five percent of these
women are mothers and one fourth are serving sentences of fifteen years or more.
The prison compound has a surreal quality;
there are no
searchlight-capped towers or barbed wire fences. Filmmaker Khadivi delivers a
portrait of life in this deceptively peaceful atmosphere which is filled with
stories of life on the streets, abuse, freedom, childbirth and motherhood. Six
women, a grandmother,a young high school student, a pregnant woman, a recovering
heroin addict, a prison guard, and the only woman on death row, share their
frustrations and hopes.
