REALISM: The Artistic Form of the Truth
It is a creative impulse as old as humanity itself: to depict life faithfully, accurately, in words or images. This program shows
how that impulse led to Realism - a widespread artistic movement, born in the latter half of the 19th century, which
rejected pretense, distortion, and sentimentality. Incorporating interviews with art historians and literary scholars, the
program explores the sociopolitical origins of the phenomenon in the 1848 Revolution in France and the concurrent wave of
industrialization that swept Europe and America. Luminous images by Édouard Manet, Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet,
and Honoré Daumier - along with the unflinching writings of Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Émile Zola, Leo Tolstoy,
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, August Strindberg, and Heinrik Ibsen - are analyzed and compared with the work of
Thomas Eakins, George Bellows, Mark Twain, Jack London, Stephen Crane, and others. The contributions of early
photographers and filmmakers, as well as the first stirrings of feminism, are also examined.

THE LOST TEMPLE OF JAVA
Borobudur in Central Java is unique. In the shape of a pyramid, with four square terraces leading to three circular ones, this
extraordinary building is covered with three miles of stone carvings. Situated on a lush palm-covered volcanic plain, this is a
building that deserves the title of 'eighth wonder of the world'. Remarkably, this massive construction lay deserted and
obscured by jungle for over 1000 years, only to be to be re-discovered in 1814 by the maverick Englishman Sir Thomas
Stamford Raffles. Following the complete renovation of its 1.6 million blocks of volcanic stone, this program answers the
many questions surrounding these enigmatic ruins and reveals its untold tale.
