My Architect

Nov 12, 2003
Considéré comme l'architecte le plus visionnaire de son temps, Louis KAHN construisit certains édifices les plus importants du 20ème siècle. Après sa mort en 1974, il apparut que KAHN avait mené quatre vies à la fois : son travail, sa famille régulière, mais aussi deux autres femmes et les enfants qu'elles lui avait donnés. Nathaniel KAHN - fils d'Harriet Pattison, une architecte paysagiste qui travaillait dans le cabinet de Louis - avait 11 ans quand son père mourut. Trente ans après, avec My Architect, il part à la recherche de son père et reconstruit, à travers les visites de ses plus grands chefs-d’œuvre, les interviews de ses illustres confrères et les témoignages émouvants de sa famille, le portrait d'un homme complexe et attachant...

Two Hands: The Leon Fleisher Story
4.5
In 1964, Leon Fleisher's career as a concert pianist was thriving. A seemingly minor accident - a cut on his right thumb - led to dystonia, the involuntary curling of his right hand's ring and little fingers. In recent interviews, Fleisher talks about what followed: the end of a marriage, despair and disappointments, surgery in 1983 that led to a brief return to the concert hall, and, finally, with Botox and Rolfing, the ability to play with two hands. In between, Fleisher discovers his ecstasies: conducting, teaching, and playing compositions for one hand commissioned in the early twentieth century for a World War I veteran.

Wilderness: The Last Stand
1
A look at the mandate and performance of the U.S. Forest Service in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Through interviews with Forest Service employees, loggers, environmentalists, scientists and politicians, we discover the ever-widening impact of current policy on the human and wildlife communities that depend upon the National Forests for survival. In 1905 the National Forest system was created to protect the remainder of the great woodland ecosystems that once covered America. Yet each year, more and more of these public forests have been sacrificed in the name of commerce. Everyone talks about finding the balance between preserving jobs and protecting the environment, but solutions are long in coming. While we debate, American taxpayers subsidize forest destruction to the tune of 300 million dollars each year.

The Dark Side of The Sun
7.2
There are times, especially during a severe thunderstorm, when the power goes out temporarily. A minor inconvenience for most people, since they know that their power will be quickly restored. Even during major events like ice storms, where the power can be disrupted for days or even weeks, the lights will eventually come back on. If the power went out and didn’t return for a year or more, it’s a good bet that panic would set in once people realized something more ominous was happening, other than a temporary power outage. It sounds like a good scenario for a doomsday movie, but this event could actually occur.
