A RIPPLE OF HOPE captures an extraordinary and uplifting event against the backdrop of one of the most volatile and memorable Presidential campaigns in U.S. history. On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy - a contender for the Democratic nomination for President - was en route to Indianapolis to make a campaign stop in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. In Memphis, Tenn. that same night, gunman James Earl Ray shot and mortally wounded the leader of the civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Upon hearing the tragic news, Kennedy made a crucial decision: risking his own life and defying city officials, he ventured into the inner city and addressed the grief-stricken crowd gathered in a park. He stood atop a shaky, flat-bed truck and delivered one of the great political speeches of the 20th century: a moving, extemporaneous plea for peace and reconciliation. By keeping his promise to speak, Kennedy helped Indianapolis avert the violence that swept the rest of the country. Within weeks of this speech, on June 6, 1968, Kennedy also would fall victim to an assassin's bullet. A RIPPLE OF HOPE tells the dramatic story of that historic night through archival film, photos and dramatic reenactments, and by drawing on interviews with Kennedy aides and associates, including Kennedy press secretary Frank Mankiewicz,

An Answer from Akron tells a unique story about a group of young African American men who, at the height of the Civil Rights movement, were in the right place to answer a call for help. The place is Akron, Ohio whose history includes Sojourner Truth's delivering her historic "Ain't I a Woman" speech and John Brown's headquarters for many of his anti-slavery campaigns. Building upon these and other such historical milestones, members of the local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha became the first black organization to receive Federal funding for affordable housing. These men provided homes for their friends and families who had been displaced by an aggressive urban renewal program. This achievement is historic not only because it was the first of its kind, but because it also represents a successful case study in affordable housing still in operation today more than fifty years later.
From the virtual slavery of sharecropping to the segregated battlefields of World War II, through the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras to today, Isaac Pope stood at the front of the line and did his part to improve conditions for everyone. Now he is the subject of award-winning filmmaker Paula J. Caplan's new documentary, Isaac Pope: The Spirit of an American Century, in which history comes vibrantly alive. Caplan's first film, the intense and beautiful "Is Anybody Listening," was focused on the chasms between veterans and non-veterans and simple ways to bridge them. It garnered many prestigious awards and was picked up by public television, where it reached many stations nationally. A typical veteran's response: "THIS is what I want my loved ones - and the nation - to know!" For her follow-up film, Caplan chose Isaac Pope, a spellbinding storyteller, as her subject. Born to sharecroppers in 1917, Pope was an eyewitness to the devastation wrought by both the segregationists in his home of North Carolina and by the Nazis. Through the power of faith and family, he fought and overcame the 20th century's stiffest challenges. He championed American freedom on the battlefields of Europe and worked tirelessly against institutionalized racism and workers' oppression at home. With his 100th birthday on the horizon, Caplan asked Mr. Pope's permission to document his story. He agreed, and the resulting film -produced by an award-winning LA/NYC/DC team --offers a compelling view of major events of the past ten decades, as seen through the eyes of Mr. Pope, an unassuming man whose inner fortitude and quiet accomplishments represent the Spirit of an American Century. It is also a portrait of some warm, enduring interracial friendships forged during World War II that present a model for today, and uncovers contemporary connections among its subjects that are astonishing and inspiring.

When Last of the Summer Wine finally ceased production, it had up 32 series, numerous Christmas specials and a 1988 prequel, First of the Summer Wine, with the whole canon being written by just one man: Roy Clarke.
