  Rick Steves' Europe[#207]
  Prague and the Czech Republic
  Newly energized Prague, slinky with sumptuous Art Nouveau facades, is perpetually playing Mozart and Vivaldi. Eastern Europe's top destination has Europe's best beer, biggest castle, liveliest pedestrian bridge, and most evocative Jewish Quarter. From Prague, we sidetrip to Kutna Hora, once a silver-mining boomtown, to descend into its medieval mine and ponder its eerie chapel, decorated centuries ago with 40,000 bones.

  Passport to Adventure[#112]
  Discovering The "Sud Tirol", Italy
  The limestone peaks of the Dolomite mountains make for some of the most dramatic ski terrain in all of Europe. Hosts Mark Jennings & Julie Conover enjoy the slopes of the Sella Ronda, then board a helicopter to challenge themselves on one of the area's steepest chutes. Many of the local families have lived in the Sud Tirol for generations and cherish their way of life in these once remote mountain villages. Julie & Mark take a look at the time honored craft of wood carving and spend an afternoon with a local man who offers a touchingly personal perspective of World War One and the transition from Austrian to Italian rule. This journey through Northern Italy concludes with a visit to cosmopolitan Florence, the renaissance capital of the country.

  Jewel of the Earth
  In the movie Jurassic Park, Richard Attenborough played the role of an entrepreneur who extracted dinosaur DNA from the blood of mosquitoes trapped in ancient amber. Now his real brother, Sir David Attenborough, explores that intriguing fossil possibility and a host of other astonishing secrets suspended in time millions of years ago. The celebrated naturalist's starting point is a piece of amber that he was given as a child and that he was fascinated to discover contained ancient insects buried within it. These remarkable bits of resin serve as a time machine, transporting scientists back 40 million years and yielding some amazing insights into life on Earth at that time. Revealed in stunning close-up photography, these jewels of the earth open doors to life in long-vanished ages.

  The Old Man and the Storm
  Six months after Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans, producer June Cross came across 82-year-old Herbert Gettridge working alone on his home in the lower Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated when the levees broke in August 2005. Over the next two years, Cross would document the story of the extended Gettridge clan -- an African-American family with deep roots in New Orleans -- as they struggled to rebuild their homes and their lives. Their efforts would be deeply impacted by larger decisions about urban planning, public health and the insurance industry, by the decisions of policymakers about federal funding for rebuilding the Gulf, and state and city plans for dispersing those monies. The moving personal story of Mr. Gettridge and his family reveals the human cost of this tragedy, the continued inadequacies of government's response in the aftermath of Katrina and how race, class, and politics have affected the attempts to rebuild this American city.

  The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30-minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate.

  Santiago De Compostela, Spain
  Today, sacred travel is more popular than it has been since the Middle Ages. Each year, millions of people travel to the world's holy sites, and one of the most popular destinations is Santiago de Compostela in the Northwest corner of Spain. Burt Wolf tours its 1000-year-old Cathedra, explains the stories behind its art and architecture and watches as an eight-man team swings the world's largest flying incense burner through the structure. We see the world's oldest travel guide, and visit the Hospital of the Kings of Spain that was built in 1499 - the world's oldest hotel still in operation. We also call on a jeweler who works in Jet, an ancient gemstone so black that describing it caused the phrase "jet black" to become part of the English language. It is a city that can connect you with the divine.

  The style and verve of one of South America's most beautiful capitals is the focus of this episode that highlights Argentina's national dance, the tango, as well as the energy that its diverse population brings to the urban landscape. The HD lens brings to the fore the graceful and classic architecture of Buenos Aires, exemplified by the San Telmo neighborhood whose Sunday market is traditionally closed at sunset by an impromptu street band that marches through the streets, collecting dancers and revelers with its insistent drumbeats. At local tango parlors called milongas, Buenos Aires residents, known as portenos, lend an air of authenticity to the dance that grew up in the working class neighborhoods of the city. We wander the famous Recoleta cemetery in downtown Buenos Aires, where incredible monuments to the departed, including Eva Peron, feature winged angels and other fantastically decorated crypts. Meet a 70-year-old ice cream maker from Sicily who never misses a day's work. And explore the underground art scene that's finding a home in Buenos Aires.

  Great Performances[#3313]
  Cyrano de Bergerac
  One of the most beloved plays, Cyrano de Bergerac also offers one of the theater's most coveted roles for a leading actor. Based on the life of a 17th century warrior poet, Edmond Rostand's romantic classic tells the tale of Cyrano - a gifted writer, musician and peerless duelist, yet hopelessly handicapped in the romantic arena by his unusually large nose. Desperately in love with the beautiful Roxane, he offers his poetic brilliance to Christian, his similarly smitten yet tongue-tied comrade. The unwitting Roxane falls for Cyrano's passionate words as delivered by Christian's handsome face, only to learn of the deception many years too late. Recorded in 2008 at the end of a limited run - the play's first return to Broadway since 1984 - the Oscar and Tony winning Kevin Kline triumphs in the title role with a critically-acclaimed, bravura performance. Also starring are Jennifer Garner (Alias) as Roxane and Daniel Sunjata (Broadway's Take Me Out, FX's Rescue Me) as Christian; David Leveaux (Moon for the Misbegotten; Nine) directs.

  Torturing Democracy
  This documentary chronicles how US detention and interrogation policies in the Administration's war on terror descended into "at a minimum, cruel and unusual treatment and, at worst, torture" in the words of the former general counsel of the United States Navy. It features high-level State Department and Pentagon insiders - military men who opposed the increasingly harsh treatment of men in US custody. One Marine Lt. Colonel, assigned to prosecute a so-called "high value" detainee, refused to do so when he concluded that the prisoner's confession was coerced through torture. Calling that interrogation "morally repugnant," this military officer told producer Sherry Jones, "If we compromise our ideals as a nation, then these guys have accomplished much more than driving airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."
  For the first time on television, the former chief Judge Advocate General of the Army reveals the inside story of how the top military lawyers in a Pentagon task force set up by the Secretary of Defense in early 2003 were deceived by Rumsfeld's secret authorization of interrogation tactics they had opposed. "The commander in chief doesn't have the power to make that which is illegal under the law of war, legal," the former top JAG concludes. This program details the fierce struggles waged by these military and administration insiders - whose belief in the country's traditions and values led them to the highest acts of patriotism. They were unable, in the end, to overcome formidable resistance from the most powerful figures in the Pentagon and the White House.
