“American Voices 2024” begins in 2020, following ordinary Americans with different viewpoints as they dealt with COVID-19 in their communities that spring, responded to George Floyd’s murder that summer, and then participated in the election and its aftermath that fall. Then, the documentary revisits those same Americans from a mix of urban, rural and suburban areas as they reflect on the past four tumultuous years, navigate health and economic challenges, and share their perspectives on politics today.
Filmed everywhere from Texas to California; from Virginia to Minnesota; and from Iowa to Oregon, “American Voices 2024” is a journey across geography, race and politics that sheds light on where our country has been — and where it is headed.
“American Voices 2024” is a FRONTLINE production with Five O’Clock Films in association with DEC8 Productions and Mike Shum Productions. The producers are Qinling Li and Arthur Nazaryan. The writers are Qinling Li and Mike Shum. The director is Mike Shum. The senior producers are Callie T. Wiser and Frank Koughan. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

,1,The 2009 FRONTLINE documentary “Black Money” examined bribery allegations against international companies and explored how prosecutors around the world cracked down on the practice. (Aired 2009)

As pressure for profits increased on corporations during the global financial downturn of the late 2000s, the U.S. Department of Justice pursued an aggressive crackdown on an international business tactic: bribery. The 2009 documentary “Black Money” examined this shadowy side of international business. The film shed light on how some multinational companies routinely made secret payments — often referred to as “black money” — to win billions in business, and explored the crackdown being waged by prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice and allies abroad against companies including the British-based multinational defense company BAE Systems.

The attacks on 9/11 altered America in many ways, from barricades and body frisks in airports to greater government scrutiny of people’s records and electronic surveillance of their communications. The watershed, officials told FRONTLINE in the 2007 documentary “Spying on the Home Front,” was the government’s shift to a strategy of pre-emption at home — not just prosecuting terrorists for breaking the law, but trying to find and stop them before they struck.
The documentary probed the ramifications of that strategy, explored how the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program worked at the time, and examined various viewpoints on whether the Bush administration violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and infringed on constitutional protections.

,1,FRONTLINE investigates the roots of the federal criminal case against former President Donald Trump stemming from his 2020 election loss.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
In March, 2024 Republican presidential nomination front-runner Trump is scheduled to begin standing trial on federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., in connection with efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. He says the charges against him are politically motivated.
“Democracy on Trial” traces the road to this unprecedented moment, and examines the implications of the historic criminal case unfolding in the midst of a presidential election year. Drawing on court documents and revelatory interviews with elected officials, former government lawyers, House Select Committee witnesses and former committee staffers, authors and journalists, the documentary reports that the work of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack provided the groundwork for special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump and may offer insights into how the trial unfolds.
The documentary chronicles how the committee built its case against Trump and tried to prove his intent, how it chose to present its case to the American public, and criticisms of its work. Key witnesses who testified before the committee and whose firsthand accounts are now evidence in the federal case speak out in the documentary — including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling and former Arizona Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers.
Gripping and illuminating, “Democracy on Trial,” the newest film from FRONTLINE’s award-winning political team, Michael Kirk, Mike Wiser and Vanessa Fica, also examines how Trump has challenged the case. Trump has pleaded not guilty and made the legal argument, now being reviewed by an appellate court, that he has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for his actions while in office.
“Democracy on Trial” is a FRONTLINE production with the Kirk Documentary Group. The director is Michael Kirk. The producers are Michael Kirk, Mike Wiser and Vanessa Fica. The writers are Michael Kirk and Mike Wiser. The reporters are Vanessa Fica and Brooke Nelson Alexander. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

,1,In this 2009 follow-up to the groundbreaking documentary “The New Asylums,” FRONTLINE examined what happens to people who are living with mental illness when they leave prison. (Aired 2009)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
In 2005’s “The New Asylums,” FRONTLINE filmmakers Karen O’Connor and Miri Navasky went deep inside the Ohio prison system as it struggled to provide care to thousands of inmates with mental illness.
In 2009’s “The Released,” they returned to Ohio to tell the next chapter in this story. That year, more than 700,000 people were expected to be released from prison across the U.S., more than half of them dealing with mental illness. Typically, these people would leave prison with a bus ticket, $75 in cash, and two weeks' worth of medication to treat their illness. Studies from the time showed that nearly two-thirds of people with mental illness released from prison — often poor and out of touch with friends and family — were rearrested within 18 months. “The Released” offered an intimate look at the lives of people with serious mental illnesses who were released from prison but struggled to remain free.

When “The New Asylums” was originally released, 16 percent of America’s prison population could be classified as having a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder, according to National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. The numbers were much higher when taking into consideration other types of mental illnesses and disorders.
As sheriffs and prison wardens became the unexpected and ill-equipped gatekeepers of this burgeoning population, they raised a troubling issue: were jails and prisons turning into America’s new mental hospitals?
With unprecedented access to prison therapy sessions, mental health treatment meetings, crisis wards, and prison disciplinary tribunals, FRONTLINE went inside Ohio’s state prison system to present a searing exploration of the complex topic of mental health behind bars and a moving portrait of the individuals at the center of this issue.

,1,FRONTLINE presented gripping, first-hand accounts of women who escaped the brutal reign of ISIS — and followed an underground network that helped them escape. (Aired 2015)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
In August 2014, ISIS massacred hundreds of men who were part of the Yazidi religious minority and took an estimated 3,000 Yazidi women and children captive. “Escaping ISIS” delivered a stunning look at the plight of those women and children, and the efforts of people trying to help them escape.
As the documentary reported, before ISIS overran his town in Northern Iraq, Khalil al-Dakhi was a lawyer. When ISIS seized territory in Iraq and Syria and declared a caliphate, al-Dakhi formed an underground railroad to help rescue those women and children held by ISIS.
Aeida, a 21-year-old Yazidi woman who was abducted by ISIS along with her two young children, talked about being held in a home that ISIS had turned into a prison for captured women. “Some nights I can’t sleep until the early morning hours because of the nightmares,” she said.
The documentary followed al-Dakhi and his team as they undertook the dangerous work of getting women like Aeida out of ISIS’ territory. It also followed the efforts of a cell smuggling secretly-shot footage of ISIS’ treatment of women out of ISIS-held territory.

In “Battle for Iraq,” Ghaith Abdul-Ahad made a dangerous trip inside Mosul to examine the fight against ISIS and its toll. He spoke with civilians caught in the turmoil, members of Iraq’s elite special operations forces, known as the Golden Division, and captured ISIS fighters. During his reporting, he survived a suicide bombing and ISIS sniper and grenade attacks.
He found a complicated situation on the ground, including deep-seated mistrust of the Iraqi Army by the civilian population, who were suffering heavy casualties: “As we start driving in, you realize you’re not driving through a liberated neighborhood… you’re driving through a battle zone,” Abdul-Ahad said, adding that “this is a battle happening between two enemies on a land inhabited by civilians.”
“Battle for Iraq” was a FRONTLINE production with Mongoose Pictures in association with The Guardian. The reporter and correspondent was The Guardian’s Ghaith Abdul-Ahad.

,1,FRONTLINE and The Washington Post investigate how a young Air National Guardsman, Jack Teixeira, allegedly leaked classified documents on the Discord chat platform for over a year — and why he wasn’t stopped earlier.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
It was one of the biggest leaks of government secrets in U.S. history: more than 300 pages that included highly classified information from secret Pentagon assessments of the war in Ukraine, to revelations about Iran’s nuclear program, Chinese aircraft carriers and the killing of ISIS terrorists.
The leaked documents, which came to light in April 2023, were posted on the gaming and chat platform Discord, allegedly by 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, who had managed to get a security clearance despite a troubled past. What was his motivation? Why didn’t the military stop him? And what was the role of Discord, a privacy-oriented platform popular with teenage gamers?
FRONTLINE and The Washington Post investigate those questions in “The Discord Leaks.” From an award-winning team that includes FRONTLINE directors Thomas Jennings and Annie Wong and Post reporters Shane Harris, Samuel Oakford and Chris Dehghanpoor, the documentary draws on months of groundbreaking reporting by The Post, including access to hundreds of the leaked documents its reporters obtained. The documentary includes new collaborative reporting with FRONTLINE revealing in greater detail Texeira’s online world, and his history of violent threats, racism and conspiracy theories. The documentary also features exclusive on-camera interviews with the alleged leaker’s close online confidantes, Discord’s VP of trust and safety and a former head of the Air National Guard.
The FRONTLINE-Washington Post investigation raises tough questions about how the military’s vetting process addresses applicants’ internet activity, how Discord polices hate speech on its platform, and why the alleged leaker — who has pleaded not guilty — wasn’t stopped sooner despite multiple red flags.
To illustrate the extent of the leaked material, FRONTLINE and The Washington Post used images of classified documents in this film that had been previously released in news reports, on social media and elsewhere on the internet.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
When Edward Snowden exposed the U.S. National Security Agency’s secret mass surveillance programs, defenders of the NSA said the spying was necessary, and they produced an example: David Coleman Headley, an American recruited by Pakistani terrorists to help plan the 2008 Mumbai attack known as “India’s 9/11.” But was Headley’s capture an intelligence success? ProPublica reporter Sebastian Rotella investigated those claims, unearthing evidence of how intelligence agencies didn’t stop the 2008 attack in which 166 people were killed. “American Terrorist” is an updated and expanded version of 2011’s “A Perfect Terrorist.”
“American Terrorist” was a FRONTLINE production with Left/Right Docs in association with 2over10 Media in partnership with ProPublica. It was written, produced and directed by Thomas Jennings. The correspondent was Sebastian Rotella. The co-producers were Anna Belle Peevey and Sabrina Shankman. The reporters were Sebastian Rotella, Jeff Larson, Thomas Jennings, and Anna Belle Peevey.

“Ebola Outbreak” offered a remarkable look at the early months of the worst Ebola outbreak on record, one in which local hospitals in Sierra Leone were overwhelmed and barely functioning because so many doctors and nurses had died.
The documentary — a collaboration with the Channel 4 foreign affairs series Unreported World — went inside an emergency field hospital run by Doctors Without Borders, where the morgue was overflowing, and those who were sick kept arriving. FRONTLINE also followed an investigator from Sierra Leone’s Ebola surveillance unit who, despite the risks, traveled to villages looking for people who were infected, trying to identify and isolate everyone they might have come into contact with.
“Ebola Outbreak” was a Quicksilver Media production for WGBH/FRONTLINE in collaboration with Channel 4’s Unreported World series. The director and producer was Wael Dabbous. The reporter was Shaunagh Connaire. The senior producer was Dan Edge. The executive producer for Quicksilver was Eamonn Matthews. The deputy executive producer of FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath.

,1,Victims call him the Butcher of Bosnia. Defenders say he protected the Serbs. FRONTLINE chronicles the trial of Ratko Mladić and tells an epic story of justice, accountability and a country at odds over its bloody past. (Aired 2019)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
In the aftermath of the brutal wars that decimated Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, former Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladić was accused of genocide and other war crimes — including the massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys in the town of Srebrenica in July 1995.
In “The Trial of Ratko Mladić,” FRONTLINE producers gained exclusive access to the prosecution and defense teams during Mladić’s trial before the UN’s International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
The documentary also features interviews with Mladić’s supporters and family members in Bosnia and offers harrowing accounts from some of his victims.
“The Trial of Ratko Mladić” provides haunting insights into a convicted war criminal’s motives, and the genocide he commanded his troops to carry out — as well as an intimate look at the victims left behind, who remain haunted by what their families endured.

,1,Amid a Republican leadership shakeup in the House & questions about the future of Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the Senate, FRONTLINE investigates the life & legacy of one of the most powerful Republican leaders in Senate history.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
“McConnell, the GOP & the Court” shows the path to power of an unlikely political leader who has dramatically reshaped the Supreme Court — and whose consequential decisions helped usher in an era of deep polarization in both the U.S. and the Republican party.
“McConnell, the GOP & the Court” tells the dramatic, decades-long story of McConnell’s rise to power, and the costs of attaining and keeping it. That story is told through a powerful video archive and incisive interviews that delve into McConnell’s defining early struggle against childhood polio, his political method, and the roots of his quest for power. Through interviews with close advisors and associates, critics, biographers and journalists, the film goes on to trace McConnell’s political journey from his days as a supporter of the civil rights movement through his shift rightward in the Reagan era, to his reluctant embrace of Donald Trump and then his anger at the president on January 6th, 2021, to questions about how long he will continue to lead Senate Republicans.
As McConnell faces political and physical challenges to his long hold on power, “McConnell, the GOP & the Court” offers an illuminating look at the long-serving leader and how his shrewd choices have reshaped the Supreme Court and U.S. politics.

,1,Through his actions in 2016, “Mitch McConnell brought about the election of someone who, in almost every particular, he deplored,” conservative columnist George Will says in this excerpt from the new FRONTLINE documentary "McConnell, the GOP & the Court."
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
Among those actions: Blocking any Senate consideration of then-President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee after Justice Antonin Scalia died months before the 2016 presidential election -- and later placing his support behind Trump, framing Scalia's Supreme Court seat as a central issue, as this excerpt explores.
“There was a lot of skepticism on the right of what Donald Trump was, and holding that Supreme Court seat open just as a political matter reminded Republicans, we can’t leave to chance that Hillary Clinton might put a liberal on the court,” Scott Jennings, a McConnell political adviser, says in the excerpt.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
The Shia militias were a crucial part of Iraq’s fight against ISIS and were supposed to answer to the country’s prime minister. But “Iraq Uncovered” investigated how some of the groups were accused of kidnapping, torturing and even killing Sunni civilian men and boys, whom the militias often saw as ISIS suspects.
Navai traveled to areas of the country where few journalists went, talking to Sunnis who said their relatives were abducted and abused at the hands of the militias. She found a makeshift militia prison crammed with men the militia admitted had been held there for months without any charges. Navai found that people in refugee camps were “as scared of the militias as they are of ISIS,” and she spoke to leading Sunni and Shia politicians as well as militia members themselves.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
"Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road From Oslo" includes interviews with key figures from both sides of the negotiating table including Benjamin Netanyahu, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Saeb Erekat and Ehud Barak.
The documentary traced how the cautious optimism in the aftermath of Arafat and then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signing the 1993 Oslo Accord was undermined in the following years by violence and major setbacks. It explored the growing threat to the peace process posed by radical nationalist factions among both Jews and Palestinians — groups, including Hamas, that opposed all compromise between the two peoples. The documentary also examined the U.S. role in the peace process, including the U.S.-brokered negotiations at Wye River in 1998, Camp David in 2000, and in Taba, Egypt, in 2001.
Watch a special presentation of “Shattered Dreams of Peace” Tues., Nov. 7, 2023, at 10/9c on PBS stations.

,1,An investigation of allegations that the New Orleans Police Department inappropriately used lethal force against New Orleans citizens in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and then tried to cover up their actions. (Aired 2011)

Henry Glover was last seen alive in the backseat of a white Chevy Malibu on Sept. 2, 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina hit. His charred remains would later be discovered on the banks of the Mississippi River, inside a car that had apparently been set on fire. FRONTLINE, in partnership with ProPublica and The Times-Picayune, dug into Glover’s death and a number of incidents in which police shot civilians in New Orleans in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The investigation revealed that, in the midst of post-Katrina chaos, law-enforcement commanders issued orders to ignore long-established rules governing use of deadly force.

In this FRONTLINE Short Doc, watch as Jordan Huff shares her firsthand account of fleeing the flames – “We were all about to burn alive,” she says – and learn how scientists say climate change is making wildfires more frequent and intense.

,1,The inside story of the Houston Astros cheating scandal, the fallout and what it says about baseball today.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
This 90-minute FRONTLINE documentary investigates one of the most explosive scandals in modern baseball: a sign-stealing scheme that would taint the Houston Astros’ 2017 World Series win — the club’s first-ever — and reverberate across the sports world.
Gripping and revealing, the documentary features new and exclusive interviews with former MLB insiders — including a former Astros video manager who speaks out for the first time about the inner workings of the now-infamous sign-stealing scheme, and the most expansive on-camera interview yet with former Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, who continues to deny awareness of the cheating.
“The Astros Edge” is narrated by producer and reporter Ben Reiter, who has covered the team extensively for Sports Illustrated, in the book “Astroball,” and in the podcast, “The Edge: Houston Astros.” In the documentary, Reiter goes inside the Astros’ journey from the worst team in baseball to the most dominant club of the era, chronicling how their innovative and hypercompetitive approach — data-driven and drawn from Wall Street and Silicon Valley — took shape and changed the game. Then, Reiter probes that approach’s shadow side, piecing together how a “win-at-all-costs” culture inside the Astros helped lead to the cheating scheme.
The documentary also examines MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s own investigation into the scandal, which offered immunity to Astros players and resulted in few consequences for those who primarily carried out the cheating.

In “Mosul,” FRONTLINE presented an extraordinary look at the brutal battle to drive ISIS out of Iraq’s second-largest city, which some military commanders described at the time as the deadliest urban combat since World War II.
The people of Mosul had endured the repressive rule of ISIS for more than two years. This is the story of the men who fought back — and defeated the self-proclaimed Islamic State in their stronghold. Filmed on the ground by director Olivier Sarbil over the course of the nine-month battle, “Mosul” offers a stunning look at the high cost of the Iraqi Army’s liberation of Mosul from ISIS in July 2017.

In “Obama at War,” Martin Smith and Linda Hirsch investigated the Obama administration’s complicated struggle to deal with the deadly Syrian conflict and explored how the rise of ISIS raised the stakes. Drawing on interviews with key American military and diplomatic leaders as well as members of the Syrian opposition, this 2015 documentary offered an incisive look at President Obama’s choices involving Syria and the consequences.
Tracing Obama’s Syria policy from the Arab Spring in 2011 onward, “Obama at War” examined the heated debates within the Obama administration about when, if and how to get involved in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The documentary revealed an administration struggling to identify reliable partners on the ground, mindful of the American public’s war-weariness, and divided over whether to provide military aid to moderate rebels. The documentary also explored how a spiraling humanitarian catastrophe under Assad allowed ISIS to flourish.

,1,FRONTLINE tells the story of journalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov and his battle to defend press freedom in Putin’s Russia.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin and his government have carried out an intense crackdown on the press — banning more than 300 Russian journalists, labeling them “foreign agents,” and threatening anyone who calls the Ukraine conflict an invasion or act of war with up to 15 years in prison.
The Russian government branded Muratov, one of a dwindling number of independent journalists still in Russia, a “foreign agent” in early September 2023. With unique access, this timely documentary follows Muratov as he fights to keep his independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, alive and his reporters safe amid the government’s tightening grip on independent reporting.
“Putin vs. the Press” is an Oxford Films Production for GBH/FRONTLINE and Channel 4. The director is Patrick Forbes. The producers are Yelena Durden-Smith and Vanessa Tuson. The senior producer is Dan Edge. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

Through the lens of Jones’ case, the documentary explores how statutes like Florida’s so-called “two-strikes” law, more formally called the Prison Releasee Reoffender law, can result in people getting mandatory maximum sentences, including life in prison, for crimes in which no one is injured. While Florida’s statute is among the strictest, many states have laws that increase prison time for repeat offenses.

,1,A sequel to the award-winning 2016 documentary “Exodus,” this film tells the intimate stories of refugees and migrants fleeing poverty and violence and facing heightened nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment. (Aired 2018)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
As far-right nationalism was on the rise, this two-hour documentary offered an unforgettable window into the human stories of refugees and migrants caught in Europe’s tightened borders.
“When we were back home, we’d talk about how peaceful and wonderful it would be in Europe, and that we’d live happily ever after,” said a young man named Azizzulah, who fled Afghanistan after his brother, who worked as a translator for the U.S. Army, was killed in a bombing. “But had I known that the way would be so difficult, I would have never come.”
As the wave of global migration and refugees continued and countries became less welcoming, “Exodus: The Journey Continues” provided an eye-opening look at the evolving situation, drawing on footage filmed by the refugees themselves. The documentary also followed several people featured in the 2016 “Exodus” documentary — including Sadiq, a young man from Afghanistan who was seeking asylum in Finland, and Isra’a, a young girl who fled Syria with her family and was let into Germany before Europe’s borders began to tighten.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
When the documentary “Living Old” was released, people over 85 were the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. While medical advances enabled an unprecedented number of Americans to live longer and healthier lives, the documentary examined how this new longevity also had unintended consequences.
For millions of Americans, living longer also came to mean serious chronic illness and a protracted physical decline that could require an immense amount of care, often for years and sometimes even decades. Yet as the need for care started rising, the number of available caregivers dwindled. With families more dispersed and an overburdened healthcare system, many experts feared the country was on the threshold of a major crisis in care.
“Living Old” was a FRONTLINE co-production with Mead Street Films. The documentary was written, produced and directed by Miri Navasky and Karen O’Connor. The executive producer of FRONTLINE was David Fanning.

In the 2011 documentary “Flying Cheaper,” FRONTLINE examined the outsourcing of major airline repair work to U.S.-based contractors who kept costs low by using unlicensed mechanics and to foreign-based maintenance operations, from China to El Salvador. FRONTLINE correspondent Miles O’Brien investigated reports of undertrained mechanics, foreign workers who couldn’t read English language repair manuals, inadequate FAA oversight and the use of unauthorized airline parts.
“Flying Cheaper” was a co-production with the Investigative Reporting Workshop that was produced by Rick Young and Catherine Rentz. Miles O’Brien was the correspondent. Rick Young was the writer. Leslie Atkins was the editor. Raney Aronson-Rath was series senior producer. David Fanning was executive producer.

,1,FRONTLINE and NPR followed the trail of one of the final detainees released by the Obama administration from the prison at Guantanamo Bay. (Aired 2017)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
When President Barack Obama first took office, he signed an executive order to close the controversial military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — where the U.S. has held terror suspects for years without charges. Though he didn’t succeed in closing Gitmo, a symbol of the post-9/11 “war on terror,” Obama made a final push to clear out the camp before President Donald Trump took over.
The documentary “Out of Gitmo” examines the challenges and complexities of releasing men who were once deemed “indefinite detainees” — those never charged with a crime but considered too great a risk to let go.
“Out of Gitmo” was a collaboration with NPR and WGBH News. The writer and producer was James Jacoby. The correspondent was NPR/WGBH News reporter Arun Rath. The senior producer was Frank Koughan. The senior investigations editor for NPR was Robert Little. “Out of Gitmo” was a production with Left/Right Docs. The executive producers for Left/Right Docs were Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver. The executive producer for FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
Prigozhin and his forces ultimately stood down, but the mutiny raised new questions about the strength of Putin’s grip on power amid discontent around his troubled war on Ukraine.
Veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team examine the story of Putin’s rise, his clashes at home and abroad, how his troubled Ukraine war led to this moment of uncertainty and what it could portend for the country, the region and the world.

,1,With a trove of gripping footage filmed by protestors, this documentary goes inside the uprising that rocked Iran after the death of a young woman in police custody — and sheds new light on a regime under unprecedented pressure.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate.
Last fall, anti-government protests swept across Iran after the death in police custody of a young woman, Mahsa Zhina Amini, who was accused of not adhering to the Islamic regime’s strict dress code. In the crackdown on protests that followed, human rights groups estimate that more than 500 Iranians have been killed, including 72 children.
In a country where journalists are tightly controlled, young Iranians have been filming the uprising themselves and posting the videos online. For more than six months, FRONTLINE has been gathering and reviewing over 100 hours of this footage, cross-checking it with testimony from eyewitnesses and protestors, and following activists and exiles who have been gathering evidence of human rights violations.
The resulting documentary, “Inside the Iranian Uprising,” premieres on streaming platforms June 29 and on PBS stations August 8. It features the harrowing stories of protestors, some of whom are still in the country and are speaking out despite the risks, and it sheds new light on the lengths to which the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone to put down the uprising.
“The people are now like a volcano,” one interviewee says. “I am a volcano.”
