Fly With Me

American Experience

This documentarytells the story of the pioneering young women who became flight attendants at a time when single women were unable to order a drink, eat alone in a restaurant, own a credit card or get a prescription for birth control. Becoming a “stewardess,” as they were called, offered unheard-of opportunities for travel, glamour, adventure and independence. Although often maligned as feminist sellouts, these women were on the frontlines of the battle to assert gender equality and transform the workplace. Featuring firsthand accounts, personal stories and a rich archival record, the film tells the lively and important but neglected history of the women who changed the world while flying it.

The Janes

HBO

In the spring of 1972, police raided an apartment on the South Side of Chicago where seven women who were part of a clandestine network were arrested and charged. Using code names, fronts, and safe houses to protect themselves and their work, the accused had built an underground service for women seeking safe, affordable, illegal abortions. They called themselves “Jane.” Directed by Oscar-nominee Tia Lessin (HBO’sTrouble the Water) and Emmy-nominee Emma Pildes (HBO’sJane Fonda in Five Acts),The Janesoffers first-hand accounts from the women at the center of the group, many speaking on the record for the first time.The Janestells the story of a group of unlikely outlaws. Defying the state legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was profiting from it, the members of Jane risked their personal and professional lives to help women in need. In the pre-Roe v. Wadeera––a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about abortion was a felony in Illinois––the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000 women.

Should We Address the Gender Wage Gap?: A Debate

Open to Debate

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, American women are paid 84 cents on average, for every dollar men make. This wage gap has persisted despite near-record rates of women's participation in the labor market, with wage gaps even larger for women in minority populations, and experts estimate that pay parity will not be achieved until 2052. Should policy interventions address these disparities, or is it more important to recognize and honor women's personal decisions and find another way to look at the gap? Supporters of addressing the gender wage gap see it as a point of fairness and equity that would bring economic benefits, they argue, such as higher family incomes and greater productivity. New laws and policies, they contend, are needed to dismantle systemic barriers that prevent women from earning more. Opponents of addressing the gender wage gap argue that such disparities reflect individual choices regarding career paths, work-life balance, and tenure, rather than systemic discrimination. They also contend that when adjusted for factors like job type, hours worked, and taking breaks in one's career, the gap significantly narrows. Should we address the gender wage gap?

Kant - The Experiment of Freedom

New Docs

Immanuel Kant was one of the key Enlightenment thinkers during his lifetime and is still one of the most influential figures in Western philosophy today. Kant wanted to explain the world, but at the same time he was aware that he himself – like all human beings – only had a limited capacity for understanding. He never left his native Königsberg (Germany), learning all he knew about world affairs from books and observation of his environment and his own emotional life. He combined all this knowledge into a complex system of concepts, categories, and matrices to create his moral philosophy. Filmed for the three hundredth anniversary of his birth – in April 2024 – this program shows just how closely Kant was connected to his native town of Königsberg. It poses anew many of the pressing questions that plagued people 300 years ago, in the face of today's climate catastrophe and war in Europe.

mRNA - Hype or Hope

New Docs

For many years, mRNA technology seemed unsuitable as a therapeutic approach. But today, it is expected that in the future mRNA will be used to treat a wide range of diseases – including cancer, HIV, malaria, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases. This program examines how mRNA vaccines work, showing how they transport the blueprint of a viral protein into cells which then begin to produce the foreign biomolecule, causing the immune system to ramp up its defenses against the virus, even though it only knows a small, harmless part of the pathogen. Scientists started investigating mRNA a good three decades ago with the aim of developing individual therapies to treat cancer. The video looks at clinical studies on how heart muscle regenerates immediately after a heart attack with an mRNA-based therapy, as well as how people with autoimmune diseases or HIV could also benefit from mRNA preparations and vaccines. The program also explains how mRNA vaccines can be adapted more quickly than conventional vaccines – and would therefore be more effective against changing viral strains, such as the flu.

The Science of Avalanches

Is Carbon Capture Essential to Fighting Climate Change?: A Debate

Open to Debate

The main cause of climate change is the emission into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas that is released by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal. To reduce these emissions and slow climate change, some scientists have developed a technology called carbon capture and storage, in which CO2 is extracted and stored in underground facilities. In early 2023, Exxon Mobil, one of the world's largest oil companies, began using this technology to trap some 7 million tons of CO2 each year, and other major companies have offered similar plans. Capturing and burying these dangerous gases, supporters argue, will protect the planet and help prevent climate change. It will also, they contend, enable people to safely use fossil fuels while the world transitions to cleaner forms of energy. But opponents voice skepticism. Carbon capture technology is expensive, unreliable, and untested, they argue, and unrealistic on a large scale. Focusing on this technology, they charge, only distracts from broader efforts to lower emissions and slow climate change. Is carbon capture essential to fighting climate change?

Is Islam Antisemitic?: A Debate

Open to Debate

Though they share many similar values, guidelines, and principles, Islam and Judaism have a long, complicated relationship that has led to tension between followers of the two religions. Citing the Quran, the Muslim holy book, other Islamic texts, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, some have labeled Islam antisemitic. Supporters of this view argue that certain Quranic verses, when taken literally or interpreted negatively, foster antisemitism in Muslim education systems and culture, which is used to justify negative stereotypes or hostility toward Jews. Opponents of this view dispute these charges and argue that many Quranic references to Jews are typically misinterpreted and must be understood in their historical and scholarly contexts. They also emphasize that throughout the past 1,500 years, many Muslim empires and countries have hosted thriving Jewish communities and both welcomed and respected the Jewish people.

Is the ICC’s Warrant Against Netanyahu Justified?: A Debate

Open to Debate

The International Criminal Court (ICC), a global tribunal based in The Hague, Netherlands with 124 member states, is tasked with prosecuting world leaders who are charged with committing the most serious offenses, such as genocide and war crimes. In May 2024, the ICC issued arrest warrants for several Israeli and Hamas officials, including Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, for various crimes in the ongoing Israel-Hamas War in the Middle East. ICC prosecutors accused Netanyahu of multiple war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the starvation of civilians as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population.” Although Israel is not a signatory to the ICC, the global legal implications of the warrant still affect Netanyahu by limiting where he can travel and risking arrest if he visits a country or Western ally that belongs to the tribunal. Supporters of the warrant against Netanyahu argue that he must face charges for the heinous crimes he has allegedly committed. International law must be enforced, they contend, and provide both accountability and justice to victims. Opponents of the warrant against Netanyahu argue that the actions he took were to protect his country against Hamas. The ICC has no legal jurisdiction over Israeli citizens, they contend, and the charges are politically motivated. Is the ICC’s warrant against Netanyahu justified?

Wokeness in Public Schools: Helping or Hurting Students?: A Debate

Open to Debate

Over the past decade, social justice movements in the United States have encouraged public school officials and educators to teach students about systemic racism, privilege, gender diversity, and sexual orientation—subject matter that some refer to as “woke.” While some school districts have adopted such policies, some parents, teachers, and community leaders question whether these subjects should be taught in the classroom. Supporters of teaching these subjects in school argue that they make students more socially aware and responsible citizens. Educating America’s youth about historical injustices and topics surrounding race and gender, they contend, helps create a more just and inclusive society. Opponents of teaching these subjects in school argue that they indoctrinate students into learning about certain divisive topics and ideologies their parents may oppose. Educating the nation’s young people on these “woke” issues can polarize students, they contend, and induce guilt, discomfort, and a “victim mentality.” Is wokeness in public schools helping or hurting students?

The Woke Revolution

Java Films

In the USA, a new identity movement is emerging. Its mission: to fight against ethnic, sexual, and gender discrimination and to impose new rules. Its name: “woke.” To be woke is to be aware of the discrimination suffered by minorities and of white privilege. In Denver, Colorado, wealthy white Americans pay $500 to attend dinner parties where they are told they are unknowingly racist. At New York City Hall, a special commission tracks the “micro-aggressions” suffered by citizens from minorities. Holding the door for a woman, supposedly physically weaker than a man, can thus be considered a micro-aggression. Those who oppose this ideology are considered racist and are “cancelled,” that is to say socially eliminated and shamed on social networks. When UCLA economics professor, Gordon Klein, refused to automatically raise the marks of his black students who were taking an exam after the death of George Floyd and who, as such, would have been traumatized, he received death threats. He now lives under FBI protection and has been suspended. But some feel the woke revolution has gone too far. Even Terrence Floyd, George’s own brother murdered by the police, calls for a return to universalism and tolerance.

Why Economists don't Care about the Debt—Bloomberg QuickTakes

Bloomberg

There's been a sharp turn in thinking about how much the size of the national debt actually matters, and economists are abandoning the debt-to-GDP (gross domestic product) ratio as the key measure of fiscal sustainability and the long-term burden of debt on society. Instead they've turned to another metric—the size of interest payments on federal debt relative to GDP—to make the case for much higher levels of deficit spending.

Crisis on Campus

Beautiful Worlds (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

The wonders of our planet are myriad. But it is only as we look out that we begin to understand what really powers our perfect blue world. The Sun is in the center of it all, reaching out not just with gravity but energy into the space around it.

Mars on High (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

The red planet looms large in our solar system … and in our dreams. It fills our minds with possibilities and promise, fuelling a hunger to embrace and explore. And though our robots play on Mars’ sandy surface, there is still much to learn safe from the higher ground of orbit.

Endless Galaxies (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

With only our eyes, stars and planets led us on a journey of discovery. Then telescopes slowly revealed the galaxies, full blown metropolises of stars. These gigantic star cities glow brightly across time and space, showing us a universe much more complex than we had ever imagined.

The Milky Way (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

The Milky Way is an ancient structure, forming out of the mists of the early universe. Its many brilliant vistas spark curiosity about the galaxy’s past, present and future. And as we piece together it’s dramatic story, we are also discovering our own.

Stellar Nurseries (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Deep within galaxies lie wispy, luminous clouds called nebulas. Observed from a great distance, nebulas appear still and calm. Up close, they are as noisy and active as any nursery -- soaked with radiation and beset by fierce winds. It is in a nebula that a star’s life story begins.

Giant Molecular Clouds (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

There are stunning examples of giant molecular clouds all around the night sky. These spectacular concentrations of gas and dust and everything that will ever be foretell the genesis of something new, something profound. And the first chapter in the story of us.

Made of Stars (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Through early telescopes, the dying breaths of stars looked like small planet disks, and were called ‘planetary nebulas’. Clearer views painted a more interesting picture: stars seeding the universe with the complex elements needed to make all of the amazing things we see around us.

Radiance in Death (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

To witness a supernova is to see a star suddenly appear in the sky, briefly outshining everything around it, then gradually fade back to nothing. These powerful stellar explosions are an awe inspiring reminder of how connected we are to the grand cycles of the cosmos.

Star Clusters (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Of all the things to see in the night sky, star clusters might be the most striking. Stars travelling together in space, like precious gems bound by gravity’s chain. The clusters tell stories about where stars come from, and ultimately, where we come from.

Ancient Objects (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Globular clusters, spectacular assemblies of stars, sparkle like jewels at the galaxy’s edge. The smallest contain ten thousand stars, and the largest, ten million. Over time, gravity has pulled these stars into a ball shape. And now they glitter in the dusk, like dandelions gone to seed.

The Andromeda Galaxy (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

2.4 million light years away, the Andromeda Galaxy appears as a fuzzy smudge against the black sky. But it is more than just our nearest massive neighbour. Detailed velocity measurements of Andromeda reveal an ominous secret: it is our future.

Colliding Galaxies (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Everywhere we look in the universe we see evidence of gravity’s hand crushing star cities together. Galactic collisions create star forming regions, and add to the galaxies finite supply of gas and dust, re-stocking and re-populating them for ongoing expansion projects.

Light Speed (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Almost everything in the night sky – stars, nebulas, galaxies – is beyond our physical reach, and always will be. They are also beyond our time. When we look into space, we do not see objects as they are now. We see them as they were when their light started its journey towards Earth.

Dark Matter & Dark Energy (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Most of the universe exists beyond our senses as dark matter and dark energy. These unknown entities contradict the immutable laws, and beg us to try and understand them. We can only imagine how these strange forces will reveal themselves in the years to come.

The Hubble Space Telescope (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

From the grand scale of spiral galaxies, to the fate of individual stars, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured countless scenes of drama and wonder. Science expected great things from Hubble, but no one could have predicted the larger effect that it would have on people.

Infrared Universe (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

VISTA, the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy, was built to observe in a colour of light that the human eye cannot see – infrared. Infrared light can travel through dust clouds, allowing infrared telescopes to pull back the veils on some of the universe’s most interesting objects.

Mighty Telescopes (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

From Stonehenge and Jaipur to modern day observatories, humans create special places to watch the sky, to spend the long, lonely nights drawn by its beauty, and to uncover its secrets. And for every leap in technology, our view gets clearer, and the cosmos gets more astounding.

Searching for Life (Sky Candy)

Derek Reid

Stuck on Earth, we have been able to learn many incredible things about the universe. We have even figured out that there is star dust in our blood. Once humans established this profound connection to the cosmos, the next question was obvious: if we are here, do others exist?
