<description><![CDATA[They were called "Black Blizzards," dark clouds reaching miles into the sky, churning millions of tons of dirt into torrents of destruction. For ten years beginning in 1930, dust storms ravaged the parched and overplowed southern plains, turning bountiful wheat fields into desert. Disease, hardship and death followed, yet the majority of people stayed on, steadfastly refusing to give up on the land and a way of life.]]>

Art In The Twenty-First Century - Transformation]]></title>
<link>http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=244813</link>
<description><![CDATA[Costumes and masks, makeup and style, dolls & mannequins, stage and cinema-what strategies do we use to refashion identity? Do we seek out excess and extremes in order to see ourselves more clearly? Whether observing and satirizing society or reinventing icons of literature, art history, and popular culture, these artists inhabit the characters they create and capture the sensibilities of our age. Paul McCarthy's video-taped performances and raucous multimedia installations lampoon polite society, ridicule authority, and bombard the viewer with a sensory overload of spectacular imagery. In self-reflexive photographs and films, Cindy Sherman invents myriad guises, metamorphosing from Hollywood starlet to clown to society matron. Using painting, sculpture, photography and film, Yinka Shonibare MBE creates tableaus of dazzling color and pattern that disrupt the colonialist narratives enforced by empires. ]]>

Frontline - A Death In Tehran]]></title>
<link>http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=248122</link>
<description><![CDATA[At the height of the protests following Iran's controversial presidential election this summer, a young woman named Neda Soltani was shot and killed on the streets of Tehran. Her death-filmed on a cameraphone, then uploaded to the web-quickly became an international outrage, and Soltani became the face of a powerful movement that threatened the hardline government's hold on power. With the help of a unique network of correspondents in and out of the country, FRONTLINE investigates the life and death of the woman whose image remains a potent symbol for those who want to keep the reform movement alive. The film also explores a number of unanswered questions in the aftermath of the greatest upheaval in Iran since the 1979 revolution: How many were arrested and killed as the security forces attempted to contain the growing protest movement? To what extent was the presidential vote manipulated? What is the nature of the reported divisions among Iran's ruling elites?]]>

Model T's To War: American Ambulances On The Western Front, 1914-1918]]></title>
<link>http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=245195</link>
<description><![CDATA[Between 1914 and 1917 — prior to the United States' entry into World War I — more than 3,000 American volunteers, paying their own passage, set sail for France to aid the war effort. MODEL T's TO WAR focuses on the valiant work of the American Field Service, ambulance sections assigned to help the French Army in its fight against German forces. These young men drove Ford-built Model T's to the frontlines and saw their greatest glory in the battle of Verdun in 1916, when Field Service ambulances transported more than 250,000 wounded. Although American readers regularly followed the adventures of these brave ambulanciers through numerous accounts published in local and national newspapers of the era, few today know about their heroic deeds. MODEL T's TO WAR seeks to shed light on this forgotten story. The film takes viewers on an archaeological journey of discovery — from French battlefield sites still littered with World War I artifacts to recently discovered silent-film footage and hundreds of previously unpublished war-time photographs.]]>

<description><![CDATA[ROADTRIP NATION began in 2001 when three 20-something college grads -- Mike Marriner, Nathan Gebhard and Brian McAllister -- took a detour from the prescribed route in life. Rather than head on to the graduate schools and jobs that were waiting for them, they maxed out their credit cards to buy a 31-foot RV, which they painted day-glo green, and set off on a journey that would change their lives. Their destination? To speak with people who had defied conventional career paths to pursue their own visions, and who became in the process both successful and fulfilled.]]>

How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin]]></title>
<link>http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=247272</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is the extraordinary and untold story of how the Beatles punctured the Iron Curtain. In August 1962, award-winning director Leslie Woodhead made a two-minute film, in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, with a raw and unrecorded group of unknown rockers — the Beatles. Twenty-five years later, while making a series of films in Russia, Woodhead learned just how powerful Beatlemania was in the Soviet Union. Even though the Beatles never performed there, their music and rebellious style had soaked into the lives of a generation of Russian kids. This film features personal stories from members of Russia’s Beatles generation, who talk about how the Fab Four changed their lives, gave them hope and helped to undermine the foundations of the Soviet system.]]>
