Through the Wire

S03 E01 • Tuesday, Jun 26, 1990 • Jun 26 • 1h

An underground, high-security isolation unit at the Federal prison in Lexington, Kentucky, was built to house three female inmates convicted of politically motivated crimes. An international campaign advocates closing the controversial unit on humanitarian grounds.

Metamorphosis: Man Into Woman

S03 E02 • Tuesday, Jul 3, 1990 • Jul 3 • 1h

Gary, a 39 year-old successful animation artist and devout Christian, is pursuing a lifelong dream — to become a woman. A candid, non-sensational and sometimes humorous journey of nearly three years during which Gary prepares physically and emotionally for sex reassignment surgery, the film raises provocative questions about what really makes us men and women.

Larry Wright

S03 E03 • Tuesday, Jul 10, 1990 • Jul 10 • 1h

With a subway platform as his stage and a plastic can as his instrument, 14-year-old Larry Wright is a self-taught drummer with astonishing talent. A rousing tribute to the Harlem youth and the rich culture of the urban streets.

On Ice

S03 E04 • Tuesday, Jul 10, 1990 • Jul 10 • 1h

Cryonics — the freezing of human beings after death for future revival — is the focus of this off-beat film by two science buffs-turned-film-majors. Alternately deadpan and dead serious, the film features commentary from Timothy Leary, a theologian, and skeptical scientists.

Salesman

S03 E05 • Tuesday, Jul 24, 1990 • Jul 24 • 1h

In its national broadcast premiere, this bittersweet classic from pioneering filmmakers follows four door-to-door Bible salesmen as they walk the line between hype and despair. The critics used all the superlatives on this one, and it's as fresh today as when it was originally released.

Police Chiefs

S03 E06 • Tuesday, Jul 31, 1990 • Jul 31 • 1h

Three big-city police chiefs reveal sharply differing philosophies of law enforcement. Daryl Gates introduced SWAT to Los Angeles. Anthony Bouza ruffled feathers in Minneapolis. Lee Brown recently left Houston for New York. These top cops' ideas about the causes and cures of crime are as varied as their personalities.

Kamala and Raji

S03 E07 • Tuesday, Aug 7, 1990 • Aug 7 • 1h

Two poor women in India attempt to improve their lives. Kamala and Raji's resourcefulness, aspirations, and capacity for joy shatter stereotypes of Indian women as voiceless figures leading desolate lives of abject poverty. They have joined a growing organization of street vendors and laborers; the husbands and wholesalers of Ahmedabad may never be the same.

Days of Waiting

S03 E08 • Wednesday, Aug 15, 1990 • Aug 15 • 30m

Artist Estelle Peck Ishigo went with her Japanese American husband into an internment camp during World War II, one of the few Caucasians to do so. An "outsider's" perspective on the shattering experience of relocation is vividly recreated from Ishigo's own memoirs, photos, and paintings.

Golub

S03 E09 • Tuesday, Aug 14, 1990 • Aug 14 • 1h 20m

The role of art in America has been debated everywhere from the Halls of Congress to the local shopping mall. More than a portrait of the socially committed painter Leon Golub, whose massive canvases are intended to provoke viewers, this film is about media and contemporary society, social responsibility and creativity, art and information.

Green Streets

S03 E10 • Tuesday, Aug 21, 1990 • Aug 21

If a tree can grow in Brooklyn, can an eggplant flourish in the Bronx? Community gardens in New York City have helped to nourish neighborhood pride, racial tolerance, and a budding sense of hope for hundreds of enthusiastic gardeners in the urban jungle.

Going Up

S03 E11 • Tuesday, Aug 21, 1990 • Aug 21 • 30m

The creation of a skyscraper is transformed into a breathtaking visual experience as time-lapse photography, hard hat banter and construction worker choreography are set to a score by 15 new music composers in an urban ballet forty stories above New York harbor.

Motel

S03 E12 • Tuesday, Aug 28, 1990 • Aug 28 • 1h 24m

Behind the faded signs of three motels in the American Southwest lay entire worlds of passion, loyalty, adventure and fate. Veteran filmmaker Christian Blackwood winds his way into the soul of remarkable people in uniquely American subculture.

Ossian: American Boy, Tibetan Monk

S03 E13 • Tuesday, Sep 4, 1990 • Sep 4 • 1h

Ossian Maclise is not an average American teenager. Born in Massachusetts, he has been living in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery since the age of four. At seven, his monastic order recognized Ossian as a tulku — a reincarnation of a high Tibetan lama. Ossian offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a young man who embodies a surprising meeting of Eastern and Western culture.

¡Teatro!

S03 E14 • Tuesday, Sep 4, 1990 • Sep 4 • 1h

Founded by a Jesuit priest from St. Louis, a grassroots theatre company takes its shows on the unpaved roads of Honduras to enlighten and inspire villagers in the impoverished countryside.

People Power

S03 E15 • Tuesday, Sep 11, 1990 • Sep 11 • 1h

After years of witnessing firsthand the horrors of guerrilla wars, Israeli-born producer Ilan Ziv traveled to Chile, the Philippines and the West Bank to explore the development of "People Power" and to reexamine his own long-held belief in the necessary evil of violence to overthrow repressive governments. Set against the background of a predominantly nonviolent transformation of Eastern Europe, this is the first film to examine and evaluate nonviolence as an effective strategy for political change.

Letter to the Next Generation

S03 E16 • Tuesday, Jul 17, 1990 • Jul 17 • 1h

Are college students today apathetic and self-centered? Twenty years after National Guardsmen opened fire on student antiwar demonstrators, Jim Klein, a '60s radical-turned-filmmaker (Union Maids, Seeing Red) visits the campus of Kent State to probe behind the stereotypes. Together with young patrons of the local tanning salon, activists-turned-professors, and an ROTC captain, Klein ponders the social forces that are changing campuses and the country in the '90s.
