Makes the great American poet relevant for today's audience. Captures the voices of poets, scholars, and average New Yorkers to understand why his poetry still matters. Generous helpings of Whitman's poetry. Vital, engaging.
This program gives perspectives on the war in Iraq not heard elsewhere. There are first-person accounts mostly of Iraqis dealing with different aspects of the war. Especially memorable is a segment about an exchange of drawings between Iraqi and American schoolchildren. This program doesn't go out of its way to present the U.S. administration's position on the war, but then again there's enough of that already happening in the mainstream media.
