Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

We Said No! No!: A Story of Civil Disobedience (repeat)
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. In March of 1942 the U.S. government decided the Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants living on the West Coast could be spies or saboteurs. Martial Law was declared and 120,000 people were forcibly removed from their homes, forced to liquidate their businesses and told to report to so-called relocation camps. The U.S. government called this "evacuation". After the Japanese Americans and immigrants had been incarcerated at the "internment" camps for a year, the U.S. government decided to seek out volunteers who would now fight for America. Under the insignia of the Selective Service, military personnel visited the ten internment camps and had every man and woman over 18 years of age fill out what has come to be known as the "Loyalty Questionnaire". This questionnaire was to determine if you were loyal to America and would fight against any enemy of the United States. If you answered "no" to any of the loaded questions, you were not considered a loyal American; thus, you were sent to the camp for the disloyal - Tule Lake Segregation Camp. This film is about those Americans deemed disloyal, who fought for their civil rights in a country that had abandoned them. (Additional airings: 5/12 1:00 AM, 5/12 9:00 AM, 5/17 3:00 AM)

We Said No! No!: A Story of Civil Disobedience (repeat)
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. In March of 1942 the U.S. government decided the Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants living on the West Coast could be spies or saboteurs. Martial Law was declared and 120,000 people were forcibly removed from their homes, forced to liquidate their businesses and told to report to so-called relocation camps. The U.S. government called this "evacuation". After the Japanese Americans and immigrants had been incarcerated at the "internment" camps for a year, the U.S. government decided to seek out volunteers who would now fight for America.

Grandma Stand
At a time when the lack of connection is epidemic, wise and witty grandmothers sit behind a lemonade-style stand in NYC's Central Park, offering heartfelt life lessons to passersby. Inspired by the importance of his own grandmother's guidance, Mike Matthews created the "Grandma Stand" as a place where anyone can find emotional comfort through conversations with an impartial grandma. It has become so popular that "Grandma Stands" are now opening in other states and countries. The hour-long documentary GRANDMA STAND, from two-time Christopher Award winner Susan Polis Schutz, captures the stand in action, offering viewers the opportunity to witness 20 diverse individuals, ranging in age from 10 to 81, candidly and vulnerably share their feelings with a grandmother. "I have a problem with boundaries," said a recent college graduate. "I am anxious about my future," shares another. "I have too much free time on my hands," admits a recently retired lawyer. "I am afraid to cry," reveals a young man whose beloved dog had just died. The program reveals how a brief encounter with someone can have a profound impact. These relatable discussions offer viewers valuable insights into their own lives as well. (Additional airings: 5/9 11:02 PM, 5/12 11:00 AM, 5/30 7:00 PM)

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

We Said No! No!: A Story of Civil Disobedience (repeat)
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. In March of 1942 the U.S. government decided the Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants living on the West Coast could be spies or saboteurs. Martial Law was declared and 120,000 people were forcibly removed from their homes, forced to liquidate their businesses and told to report to so-called relocation camps. The U.S. government called this "evacuation". After the Japanese Americans and immigrants had been incarcerated at the "internment" camps for a year, the U.S. government decided to seek out volunteers who would now fight for America. Under the insignia of the Selective Service, military personnel visited the ten internment camps and had every man and woman over 18 years of age fill out what has come to be known as the "Loyalty Questionnaire". This questionnaire was to determine if you were loyal to America and would fight against any enemy of the United States. If you answered "no" to any of the loaded questions, you were not considered a loyal American; thus, you were sent to the camp for the disloyal - Tule Lake Segregation Camp. This film is about those Americans deemed disloyal, who fought for their civil rights in a country that had abandoned them. (Additional airings: 5/11 8:00 PM, 5/12 1:00 AM, 5/12 9:00 AM)

Nature – Attenborough and the Sea Dragon (repeat)
A remarkable chance discovery is about to reveal secrets that have laid hidden for 200 million years. A "dragon" that ruled the ocean at the time of the dinosaurs was found in the eroding cliffs on the southeast coast of England called the Jurassic Coast. It's an Ichthyosaur, a fish lizard. This fearsome predator had the very best characteristics of reptiles and mammals in one formidable package. It could regulate its own body temperature, had astonishingly acute eyesight, and an impressive set of blade-like teeth and powerful, gripping jaws to hunt and swallow its prey whole. As the forensic investigation unfolds, fossil hunter Chris Moore and his team stumble into the 200-million-year-old murder mystery of this extraordinary creature's fate. Sir David Attenborough hosts this detective story, from the challenging on-site extraction of the fossils to the 3D reconstruction of the creature. He looks at evidence from animals across the world to try and piece together how this super predator lived and died. (Additional airings: 5/18 12:00 AM, 5/18 8:00 AM)

Buckle up for a wild ride through the discoveries that proved all of this to be true and paved the way for the digital technologies we enjoy today - and the powerful quantum sensors and computers of tomorrow.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

A Life Reimagined: The George Masa Story
Working backward through filmmaker Paul Bonesteel's decades-long fascination, A LIFE REIMAGINED: THE GEORGE MASA STORY unravels the mysterious life of George Masa, a Japanese immigrant whose extraordinary photographs helped define the identity of the Great Smoky Mountains. Joined by a devoted circle of historians, naturalists and artists, Bonesteel traces Masa's journey from a small village in Japan to the rugged peaks of North Carolina, where he found both purpose and hardship. Filmed across Japan, the Pacific Northwest and the Blue Ridge, this is a story of passion, loss and the redemptive power of art and place. (Additional airings: 5/21 12:00 AM, 5/21 8:00 AM)

Story in the Public Square
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

The mission was to stop Germany's most feared troops from reaching Normandy in the days after the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944. While missions such as this were classified as "Top Secret" by the American OSS and "Most, Most Secret" by Britain's SOE, some records were partially declassified in 1998, revealing the collective courage, risks, failures, and successes of the brave men and women who volunteered to be secret agents.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

Story in the Public Square
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

Gzero World with Ian Bremmer
GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did. Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, shares his perspective on recent global events and sits down with world leaders, noted experts and newsmakers who are shaping the current international order. The series includes a political satire segment called "Puppet Regime," which uses felt puppets of world leaders and many others - such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Angela Merkel, as well as business leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - to help make sense of the serious and complex issues of today's international politics.

American Experience – Victory in the Pacific
Take no prisoners. Fight to the bitter end." Those were everyday words to combat troops on both sides at the end of World War II in the Pacific. And they led to an unprecedented orgy of slaughter. In this provocative, thorough examination of the final months of the war, this film looks at the escalation of bloodletting from the vantage point of both the Japanese and the Americans. As the film will show, most of the Emperor's inner circle was determined to continue the war even after losses in the Philippines in February 1945 cut off Japan's supply lines. And though he was warned that the country, brought to its knees by the conflict, might erupt in a Communist revolution, Emperor Hirohito believed that one last decisive battle could reverse Japan's fortunes. The Americans, for their part, were startled by the intensity and determination of the Japanese defenders in the South Pacific. From the U.S. capture of the Mariana Islands, through the firebombing of Tokyo and the dropping of the atomic bomb, this program chronicles the dreadful and unprecedented loss of life and the decisions made by leaders on both sides that finally ended the war.

Grandma Stand
At a time when the lack of connection is epidemic, wise and witty grandmothers sit behind a lemonade-style stand in NYC's Central Park, offering heartfelt life lessons to passersby. Inspired by the importance of his own grandmother's guidance, Mike Matthews created the "Grandma Stand" as a place where anyone can find emotional comfort through conversations with an impartial grandma. It has become so popular that "Grandma Stands" are now opening in other states and countries. The hour-long documentary GRANDMA STAND, from two-time Christopher Award winner Susan Polis Schutz, captures the stand in action, offering viewers the opportunity to witness 20 diverse individuals, ranging in age from 10 to 81, candidly and vulnerably share their feelings with a grandmother.

"I am afraid to cry," reveals a young man whose beloved dog had just died. The program reveals how a brief encounter with someone can have a profound impact.

Red Storm Rising: The Struggle for the American
RED STORM RISING: THE STRUGGLE FOR THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY chronicles the complex history of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), from its formation in the early 20th century through its rise, influence and eventual decline. Though never a major political force, the CPUSA played a role in American politics, the labor movement and the cultural life of many workers. Under the leadership of Earl Browder (1932-1945) and William Z. Foster (1945-1957), the Communists attempted to build a mass radical movement, and in the process achieved respectability previously unknown and now frequently forgotten. Despite their close collaboration, Browder and Foster eventually became each other's nemesis as they struggled to address the challenges presented by the Industrial Revolution. Their relationship reveals how inner squabbling in a political movement can affect its influence and ultimate success. More broadly, RED STORM RISING explores the ideals, struggles and contradictions of a movement that challenged the status quo and left a lasting, if often overlooked, mark on U.S. politics.
