36342	18 with a Bullet: El Salvador's American-Style Gangs	In the 1990s, thousands of Salvadoran nationals living illegally in the U.S. were deported to their homeland. Some took Los Angeles gang culture with them. This Wide Angle report documents six months spent inside the transnational gang known as "18"-a Salvadoran permutation of L.A.'s notorious 18th Street gang. Following teenage "homeboys" as they patrol their turf in the streets of San Salvador, the program details the inner workings of 18-initiating would-be members through violent beatings, organizing support for friends in need, orchestrating gang activity behind prison walls, waging endless warfare against its enemies, and putting El Salvador high on the list of the most violent and crime-ridden countries in the world. The program also features anchor Daljit Dhaliwal discussing U.S. anti-gang efforts and deportation policy with Anne W. Patterson, Assistant Secretary of State for Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. (57 minutes)	2006	57	http://www.fmgondemand.com/PortalViewVideo.aspx?xtid=36342
36341	1-800-INDIA: Importing a White-Collar Economy	Over the past decade, India has emerged as the leader in the global market for outsourced white-collar jobs-one reason for the nation's rapid economic growth. This Wide Angle case study explores the experiences of emerging Indian professionals who have been recruited into positions requiring long hours, late-night shifts, and Westernized work habits. The program reveals the human and cultural impact of a controversial yet essentially unstoppable global economic trend-examining its effect on Indian family life, on the evolving landscape of urban India, and on the aspirations and daily lives of young Indian citizens, especially women, as they enter the work force. In addition, anchor Daljit Dhaliwal discusses social, political, and economic development in India with Michael Elliott, editor of Time International.

37555	Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: The Resurgence-Educator's Edition	Although hatred of the Jewish people is often found at the margins of society, anti-Semitism appears to be approaching a groundswell in many parts of the world. This program examines the phenomenon at institutional and grassroots levels, focusing primarily on the Middle East and the complex history behind its conflicts. Viewers will encounter several provocative ideas about Islamic anti-Semitism and the attitudes Jews and Muslims have developed concerning each other. Celebrated historian Bernard Lewis, former Israeli Prime Minister Natan Sharansky, Iranian-American author Reza Aslan, Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy, and other experts propel this timely discussion. Narrated by veteran TV journalist Judy Woodruff. Bonus material (DVD only) features extended interview footage.

37604	Art Brut: Outsider Art, Outsider Artists	In its strictest sense, the term art brut refers to art created outside the boundaries of official culture and often focuses on the work of people who live in mental institutions. This program focuses on the art of Josef "Pepi" Hofer and several other artists with mental retardation and similar disabilities as it captures them in workshops and at a showing and award ceremony at The House of Art, Munich. Although not designated as art therapy, the effects of creating art are visibly therapeutic as these individuals explore issues of sexuality and other areas of human experience and imagination through depictions both complex and deceptively simple.

32651	Asylum: A History of the Mental Institution in America	This classic, award-winning program brings to light the complex and controversial history of the mental institution in the U.S. through a detailed study of St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. It also debates whether deinstitutionalization has proved an overall failure, leaving more patients homeless than are mainstreamed into society, and if the time has come to reintroduce the asylum as a place of therapy and benign confinement. Rare archival footage, interviews with former patients, and insights from mental health historians David Rothman, of Columbia University, and Gerald Grob, of Rutgers University, make this a documentary not to be missed.

10450	Beyond Black and White: Affirmative Action in America	All sides of the affirmative action issue have targeted the same goal: ending racism of all types. But do opportunities for some have to come at the expense of others? In this Fred Friendly Seminar moderated by Harvard Law School's Charles Ogletree, a what-if scenario revolves around a university's efforts to enroll a diverse student body of qualified candidates. Panelists include Ward Connerly, proponent of California's Proposition 209; Christopher Edley, Jr., author of Not All Black & White: Affirmative Action, Race, and American Values; Julius Becton, Jr., former head of Washington, D.C.'s public schools; Ruth Simmons, president of Smith College; and policy activists from the African-American, Asian, Native American, and Latino communities.

37127	Born into Prostitution: The Badis of Nepal	A daughter of a Badi prostitute is required to be registered under the surname Nepali. So marked from birth, she is born into prostitution and is expected to follow her mother into that trade-unless the family, the Dalit community, or charitable NGOs are moved to help them make a change. This program profiles two Badi families and the positive efforts of one former prostitute and Suklal Nepali, director of SAFE (Social Awareness for Education), to assist them. Ironically, it is a sex customer, through his blunt appraisal of Badi prostitutes, who inadvertently speaks the most eloquently of these women's plight.

30038	Cappuccino Trail: The Global Economy in a Cup	A 150-pound bag of coffee beans might earn a farmer $50; the "street value" of that same bag-10,000 cups of coffee-is around $20,000. By following the trail of two coffee beans grown in the Peruvian Andes, this program takes a unique look at the ubiquitous stimulant which, after oil, is the most globally traded commodity. One of the beans takes the route of the open market where its price is determined by commodities traders and analysts, such as Merrill Lynch's Judy Gaines, the industry oracle who discusses the market's volatility. The other bean finds its way into Cafe Direct, a new gourmet coffee launched in Britain by a company dedicated to paying fair prices to farmers for their high-quality organic crop.

36459	The Cotton Wars	For centuries, cotton has influenced the relationship between America and Africa. It drove the slave trade, and today it epitomizes the uneven playing field created by farming subsidies. This program examines the lopsided nature of the global cotton industry-in which U.S. and European producers enjoy massive government support while independent African farmers struggle to remain competitive. Going deep inside the agricultural, bureaucratic, and diplomatic networks that control the cotton trade on both sides of the Atlantic, the program also looks at the growing influence of Chinese producers-another factor working against Africa.

37589	Days of the Dead: A Living Tradition	With the arrival of the conquistadors, many ancient Mesoamerican rituals were absorbed into Christian holidays. This program examines a collection of sacred, social, and artistic traditions that survived European assimilation and now compose one of Mexico's most important annual festivals. The film follows the travels and experiences of a young Purepecha artisan, her grandmother, and their family during the weeks leading up to the Days of the Dead. As these struggling craftspeople market their wares, study new techniques, and prepare for their deceased patriarch's spiritual return, viewers will see a wide variety of folk art practices-from pottery painting to flower decoration to papier-mache skeleton sculpture-coalesce into a momentous cultural event.

30186	Globalization and the Media	As globalization of trade rapidly expands, the mainstream media is being accused of inadequately reporting the issues. This program canvasses some of the dissent by exploring conflicts of interest within the media and showing how technology, such as the camcorder and the Internet, is challenging the monopoly of big news broadcasters. Differences between mainstream and "indie" media are highlighted in coverage of the economic summits and related protests in Genoa and Seattle. Among those interviewed are Danny Schechter, director of Mediachannel.org; Katharine Ainger, editor of New Internationalist magazine; and Chris Cramer, president of CNN International News.

34201	Globalization Is Good	Controversial writer Johan Norberg argues forcefully for one side of the globalization debate. In this program he examines three developing countries and how they fit into that debate, building a case for deregulation, the abolishment of subsidies and tariffs, and a long-term view of industrialization. He frankly defends the use of sweatshop labor, through which Taiwan has cultivated a vigorous, targeted manufacturing sector and transformed agrarian poverty into affluence. Praising Vietnam for following the same path and criticizing Kenya as an unfortunate example of isolationism, Norberg's assertions compose a powerful catalyst for classroom discussion.

37419	Going Green: Real-World Solutions for the Environment	It's easy to talk about environmental stewardship, but quite another matter to practice it. This compilation of 12 ABC News stories shows how governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are taking concrete, eco-friendly action. Each engaging example of "going green" offers an opportunity for class discussion, further study, and perhaps even genuine change. The episodes are... * Businesses Going Green: Additions to the Manhattan skyline, such as the Hearst Corporation headquarters and the Bank of America Tower, reveal a growing corporate interest in recycling and solar energy. Texas Instruments' Dallas offices and the Atlanta home-building market take the discussion further. * Interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Global Warming: California's governor emphasizes the need to become environmentally proactive and insists that going green is not an anti-business stance. A second segment, More on Businesses Going Green, looks at eco-friendly initiatives from General Electric, WalMart, DuPont, and FedEx. * Electric Cars Encouraged in a Small California Town: Citizens of Lincoln, CA, share their enthusiasm for NEVs, or neighborhood electric vehicles. These golf cart-sized automobiles won't set any speed records, but they can dramatically reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions. * Solar Power Usage: Will Silicon Valley become "Solar Valley"? Companies like Solar City, Miasole, and SunPower represent a new direction in high-tech-one that fuses state-of-the-art technology with the rapidly growing green consumer market. * With the Olympics Looming, China Goes Green: A visit to Beijing illustrates the city's intensifying efforts to clean up air and water quality in anticipation of the 2008 games. Beijing's scarcity of water is also discussed. * Buying the Right to Pollute? The practice of issuing "carbon offsets" raises questions about enabling, rather than preventing, pollution. One expert compares carbon offsets to the granting of indulgences by the medieval Church. * Japan Goes Green: A visit to a Tokyo family's energy-efficient apartment demonstrates devices that many Japanese citizens use to lower fuel and electrical consumption. * Biofuel Usage for Airplanes: Richard Branson, former CEO of Virgin Atlantic airlines, discusses his development partnership with Boeing. Its goal: to offer viable commercial flights that produce zero emissions. In addition, GE engineers describe the challenges of creating biofuels that won't freeze at high altitudes. * San Francisco Goes Green: This story highlights improvements to Giants Stadium, Grace Cathedral, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Public Utilities Commission building-all examples of green architecture or energy-efficient heating and lighting. * Going Carbon Negative: Two American consumers are profiled-one whose lifestyle leaves a big carbon footprint, and another whose footprint is steadily vanishing as a result of many ongoing changes. * A Family Goes Completely Green: Can an American household neutralize its environmental impact for an entire year? Colin Bevins and his wife explain their attempt to do so-no small feat for a family of three accustomed to life in New York City. 45 minutes.	2007	45	http://www.fmgondemand.com/PortalViewVideo.aspx?xtid=37419
34472	Guatemala: The Human Price of Coffee	Coffee is second only to oil as the world's most valuable traded commodity, but small-scale producers rarely profit from it. This program reveals the hardship and uncertainty faced by coffee farmers in Guatemala, and how many are taking steps to obtain better prices and build better lives. Analyzing the country's traumatic history and the lingering effects of its civil war, the video sheds light on the reluctance of some citizens to organize for fear of persecution and murder. The video clearly demonstrates that behind every pound of coffee lies a story of human struggle.

4934	Illusions of News	This program looks at the impact of the visual image on news and politics in the electing of Presidents and the governing of America. While projecting a self-serving image has long been an understandable part of American politics, the 1980s produced a marriage of sophisticated news manipulation by political candidates and a willingness of the news media to dance to the candidate's tune. To what extent has this manipulation contributed to political apathy on the part of the American public? The program looks at the changing values in journalism, including the increasing monopolization of the media and the use of pictures over ideas by television news. Says Michael Deaver, a former advisor in the Reagan White House, "The media, while they won't admit it, are not in the news business. They're in the entertainment business."

33622	Inside Money: Cooperative Solutions from the IMF	This fast-paced animated case study examines the International Monetary Fund's role in assisting countries under economic distress. Spotlighted is a fictional country called Ruritania, whose litany of monetary problems includes government's role in the economy surpassing that of the private sector; wasteful government spending to employ relatives of politicians; subsidies to civilians who do not need social benefits; low tax revenues, prompting heavy government borrowing from abroad; and inflation caused by over-circulation of money printed for the government to spend more than it earns. Host Ian McFadden discusses the measures the IMF takes to pull Ruritania out of the bind. A viewable/printable study guide is available online.

12054	Installation Art	Fashionable. Engaging. Controversial. This program defines what has come to be known as installation art, while providing a number of examples that unite diverse elements such as architecture, sculpture, painting, video, music, and performance. Richard Wilson, creator of the acclaimed 20:50; Tracey Emin, whose My Bed caused a media sensation; and other contemporary artists talk about their environmental and site-specific art, through which they manipulate space and perception while exploring the dynamic tension between artwork and its setting. A BBCW Production. (29 minutes)	2000	29	http://www.fmgondemand.com/PortalViewVideo.aspx?xtid=12054
37557	Jihad TV: Terrorism and Mass Media	In al Qaeda's global jihad against the West, videos of smiling suicide bombers and insurgent ambushes have become as important as the attacks they glorify. This program illustrates in chilling detail how Islamic extremists use the power of the Internet and the network sound bite. From the markets of Baghdad, where brightly packaged jihadist DVDs are snapped up by young consumers, to the broadcast studios of Al Arabiya, where editors debate the merits and consequences of airing graphic violence, the program explores the inextricable links between media technology and terrorist agendas.

This program studies divergent points of view contributing to the global warming debate, untangling a morass of political and scientific concerns and providing a wealth of historical background on the issue. Is the greenhouse effect as dangerous as theorized, or is that simply bad science? What effect on human life and the world economy can be expected in the coming years? Will the global community ever agree on a concerted plan of action? These and other questions shed light on the dominant environmental issue of our time. A BBCW Production.

33271	Peter Jennings Reporting-How to Get Fat Without Really Trying	While much of the public debate about obesity has focused on personal responsibility, Peter Jennings reveals how federal government agricultural policies and food industry practices are contributing to America's growing obesity epidemic.

Is big business the new big brother? This program addresses the growing debate about our "surveillance society" and its erosion of privacy and anonymity-which could become casualties of the war for market supremacy as well as the war on terror. The proliferation of public CCTV cameras, smart chips on customer loyalty cards, call centers that track phone activity, and radio frequency ID tags-a potential design component in many consumer products-emphasizes the need for more grassroots awareness and inquiry.

10288	When East Meets East	When an aspiring Chinese actress goes to an audition and is told, "You are trying to be what you are not. You should be more Chinese," she is understandably confused.

This program introduces viewers to two Dalit families who, for generations, have cleaned the excrement from their villages' open-air latrines with their bare hands. But flush-toilets don't necessarily free untouchables from their role; a young man who manually removes waste from the sewers of Hyderabad is also interviewed, along with Bezawada Wilson-a hereditary latrine cleaner-turned-activist determined to free all Bhangis from what is arguably the worst job in the world. Wilson interjects a lone ray of hope into what is otherwise a depiction of a singularly bleak way of life. Some content may be objectionable.
