May / Headlines
Fri., May 3rd at 8 p.m. / Great Performances: Paul Taylor Dance Co. in Paris
At an age when most artists’ best work is behind them, modern dance pioneer Paul Taylor continues to
win acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance and power of his recent dances, as well as his classics. Recorded
during the Taylor Company’s 2012 performances at the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris, GREAT
PERFORMANCES presents two of Taylor’s enduring masterworks: Brandenburgs, first performed in 1988
to music from Bach’s Brandenburg concertos #3 and #6; and his 2008 ballet Beloved Renegade, set to
Francis Poulenc’s “Gloria” and inspired by the life and work of poet Walt Whitman.
Tues., May 7th at 8 p.m. / Constitution USA with Peter Sagal
Breathing new life into the traditional civics lesson, Peter Sagal (host of NPR’s “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell
Me”) travels across the country on a Harley Davidson to find out where the U.S. Constitution lives, how it
works and how it doesn’t; how it unites us as a nation and how it has nearly torn us apart. Sagal introduces
some major constitutional debates today and talks with ordinary Americans and leading constitutional
experts about what the Constitution actually says and what it means, the dramatic historical events and
crises that have defined it, and why all this matters.

Nature: Legendary White Stallions
Hear the story of the world-famous Lipizzaner
stallions, from their origins in ancient times to the
almost unknown drama of their rescue in 1945.
The film, which focuses on the bond that develops
between horse and rider, begins at the Spanish
Riding School in Vienna. Here the perfect harmony
between horse and rider, as well as the beauty
and power of the magnificent white stallions, is
celebrated in their impressive performance. Their
carefully choreographed movements were originally
intended for war. Then, only the strongest and most
athletic of the horses were chosen. The Lipizzaner
stallion was bred for its courage, strength and
character, but the horse is also gentle, sensitive and
exceptionally responsive to praise.
8 p.m.
NOVA: Australia’s First 4 Billion Years: Strange
Creatures
After the asteroid impact 65 million years ago —
believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs — Australia
was set adrift on a lonely voyage in southern
seas. With host Richard Smith at the wheel, NOVA
travels this walkabout continent to uncover how it
became the strange island it is today. Australia’s
many unusual creatures, like the kangaroo and
the cassowary, tell a tale of isolation, change and
resilience. Australia’s long history has seen mountains
rise and fall, seas come and go, and whole
kingdoms of life triumph and disappear. In this final
episode, NOVA races down the last 65 million years
to the present day.

Secrets of the Dead: Bugging Hitler’s Soldiers
Spied upon by MI19 in a bugging operation of
unprecedented scale and cunning, 4,000 German
POWs revealed their inner thoughts about the
Third Reich and let slip military secrets that helped
the Allies win WWII. The film tells the story of how
those conversations were recorded and how they
can now reveal, in shocking detail, the hearts and
minds of the German fighter. Only now have more
than 100,000 hours of these secret recordings been
declassified, researched and cross-referenced.
The documentary includes intense, full-dialogue
dramatic reconstructions that use the verbatim
transcripts of these bugged conversations to reveal
the dark heart of the Nazi regime as never before.

Nature: Great Zebra Exodus
When thunderclouds begin to gather over Botswana’s
Kalahari each year, 20,000 zebras get
itchy feet. As the first fat raindrops hit the dust,
southern Africa’s biggest animal migration gets
underway. In a never-ending quest for grass and
water, the striped herds undertake an annual epic
trek across the vast lunar landscape of the Kalahari’s
Makgadikgadi Pans. See the story of this
spectacular annual migration through the eyes of a
single zebra family: a stallion, his three mares and
their offspring. Documenting their journey across
this otherworldly landscape, the film reveals their
trials and triumphs as well as the fascinating social
bonds that hold zebra families together.
8 p.m.
NOVA: Venom: Nature’s Killer
Venom scientists are in a race against time. Inside
the bodies of many creatures, evolution has
produced extremely toxic cocktails, all designed
for one reason: to kill. It took millions of years to
perfect these ultimate brews of proteins and peptides,
and we have only just begun to discover their
potential. Now, the race is on to collect and study
them before the animals that produce them disappear.
But how does venom do its deadly work?
NOVA reveals how venom causes the body to shut
down, arteries to bleed uncontrollably and limbs
to go black and die. But nature’s most destructive
and extreme poisons could contain the building
blocks for a new generation of advanced drugs that
could treat heart attack, stroke, diabetes, obesity
and cancer. “Venom” follows two scientists on their
expeditions to track down and capture the planet’s
most deadly creatures, risking life and limb just to
tease out milligrams of venom and get it back to
the lab. Find out how nature’s deadliest cocktails
could be medicine’s brightest new hope.

Secrets of the Dead: Death on the Railroad
A classic story involving foul play, cover ups, a
murder mystery and a voyage of discovery explains

what happened to a group of Irish men who immigrated
to America. In 1832, railroad contractor
Philip Duffy hired 57 Irish immigrants to lay railroad
tracks in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Less than
two months after their arrival, all 57 were dead.
Did they all die — as was widely believed — from
cholera? Or were some murdered? In 2003, twin
brothers who discovered a secret file among their
grandfather’s papers investigated the deaths of
these men and found the location of their final resting
place. Using the latest forensic and scientific
investigative techniques, DNA, forensic analysis,
facial reconstruction and historical detective work
in Ireland and the U.S., modern detectives and
experts unravel this extraordinary story.

Broadway or Bust: And the Winner Is…
The show at New York’s Minskoff Theatre is the

The 60 finalists prepare for the big day. In just six
hours, the lights will go up, the theater will be filled
and, with the downbeat of the orchestra leader’s
baton, it’ll be show time. Going into the final
competition awards show, all of the judges have a
short list of top contenders, but during the show
itself, they’ll be asked once again to give scores to
the leading performers based on the group performances
and individual medleys. At intermission, the
judges will cut the group to six finalists. Those six
will perform their solos, and after another round, the
judges will choose the two winners. In the words
of director Van Kaplan, “This week … is going to
shape their whole lives, whether they go into the
theater or not.”

The most shameful and best-kept secret in the U.S.

and impunity has resulted in few prosecutions
and the systematic isolation of women who dare to

Secrets of the Dead
A tomb of 49,000 year-old Neanderthal bones discovered
in El Sidron, a remote, mountainous region
of northern Spain, leads to a compelling investigation
to solve a double mystery: How did this group
of Neanderthals die? And could the fate of this
group help explain Neanderthal extinction? Scientists
examine the bones and discover signs that tell
a shocking story of how this group may have met
their deaths. Some bones bear distinct signs of
cannibalism. Was it a result of ritual or hunger? Neanderthal
experts are adamant that they were not
bloodthirsty brutes. What happened here 49,000
years ago will take viewers on a much bigger journey
— from El Sidron to the other end of the Iberian
Peninsula, where scientists are excavating beneath
the seas off Gibraltar in search of Neanderthal sites.

Ghost Army
War, deception and art come together in this astonishing
true story of American G.I.s who tricked the
enemy with rubber tanks, sound effects and carefully
crafted illusions during WWII. This remarkable
tale of a top-secret mission that was at once absurd,
deadly and amazingly effective is told through
the stories of the veterans, many of whom — like
Bill Blass and Ellsworth Kelly — would go on to
have illustrious careers in art, design and fashion.
8 p.m.
Constitution USA with Peter Sagal
The high ideals of the Declaration of Independence
that “all men are created equal” didn’t make it into
the Constitution in 1787. It took three-quarters of
a century, and a bloody civil war, before the Fourteenth
Amendment of 1868 made equality a constitutional
right and gave the federal government
the power to enforce it. The far-reaching changes
created by that amendment established new notions
of citizenship, equal protection, due process
and personal liberty. Today, those notions are being
used to fight for same-sex marriage, voting rights,
affirmative action and immigration reform.

Independent Lens: Detropia
Detroit: the grand American city, built on industry,
fair play, hard work and the American Dream. In
the past three decades, the city has seen its might
crumble as oil prices spiked, the auto industry
declined and the middle class began to disappear.
But the people of Detroit are not ready to give up
on this place, where the spirit of loyalty, community
and grit is not so easy to break. They are ready to
create a radically new Detroit in a post-industrial
America.

Constitution USA with Peter Sagal
In this last episode, Sagal travels to Iceland, where
after the country’s economic collapse, leaders
decided to create a new constitution, looking to
the U.S. Constitution for inspiration. This prompts
Sagal to consider why our own founding document
has lasted more than 225 years. He looks at the
systems that have kept the Constitution healthy —
amendments, judicial interpretation, checks and
balances — and also at the political forces that
threaten to undermine the framers’ vision: excessive
partisanship leading to gridlock, money in
politics and gerrymandering.
