Some of the most famous words ever written are found in the most widely read book in history: the Bible. This film travels back in time to one of the most turbulent periods in history - the Reformation - to tell the extraordinary story of a group of men who set out on what they believed to be a divinely inspired mission: to bring the Scriptures to people in their own language for the first time. It is the story of kings and popes, spies and secret missions, faith and flames. Using dramatic reconstruction and contemporary records, the program re-creates 300 years of religious turmoil and human drama - and reveals a historical thriller of faith, obsession, courage, narrow escapes, intrigue and betrayal.

In 2008, Mark Hogancamp was attacked outside of a bar by five men who nearly beat him to death. Mark suffered brain damage and physical injuries so severe even his own mother didn't recognize him. After nine days in a coma and 40 days in the hospital, Mark was discharged with little memory of his previous life. Unable to afford therapy, Mark decided to create his own. In his backyard, he built Marwencol, a 1/6th scale World War II-era town that he populated with dolls representing his friends, family, and even his attackers. He used the small dolls and props to redevelop his hand-eye coordination, while he dealt with the psychic wounds from his attack through the town's many battles and dramas. After a few years, Mark started documenting his miniature dramas with his camera. Through Mark's lens, these were no longer dolls – they were living, breathing characters in an epic story full of violence, jealousy, longing and revenge.

The music enabled African Americans to sing words they could not say, and it was crucial in helping protesters face down brutal aggression with dignity and non-violence. The infectious energy of the songs swept people up and empowered them to fight for their rights. Soundtrack for a Revolution is a vibrant blend of heart-wrenching interviews, dramatic images and thrilling contemporary performances by top artists including John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean and The Roots.

"Design must be intellectually elegant," poses Massimo Vignelli. "What is intellectually elegant? Well, it's the opposite of vulgar." As the man behind such simple and beautiful design from the Helvetica font to the New York Subway map, the design world is indebted to this pragmatic yet lyrical designer. In this episode, Italian-born designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli discuss the art of balance and problem-solving in their award-winning work in industrial and product design; graphic design; book, magazine and packaging design; and furniture and jewelry design. Lella has said, "If you do it right, it will last forever," simple logic that can be applied not only to the Vignellis' timeless and influential design but to their longtime marriage and professional partnership.

When Fred Martinez told his mother that he felt as if he was both a boy and a girl, she explained that this was a special gift according to traditional Navajo culture. But where two discriminations meet is a dangerous place to live, and Fred became one of the youngest hate crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at 16.
This film interweaves the tragic story of a mother's loss of her son with a revealing look at the largely unknown history of a time when the world wasn't simply divided into male and female, and people of integrated genders were held in honor by many Native American cultures. Powerful and moving, Lydia Nibley's film explores the life and death of Fred Martinez and the ancient Native American two-spirit tradition.

Description:
This week on Insights, we'll examine the results of the just-concluded 2011 legislative session. This year the unenviable task put before state lawmakers was finding a way to close a budget deficit estimated at more than a billion dollars over the next 2 years. When the job calls for raising taxes and cutting spending on critical services, it's hard to make anyone happy. How did they do? We'll ask House and Senate leaders, a member of the Republican minority and our State Capitol analyst Richard Borreca to weigh in.
Joining host Dan Boylan will be: Rep. Calvin Say (D), Speaker of the State House of Representatives; Rep. Gil Riviere, Republican Caucus, State House of Representatives; and Richard Borreca, Honolulu Star-Advertiser Political Columnist.

HIKI NŌ participants were expected to do up to five drafts of their stories before they were accepted for air by PBS Hawaii. Most rose to the occasion of meeting the "real world" deadline of an airdate. It was no surprise then that many stories were about teens taking responsibility.
A story thread woven through some reports showed different factions of a community coming together to solve a problem. Other stories focused on people who rebounded from devastating setbacks. Still more featured cultural food traditions. Knowing their grandparents' generation were likely viewers, some students responded with stories that tried to bridge the technology gap between teenagers and folks born in the first half of the previous century.
HIKI NŌ will be on summer break and will return with a brand new season in the fall. If you attend, work at, or know of a school that wants to join the Nation's First Statewide Student News Network, log onto pbshawaii.org and go to the HIKI NŌ page.

Description:
The 2011 Legislative session ended with a balanced budget, but is the safety net intact for those who depend on the state's social services agencies and the non-profit service sector? Advocates for programs that include assistance to needy families, mental health support, the elderly and the prevention of domestic violence contend that the severe budget cuts are shortsighted without enough thought given to the long-term consequences.
Joining host Dan Boylan will be a group of community advocates who will discuss and rate this year's legislative decisions and the impact on the well-being of our community. The guests are: Jan Dill, CEO of Partners in Development; David Derauf, MD, MPH, Executive Director of Kokua Kalihi Valley; Jerry Rauckhorst, CEO of Catholic Charities; and Alex Santiago, Executive Director of PHOCUSED (Protecting Hawaii's Ohana, Children, UnderServed, Elderly and Disabled).

It has been shot at, exploded, set on fire, rocked by earthquakes, looted for its magnificent sculptures and subjected to restorations that have been termed "catastrophic." Despite so much abuse and renown as an icon of Western civilization, the question of how the Parthenon was built has been largely ignored until recently. Now, thanks to the Greek government's $10 billion restoration program, scholars are finally probing the enigmas of its planning and construction. With unprecedented access, NOVA presents the inside story of the official restoration, which reaches far beyond the challenges and controversies of conserving one of the world's best-known buildings.
