Each Sunday in August we will present
a radio show and two documentaries:
This American Life (6pm)
Each week Ira Glass and company chooses a theme and then invites
people to tell stories related to that theme. He's been doing
this for years. And we're still listening. And we thought
it might be nice to listen to this together.
Each week will presented with semi-related visuals.
A
State of Mind(7 &
11pm) is the story of two North Korean schoolgirls
and their families in the lead up to the Mass Games -- the
biggest and most elaborate human performance on earth. The
visuals of their gymnastic/ball-dance performances are breathtaking,
both for their precision and lunacy. This is a rare glimpse
into the truly bizarre and thoroughly creepy state-imposed
culture of North Korea. Center
of the World(8:30pm)
is film about the history of the World Trade Center. And strangely
and appropriately it is also a film about Phillipe Petit,
the man who "walked" between the towers on a wire
in 1974.
note:
There is a $1 surcharge that will
be added to your check for each guest. at the end of the year,
we will donate this to PBS and NPR
