After World War II, humanity declared that genocide would never be allowed to happen again. But "never again" has become "again and again," from Cambodia to Bosnia, Rwanda, China, Ukraine, and sadly more. What makes people dehumanize one another? Why does it keep happening? And what can we do to make "never again" a reality? THE BROKEN PROMISE explores the mechanics of genocide, the conditions that allow it to occur, and the ideas and institutions that stand against it. The film presents the raw, unflinching first-person stories told by the survivors of genocide, and examines how the trauma of genocide ripples through generations. With insights from forward-thinking policymakers, scholars, and activists, the documentary investigates the interplay of racism, authoritarianism and impunity at the core of genocide. The hour also looks at the characteristics of leaders who perpetrate their self-serving goals, the warning signs of societies in crisis, and the global community's role in responding to human rights abuses and crimes against humanity. The challenge is clear - genocide is not a once-in-a-generation event; it's a tool authoritarians wield all too easily. While THE BROKEN PROMISE includes honest stories of human cruelty and suffering, it also features anecdotes of the human spirit and inspiring moments of hope.

The power and poignancy of 19th-century slave spirituals evoke feelings of raw power, deep empathy, pathos and poetry. When modern musical virtuosos blend modern Latin, jazz and African rhythms with these ancient hymns, the spirituals soar even higher, truly elevating emotions and inspiring audiences. CROOKED STICK: SONGS IN A STRANGE LAND is a one-hour concert special, recorded before a live audience, featuring celebrated vocalist Marietta Simpson. Collaborating with Simpson to craft modern arrangements is Dr. Tyron Cooper, an Emmy Award-winning composer and ethnomusicologist. The program title references an old African-American maxim that celebrates those who could "hit a straight lick with a crooked stick" - or overcome remarkable difficulties to do remarkable things. In this case, the maxim refers to enslaved peoples in the United States during the 19th century who created a shared language of music to find hope and strength in difficult times. Currently, those same songs are still sparking "remarkable things" by motivating today's top musicians to blend modern rhythms with these old narratives in ways that uplift audiences and ignite the spirit.
