Aloha mai kakou from Leslie Wilcox, President and CEO... Happy Aloha Friday! And here’s wishing you a great Independence Day weekend! Just ahead, we have a splendid week of programming to offer you, full of variety... 
One of PBS’ most-watched annual programs, A CAPITOL FOURTH
(Mon., July 4, 7:30 pm, with an encore at 9:00 pm), comes to us from the
West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Scheduled to appear: Gavin DeGraw, Jackie
Evancho, Sutton Foster and the Broadway cast of On Your Feet!,
Christopher Jackson of Broadway’s Hamilton, Kenny Loggins,
Cassadee Pope, Amber Riley, Smokey Robinson, the National
Symphony Orchestra – and, of course, a grand fireworks display.
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAII
(Thurs., July 7, 8:00 pm) kicks off Election 2016 coverage with an
overview discussion on key local races and the issues driving these
races – including the messy Presidential contest, and local elections
for Mayor and your district’s state representative. Leaders from
Hawaii’s Democratic and Republican parties, along with political
analysts, take a look at what’s at stake.
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAII is a live public affairs show that is also streamed live on PBSHawaii.org. Your questions and comments are welcome via phone, email, or Twitter during the broadcast. You may email us ahead of time to insights@pbshawaii.org, or include the #pbsinsights hashtag when posting on Twitter. 
A locally produced series that has “gone national” on PBS stations across
the country,
FAMILY INGREDIENTS (Wed., July 6, 7:30 pm),
continues its adventures in genealogy, culture and cuisine. Host Ed Kenney
joins a Hokulea crew member, Maui Tauotaha, as he reunites with his
grandparents in Tahiti – and learns about the secrets behind his
favorite family dish, Poisson Cru (pictured).
A Waianae High School valedictorian hosts this compilation episode of
HIKI NŌ
(Thurs., July 7, 7:30 pm). Crystal Cebedo, who started producing video
stories as a Waianae Intermediate student, will be attending Menlo
College in Atherton, California on a full scholarship. Besides
introducing seven outstanding stories from the spring 2016 semester,
Crystal takes us on her HIKI NŌ journey – from her first story in
middle school, about coping with her mother’s terminal cancer, to
learning leadership skills in high school.
This episode features previously aired stories from: Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School (Kauai); H.P. Baldwin High School (Maui); Hongwanji Mission School (Oahu); Ka Waihona o ka Naauao Public Charter School (Oahu); Kua o ka La Milolii Hipuu Virtual Academy (Hawaii Island); Seabury Hall Middle School (Maui); and Waianae High School (Oahu). 
A Dutch au pair goes missing on ENDEAVOUR SEASON 3 ON MASTERPIECE
(Sun., July 3, 8:00 pm). On Prey, Detective Endeavour Morse finds
himself in disparate worlds, from Oxford scientific academia, to the
untamed Oxfordshire countryside.
Many animals take to the skies for a split second, but to stay up there,
the planet’s strongest flyers, Masters of the Sky, push the laws
of physics to the limit. SUPERNATURE – WILD FLYERS (Wed., July 6,
8:00 pm) explores the extremes of true flight: power, acceleration, top
speed, maneuverability and endurance.
9 MONTHS THAT MADE YOU (Wed., July 6, 10:00 pm) shows us how each
of us became One of a Kind, from how our faces are shaped to which
hand we prefer to write with. Not even “identical” twins are truly identical.
Host Zay Harding visits one of the world’s biggest railway networks
on GLOBE TREKKER (Thurs., July 7, 10:00 pm). Tough Trains: India’s
Independence Railroads highlights this transit system, built during the
19th century by the British, and ultimately played a role in
India’s independence.
The 11 remaining bakers on THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW
(Fri., July 8, 9:00 pm) must tackle making Biscuits. Biscotti are
the Signature challenge, while the Technical demands puff pastry arlettes.
The Showstopper task is to create and build an edible biscuit box filled with
36 biscuits of different flavors. Robert and Deanna Levy, a Honolulu couple,
are personally sponsoring broadcasts of this appealing series.
“Demon Chef” Alvin Leung continues his visit to the Bay Area on
SUPPER CLUB (Sat., July 9, 7:00 pm). San Francisco, Part Two
features Chefs Corey Lee of Benu and Adam Mali of Mandarin Oriental Hotel,
as well as Sonoma Valley winemaker Korbin Ming.
On FAKE OR FORTUNE? (Sat., July 9, 8:00 pm), journalist Fiona Bruce
and art detective Philip Mould try to prove the origins of a painting in
a Welsh castle. Is it the work of the celebrated French Impressionist,
Pierre Auguste Renoir? For 50 years, the painting has been dogged
by doubt and two powerful art world authorities can’t agree whether it’s
genuine or fake.
