- This riveting 2-part series hosted by Ron Livingston of HBO's "Band of Brothers" weaves together archival footage, sophisticated computer animation and interviews with actual WWII veterans in order to tell the complete story of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment's accomplishments during D-Day and the subsequent week.
- Three wannabe burglars break into a dive bar. Only two walk out. The question is - what will they do with the body?
- 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.
- In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of thousands were left homeless in the Gulf region. So how can the rest of the nation help? This special episode of "Some Assembly Required" tells the story of how Habitat for Humanity volunteers from across the country gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC to frame up 51 homes prefab style, in an event called "Operation Home Delivery". The show follows build leader Jillian Gross as she follows one of her homes to Louisiana. There, in a 6-day blitz build, she and other Habitat volunteers construct a new home for the Carrington family - who had been left devastated by last year's hurricanes.
- Chef Whisperbrook used to be one of the finest chefs in town, until he decided to go vegan. Now he sells his all-veggie-based concoctions at a downtown bakery that's about to be reviewed. But when his former coworker Chef Dailey arrives to badger him into returning to "Wholesome buttery goodness", Chef Whisperbrook must go to extreme measures to rid himself of his pesky adversary before the food critic arrives.
