"Moment of Impact: Hunters and Herds"

April 4

When animals of astounding ability connect with each other and the world around them, there is a "moment of impact." The world is filled with these unique moments, like the violent collision of cheetah with gazelle, the blink-of-an-eye strike of a deadly snake and the amazing dexterity of an elephant's trunk as it feeds, fights or reaches out with affection. But how do these creatures accomplish such extraordinary feats? Live action footage reveals only part of the answer. Using the latest technologies, HD camera lenses and computer graphics, "Moment of Impact" takes the viewer inside the animal to present an innovative and revolutionary look at the bio-engineering of "how animals work."

"Moment of Impact: Jungle"

April 11

"Frogs: The Thin Green Line"

April 18

Frogs have been hopping the planet for more than 350 million years. They've evolved into some of the most wondrous, diverse and beloved animals on earth. Suddenly, they're slipping away. We've already lost one-third of our amphibians and more are disappearing each day. Some say it's the greatest extinction since the dinosaurs. Ecosystems are beginning to unravel, important medical cures are vanishing and we're losing a dear old friend. It's a global crisis, mobilizing scientists around the world to stem the tide - before the next frog crosses the thin green line.

"Fellowship of the Whales"

April 25

This is the story of the first year in a humpback whale's life as she learns lessons from her mother. Together, they make the long journey from her birthplace in the subtropical waters in Hawaii to summer feeding grounds in the cold seas off Alaska's southeast coast. The youngster will meet dangerous orcas and sharks and playful dolphins and seals. She will learn to use her flippers and tail to announce herself and to communicate with other whales. By the time mother and offspring return to Hawaii for the winter, the young humpback will be ready to set out on her own and find her own place in the community of whales.

THE MORMONS

Monday and Tuesday, April 5-6, 9pm

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of America's fastest-growing religions and, relative to its size, one of the richest. Church membership is 12 million people worldwide, a credit to late LDS President Gordon Hinckley, who died on January 27, 2008. This four-hour documentary brings together FRONTLINE and AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in a co-production that provides a searching portrait of this fascinating but often misunderstood religion.

NOVA

PBS' premier science series helps viewers of all ages explore the science behind the headlines. Along the way, NOVA programs demystify science and technology and highlight the people involved in scientific pursuits.

"Hunting the Edge of Space: The Mystery of the Milky Way"

April 6

Three centuries of engineering have produced telescopes far beyond Galileo's simple spyglass. Perched on mountaintops, orbiting the Earth, and even circling other planets, these telescopes are revealing the solar system in detail Galileo could only dream of. This episode brings viewers up close with today's most powerful telescopes and embarks on a stunning journey to the planets and moons now being imaged as never before.

"Hunting the Edge of Space: The Ever Expanding Universe"

April 13

From the discovery that the Milky Way is just one galaxy among billions to the stunning revelation that these galaxies are speeding away from each other faster every second, this episode investigates the universe's distant past - and its future. Now, modern telescopes have added a mysterious new twist to the plot: The vast majority of the stuff of the universe is invisible, tied up in dark matter and dark energy. But what are these mysterious dark forces? A new generation of telescopes is embarking on a mission impossible to see the unseeable and answer one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the cosmos.

"The Big Energy Gamble"

April 20

Arnold Schwarzenegger is betting on green. He wants to roll California's greenhouse gas emissions back to their 1990 levels, and he's promising Californians that their lifestyles - and their pocketbooks- won't feel the pinch. But is Schwarzenegger gambling with his state's economy? With help from eco-celebrities like Ed Begley, Jr. and Bill Nye "The Science Guy," NOVA examines California's aggressive pursuit of a sustainable energy future. From San Francisco's Luscious Garage, where mechanics create custom plug-in hybrids for customers like Google, to the Tehachapi Valley, where thousands of wind turbines are spinning out electricity, NOVA visits the places where green energy is already becoming a reality. Yet some critics fear that, as the nation struggles through an economic meltdown, the state's new policies are inviting dire consequences. Will California be a role model for the rest of the country or a cautionary tale?

"Mind Over Money"

April 27

In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, NOVA presents "Mind Over Money" - an entertaining and penetrating exploration of why mainstream economists failed to predict the crash of 2008 and why we so often make irrational financial decisions. It's a show that reveals surprising, hidden money drives in us all and explores controversial new arguments about the world of finance. Before the current crash, most Wall Street analysts believed that markets are "efficient" - that investors are reasonable and always operate in their own self-interest. Most of the time, these assumptions of classical economics work well enough. But in extreme situations, people panic and conventional theories collapse. In the face of the recent crash, can a new science that aims to incorporate human psychology into finance - behavioral economics - do better? "Mind Over Money" re-creates some of the new field's most compelling experiments. Viewers will see how the brains and bodies of Wall Street traders respond as they buy and sell stocks. They'll watch as an ingenious experiment reveals how too many spending choices and the way they're framed can overwhelm consumers' ability to make rational decisions. Through these entertaining real-life experiments, NOVA shows how mood, decision-making and economic activity are all tightly interwoven. By delivering unexpected insights from leading analysts and powerful experiments, "Mind Over Money" exposes the mysterious and surprising nature of the two most powerful forces on our planet: the human mind and money.

THE BUDDHA (HD)

Wednesday, April 7, 8pm

Two and a half millennia ago, a new religion was born in northern India, generated from the ideas of a single man, the Buddha, a mysterious Indian sage who famously gained enlightenment while he sat under a large, shapely fig tree. The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on earth. He said only that he was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, had found a kind of serenity that others could find, too. This documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin tells the story of his life, a journey especially relevant in our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion. Richard Gere narrates.

Safe in Palestine in 1944, Senesh joined a mission to rescue Jews in her native Hungary. It was the only military rescue mission for Jews during the Holocaust. Senesh parachuted behind enemy lines, was captured, tortured and ultimately executed by the Nazis. Her mother, Catherine, witnessed the entire ordeal - first as a prisoner with Hannah and later as her advocate, braving the bombed-out streets of Budapest in a desperate attempt to save her daughter. By Roberta Grossman.

"DIRT! The Movie" (HD and SD)

Tuesday, April 20, 10pm

Narrated by award-winning actress, author and social activist Jamie Lee Curtis, "DIRT! The Movie" delves into the fascinating history of this lowly substance, explaining how four billion years of evolution have created the dirt that recycles our water, gives us food, provides us shelter and can be used as a source of medicine, beauty and culture. But people have become greedy and careless, endangering this vital living resource with destructive methods of agriculture, mining practices and urban development. This abusive behavior has yielded catastrophic results: mass starvation, drought, floods and global warming. But as the film shows, times are changing - brown is the new green. Filmmakers Bill Benensen and Gene Rosow traveled to more than 20 locations around the world, visiting renowned global visionaries who are discovering new ways of thinking as they come together to repair this natural resource with practical, viable solutions.

Tuesday, April 27, 10pm

Filmed over four years, "Garbage Dreams" follows three teenage boys born into the trash trade and growing up in the world's largest garbage village, a ghetto located on the outskirts of Cairo.

When their community is suddenly faced with the globalization of its trade, each of the teenage boys is forced to make choices that will affect his future and the survival of his community. By Mai Iskander.

THE POLIO CRUSADE: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

Monday, April 12, 9pm

It was the largest public health experiment in American history - a crusade that eradicated polio, one of the 20th-century's most dreaded diseases. The polio epidemic terrified Americans for decades, affecting thousands of children, leaving many crippled, paralyzed or condemned to life in an iron lung. But on April 26, 1954, hope emerged. At the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia, six-year-old Randy Kerr stood at the head of a long line of children and waited patiently while a nurse gently rolled up his sleeve, then filled a syringe with a cherry-colored liquid containing the world's first polio vaccine. Developed just a few years earlier by virologist Jonas Salk, the polio vaccine had not yet been widely tested on humans. No one was certain it was safe or whether it could provide effective protection against the disease. In the coming weeks, nearly two million school children in 44 states received the shots. The Salk vaccine trials were the dramatic culmination of years of research and a multi-million dollar investment, made up in large part by public donations. Based in part on David Oshinsky's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Polio: An American Story, this film chronicles a decades-long crusade, fueled by the bold leadership of a single philanthropy and its innovative public relations campaign, and features a bitter battle between two scientists and the breakthrough of a now-forgotten woman researcher.

AMONG THE RIGHTEOUS: LOST STORIES FROM THE HOLOCAUST IN ARAB LANDS (HD only)

Monday, April 12, 10pm

Did any Arabs save Jews during the Holocaust? Seeking a response to the plague of Holocaust denial in the Arab world, Robert Satloff, head of a respected Washington policy center, set off in the wake of 9/11 on what would become an eight-year journey to find an Arab hero whose story would change the way Arabs view Jews, themselves and their own history. Along the way, Satloff found not only the Arab heroes whom he sought, but a vast, lost history of what happened to the half-million Jews of the Arab lands of North Africa under Nazi, Vichy and Fascist rule.

FRONTLINE

"Obama's Deal"

Tuesday, April 13, 9pm

Healthcare reform was the first big policy deal taken on by the Obama administration. Many say the president has bet the mid-term elections, possibly his presidency, on the outcome. In a new investigation, FRONTLINE goes behind closed doors at the White House, in Congress and the boardrooms of the giant healthcare lobby to examine the political battles and costly compromises that defined Barack Obama's endeavor. From early positive efforts, through the bitter battles with the Tea Party, the elation of apparent success at Christmas, to the crushing failure in the Massachusetts' Senatorial election, FRONTLINE follows the story and reveals the first in-depth look at how the Obama administration operates. In "Obama's Deal," FRONTLINE veteran producer Michael Kirk ("Bush's War," "Dreams of Obama," "Inside the Meltdown," "The Warning") provides a sobering exposé of the realities of American politics, the power of special interest groups and the role of money in policy making.

"The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan"

Tuesday, April 20, 9pm

In Afghanistan today, in the midst of war and endemic poverty, an ancient tradition - banned when the Taliban were in power - has re-emerged across the country. It's called Bacha Bazi, translated literally as "boy play." Hundreds of boys, some as young as 11, street orphans or boys bought from poor families by former warlords and powerful businessmen, are dressed in woman's clothes, taught to sing and dance for the entertainment of male audiences, and then sold to the highest bidder or traded among the men for sex. With remarkable access inside a Bacha Bazi ring operating in Northern Afghanistan, Najibullah Quraishi, an Afghan journalist, investigates this practice, still illegal under Afghan law, talking with the boys, their families and their masters, exposing the sexual abuse and even murders of the boys, and documenting how Afghan authorities responsible for stopping these crimes are sometimes themselves complicit in the practice.

"The Vaccine War"

Tuesday, April 27, 9pm

Public health scientists and clinicians tout vaccines as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. But for many ordinary Americans vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots - some 26 inoculations for 14 different diseases by age six - and follow alternative vaccination schedules advocated by gurus like Dr. Robert Sears. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one-third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. And some advocacy groups, like Generation Rescue, argue that vaccines are no longer a public health miracle but a scourge; they view vaccines as responsible for alarming rises in certain disorders, including ADHD and autism. This is the vaccine war: On one side sits scientific medicine and the public health establishment; on the other a populist coalition of parents, celebrities, politicians and activists. It's a war that increasingly takes place on the Internet with both sides using the latest social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to win the hearts and minds of the public.

HOUSE OF LIFE: THE OLD JEWISH CEMETERY IN PRAGUE (HD)

Friday, April 16, 10pm

Prague's Old Jewish Cemetery, a place of haunting beauty and mystery, has endured wars and pogroms, floods and fires, assimilation and an urban clearing project that destroyed most of the ancient Jewish Quarter it once served. Miraculously, it even survived the Nazi occupation and 40 years of communist neglect. HOUSE OF LIFE tells the story of the vibrant Prague Jewish community of the past and of today's small Jewish community for whom the cemetery still serves as a spiritual center. The film features the curators, historians, rabbis, guides and conservationists who are all devoted to the preservation of this unforgettable place. Claire Bloom narrates.

P.O.V. "Food, Inc."

Thursday, April 21, 9pm

American agriculture has in many respects been the envy of the world. U.S. agri-business consistently produces more food on less land and at cheaper cost than the farmers of any other nation. What could possibly be wrong with that? As recounted in this sweeping, shockingly informative documentary, sick animals, environmental degradation, tainted and unhealthy food and obesity, diabetes and other health issues are only the more obvious problems with a highly mechanized and centralized system that touts efficiency as the supreme value in food production. Filmmaker Robert Kenner marshals mountains of data, vérité visits to production sites and footage of meat-packing operations secretly shot by workers, plus eye-opening testimony from farmers, workers, consumers' advocates and the few industry people willing to talk in their own defense. Food, Inc. also features the on- and off-screen guidance of Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) and such practitioners of organic, sustainable farming as Joel Salatin of Virginia's Polyface Farms.

The special takes a wide-ranging look at a variety of approaches and levels of commitment and at the individuals who have helped turn green building theory into reality.

MY LAI: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

April 26, 9pm

What drove a company of American soldiers - ordinary young men deployed to liberate a small foreign nation from an oppressive neighbor - to murder more than 300 unarmed Vietnamese civilians? Were they "just following orders," as some later declared? Or, as others argued, did they break under the pressure of a misguided military strategy that measured victory by body count? Today, as the United States once again finds itself questioning the morality of actions taken in the name of war, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Barak Goodman ("The Lobotomist," "Scottsboro: An American Tragedy") focuses his lens on the 1968 My Lai massacre, its subsequent cover-up and the heroic efforts of the soldiers who broke rank to halt the atrocities. "My Lai" draws upon eyewitness accounts of Vietnamese survivors and men of the Charlie Company 11th Infantry Brigade and recently discovered audio recordings from the Peers Inquiry to recount one of the darkest chapters of the Vietnam War.

ROSEVELT'S AMERICA

Monday, April 26, 10:30pm

After two year of juggling low-wage jobs, Rosevelt's perseverance pays off and he is reunited with his wife, Frances, and his baby daughter. By witnessing Rosevelt's day-to-day struggles, frustrations and achievements, viewers come to appreciate the distance he has traveled during his harrowing journey from torture and desperation in his native Liberia to security and stability in his newly adopted homeland.

APPALACHIA: A HISTORY OF MOUNTAINS AND PEOPLE (HD only)

Thursday April 29, 10pm

APPALACHIA: A HISTORY OF MOUNTAINS AND PEOPLE offers an unprecedented look at both the natural and human history of America's mountain home. With Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek as narrator, magnificent visuals, colorful stories and insightful interviews with experts like author Barbara Kingsolver and Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist E.O. Wilson, the cast of scientists, historians and artists weaves a surprising tale that twists and climbs like a mountain road. APPALACHIA is the story of the black bear and the salamander, of the Iroquois and the Cherokee, of Revolutionary War heroes and Civil War atrocities, of brutal industrial logging and furious labor battles. The extraction of natural resources has pushed Appalachia to the brink, but the region's diversity, ingenuity and strength of spirit endure. This four-part series isn't just the story of Appalachia: It is a window into our struggle to find a proper relationship with the natural world.

"Time and Terrain"

The first hour of this series about the deep and surprising history of Appalachia explores the region's unique mosaic of plant, animal and early human life. As Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist E.O. Wilson notes, "A history of a region includes not just the people, but the creatures and the living environment." Geology is destiny. The Appalachian Mountains hold their treasure of mineral and timber wealth because they were born of a primeval ocean. Early North Americans settled here because giant mammals gave them vast food supplies. Over thousands of years, they formed highly sophisticated cultures, until 1540 when Hernando de Soto ruined them in his violent, single-minded hunt for gold. The tribes that remained after de Soto's brutal swath adopted the gun as their chief technology. England, Spain and France would court these skilled hunters and warriors as allies in the early struggle to dominate America. Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek narrates.
