- Erin Moriarty takes you inside true-crime investigations like no one else, taking on killers and those accused of crimes.

- He's tough, he's bald, he's British, and he's the guy police departments across America call when they have a new threat to tackle. This is Paul Castle, whose unorthodox training techniques - including everything from humor to humiliation - prepare local police officers for dangerous work. Paul goes to a new police department to help officers with a special challenge, whether it's bringing down meth dealers or kidnappers. Viewers will see how the officers change under Paul's tutelage - especially the weakest one, who will be profiled - and then watch the cops handle a highly realistic mock mission, or possibly a real raid.
- After the stock market crashed in 1929, millions of Americans lost their jobs, their savings and their homes. President Herbert Hoover urged patience and self-reliance: He thought the crisis was just "a passing incident in our national lives," which the federal government wasn't responsible for resolving. In 1932, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, New York governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, declared that, indeed, the government could try to make Americans' lives better. "I pledge myself to a New Deal for the American people," he said in his acceptance speech at his party's convention, and he meant it. Over the next nine years, Roosevelt's programs and policies did more than just adjust interest rates, tinker with farm subsidies and create short-term make-work programs. They created a brand-new, if tenuous, political coalition that included white working people, African-Americans and left-wing intellectuals. These people rarely shared the same interests-at least, they rarely thought they did-but they did share a powerful belief that an interventionist government was good for their families, the economy and the nation. Their coalition has splintered over time, but many of the New Deal programs that bound them together are still with us today.

- There is a strange and deadly new virus in Asia, and it claims the lives of nearly 50% of its victims. A team of virus hunters travels to Bangladesh, the latest front in the battle against the recently-discovered Nipah virus, to capture the puppy-sized bats that are believed to be the source of this frightening killer. We'll also trace the evolution of AIDS, SARS, West Nile, the Spanish Flu and the Avian Flu - all diseases that made the jump from animal to human, and then human to human. Increasingly, our global progress is itself a factor that helps these viruses to become resilient. What seems exotic and distant in Africa or Asia today could arrive on our doorsteps tomorrow. Is Nipah the next epidemic?
- Although everyone was aware of the fact that Saddam Hussein was a ruthless dictator who brutalized his countrymen, it only after the 2003 invasion of Iraq that the world began to get a full glimpse of the extent of the terror apparatus that Saddam used to maintain a stranglehold on Iraq.

- This was the story of apartheid South Africa as seen through the eyes of the children of that country. Many children were interviewed, but two were the most important.

- Five years after 9/11, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center continue to claim the lives of American citizens. The violent collapse of the buildings released hundreds of thousands of pounds of deadly materials into the air - including carcinogens such as asbestos and benzene, lead and mercury from the thousands of crushed computers, and other toxins such as PCPs, PAHs and silicon particulates. Yet in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the federal agency responsible for safeguarding the public health - the Environmental Protection Agency - reassured everyone that their air was safe to breathe. Now more than ever - it seems that this was not the case. Countless first responders - emergency technicians, police officers, and firefighters - have grown ill as a result of their exposure to toxins from the smoldering pile that once was the World Trade Center. Some have contracted severe respiratory problems such as chronic asthma and reactive airway disease. Others have been diagnosed with more serious illnesses such as leukemia, pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma and kidney disease. And though initially regarded as heroes, they have been abandoned by their government in their quest to seek medical treatment and financial help for their families. Featuring interviews with prominent scientists, EPA officials and the now-sick heroes of 9/11, Dust to Dust is a tragic, cautionary tale about heroism, survival, and ultimately betrayal. Narrated by actor and former firefighter Steve Buscemi, the film thoroughly explores and exposes this under-reported health crisis of unprecedented magnitude.

- The Warsaw Rising of August 1, 1944 was one of the most desperate and tragic battles in modern warfare. Waged by an ill-equipped but heroic insurgent army against the mighty German war machine, the bloody 63-day battle ultimately led to the total destruction of Warsaw, Poland's ancient capital city and to the death of over 250,000 Polish civilians and soldiers. It was a battle that could have changed world history. If the Poles had won, they and the whole of Eastern Europe might have escaped Soviet domination for the next 45 years. Yet, even as the fighting raged in the heart of their beloved city, the Poles were callously betrayed; not by their enemies; but by their allies.
