  Dome Car Magic: A History of Railroad Dome Cars
  Dome Car Magic chronicles the history of those glamorous railroad sightseeing cars, from Burlington's 1945 Silver Dome to full-length domes operating in Canada and Alaska today. At their peak in the 1950s, dome cars could be found on many of North America's most famous long-distance passenger trains. Archival film footage shows many of these, including the Empire Builder, Super Chief, North Coast Limited, Daylight, Capitol Limited, Denver Zephyr, City of Los Angeles, Canadian - and perhaps the most famous of all, the California Zephyr. Interviews with seasoned travelers and spectacular images of present-day dome cars on a variety of dinner and cruise trains round out the show. Hosted by Michael Gross.

At the other, collector Jim McCarty invites viewers to join the hunt for stolen works from his private collection of California plein air paintings.

  Story of India[#101H]
  Beginnings
  Michael Wood's fascinating journey through the history of the Indian subcontinent chronicles the incredible richness and diversity of its peoples, cultures and landscapes; outlines the originality and continuing relevance of its ideas; and relates some of the most momentous and moving events in world history. Beginning with the first human migrations out of Africa, using DNA and climate science, ancient manuscripts and oral tales, Wood takes viewers from the tropical backwaters of South India to lost ancient cities in Pakistan - the scene of India's first civilization. He travels on to Turkmenistan in Central Asia, where dramatic new archaeological discoveries cast fresh light on India's deep past. Finally, Wood travels to the vibrant cities of the Ganges plain, where India's ancient myths and histories still intertwine.

  Story of India[#102H]
  The Power of Ideas
  Michael Wood's epic series moves into the revolutionary years after 500 BC - the Age of the Buddha. Traveling by road and rail between the ancient cities of the Ganges plain, he tells the tale of the young prince who gave up the good life and became the Buddha: "India's first and greatest protester." Then, moving by army convoy through Northern Iraq and down the Khyber Pass into Pakistan, Wood shows how Alexander the Great's invasion changed the course of India's history and inspired her first empire. He visits India's earliest capital, Patna, and using archaeology, legend and "India's Rosetta stone," explains how the ideas of the Buddha were turned into political reality by the great Indian emperor Ashoka - "one of the most remarkable figures in history" - who sowed the seeds of "history's most dangerous idea."

  Guadalupe
  At first, you can't believe it's real. It must be a movie set of a small, picturesque, agricultural town at the turn of the century. Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles just a few miles off the 101 freeway, the little (and real) town of Guadalupe sits right in the middle of one of the richest agricultural areas of our state. Huell gets up early and visits the fields, talks with the workers and watches as the harvest celery and lettuce. He also discusses the rich cultural heritage of the area as he talks with descendants of Filipino families who have been living and working in the Santa Maria Valley for generations. Also included: a tour of the authentic and colorful town itself, and a visit to the nearby spectacular Guadalupe Dunes.

  The Old Man and the Storm
  Six months after Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans, producer June Cross came across 82-year-old Herbert Gettridge working alone on his home in the lower Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated when the levees broke in August 2005. Over the next two years, Cross would document the story of the extended Gettridge clan -- an African-American family with deep roots in New Orleans -- as they struggled to rebuild their homes and their lives. Their efforts would be deeply impacted by larger decisions about urban planning, public health and the insurance industry, by the decisions of policymakers about federal funding for rebuilding the Gulf, and state and city plans for dispersing those monies. The moving personal story of Mr. Gettridge and his family reveals the human cost of this tragedy, the continued inadequacies of government's response in the aftermath of Katrina and how race, class, and politics have affected the attempts to rebuild this American city.
