__________________
º Shot over a three-year
period in the refugee camps of
north-western Pakistan and in the
war-torn city of Kabul, three
women's personal stories are
portrayed within the larger context
of international interference, war,
and the rise of religious
fundamentalists in Afghanistan.
*
One
of the rare few who have managed to
excel in both art and architecture,
Maya Lin creates places of refuge
and contemplation in highly public
spaces. Constructed on an intimate
human scale, they invite visitors to
touch, feel, respond and reflect. In
this program, the acclaimed sculptor
and architect talks with Bill Moyers
about a life and career that has
been shaped by her Chinese-American
heritage and a profound respect and
love for the natural environment.
◊ Through
interviews with Palestinian women,
including a peasant who wants
schooling for her daughter,
university students of diverging
opinions, two differing feminist
activists, and two runaways, the
range of Islamic feminism is
presented in its social, political,
and religious context.
Ω
Reveals the heart, mind,
and soul of half of the world's
human population--women. In each
program, women from around the world
tell their personal stories and
discuss the burning issues facing
all women today.
†
Investigates cases of
women murdered in Pakistan in the
name of honor, and the impunity
granted to the perpetrators through
the fundamentalist interpretation of
Islam. |
