One of the people who helped shed light on these dark corners and lift the stigma is former First Lady Betty Ford. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/423/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/423/rss Tue, 10 Mar 09 08:55:00 -0700 Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln, both born on February 12, 1809, have made an indelible mark on the world as we know it today. What a great coincidence, that two of the most important and controversial figures of the 19th century were born on the same day! If you were given the chance to spend time with one of these two historical figures, who would you choose and why? What would you ask them? http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/399/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/399/rss Tue, 10 Feb 09 08:49:00 -0700 Lioness tells the story of a group of female Army support soldiers who became the first women in American history to be sent into direct ground combat in violation of official policy. Without sufficient training but with a commitment to serve as needed, these young women ended up fighting in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq war. Lioness makes public, for the first time, this hidden history. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/334/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/334/rss Tue, 21 Oct 08 08:30:00 -0700 The new season of Community Cinema kicks off in September!

Their journey is a bold first step and the start of an important conversation. One of the places they visit is Elmina Castle, a former slave fort along Ghana's Atlantic coastline. It is a place I have been to - and will stay with me forever. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/249/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/249/rss Thu, 26 Jun 08 09:23:00 -0700 So often, what we hear about China refers to the nation as a whole: China's booming capitalist economy, its rising power on the international stage, the government's control over the media. But what about the private lives of the Chinese as a people? What hopes do they have? What anxieties? How much have their lives really changed?  http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/243/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/243/rss Tue, 17 Jun 08 09:27:00 -0700 How well do we ever know our parents? This thought occurred to me when I spent time with my mother and her friends over the weekend. I was with them in a social setting on their turf, and it was almost like seeing Mom as a person - not just a mother - for the first time. I chatted with many of her friends and felt as if I'd finally arrived as an actual adult. I was privy to candid stories, confessions and insecurities. From the corner of the room, I observed complicated dynamics among friends, husbands, wives, others. These could be my own friends, I thought. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/229/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/229/rss Tue, 27 May 08 08:02:00 -0700
