Education Matters aims to provide the public with real facts about the state of public education in North Carolina. The weekly television show explores everything from the history of public education to the impact of legislation and policy decisions on our public schools. Education Matters is hosted by Keith Poston, President & Executive Director of the Public School Forum of North Carolina. "With this show we want to get away from a traditional he said/she said format, having two pundits on either side of an issue highlighting opposing extremes," said Poston. "Education Matters will be an opportunity for viewers to hear directly from subject-matter experts and real front-line educators as they navigate everything from funding challenges, teacher recruitment, and the impact of poverty on student learning, to testing, academic standards, and the major racial and ethnic shifts in the student population." "One of our primary goals is to help the public understand how education policy plays out in our schools, and what kind of impact these policies are having on our students and teachers," said Poston. "Education Matters will provide a window into the classroom that is often lacking from typical media coverage or political debates."
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

The greatest clock tower in the world has undergone the most extraordinary and extensive renovation in history. Presiding over the House of Commons, Big Ben is not only the most iconic landmark on London's skyline but a timeless piece of architecture that symbolizes England's democratic heritage. Renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012, this location world-renowned selfie spot with very few people allowed to see inside the world's most famous clock tower, apart from VIPs like Michelle Obama, Prince William and Bill Gates. BIG BEN RESTORED: THE GRAND UNVEILING grants the viewer rare access to document the restoration work that took place on the iconic clock tower. The project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the social and cultural history that the world's most famous clock tower represents, while charting the extraordinary craftsmanship of the people painstakingly bringing this grand monument back to life for future generations. Anna Keay, Director of Landmark Trust, goes behind-the-scenes with Parliament's principal architect and the three clock-makers who had the challenging task of taking the gigantic mechanism apart for the first time in nearly 160 years. The program also examines the history of the clock tower and reveals how it was almost never built in the first place! Using innovative filming techniques, the film delves into the rich history of Elizabeth Tower and reveals how a dedicated team of architects, engineers, clock makers, stonemasons, scaffolders and other craftspersons bring an iconic Victorian structure expertly and imaginatively into the 21st century. Follow the footsteps of all those involved: parliamentarian clock workers that ensured the clock was dismantled and assembled back correctly; the construction workers who took extra care to preserve and restore components; and the scientists and metal workers who discovered the true color of the clock dials and cast replacements for items that were damaged beyond repair. The vibrant new details are showcased, including a refurbished belfry with recalibrated bells - looking and sounding like new. To mark the completion of the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower (named for the late Queen Elizabeth II), the final part of the series shows the progress done over six years starting from 19 December 2016 when the first works began, to the point where the main part of the works were completed, and then to when Big Ben started chiming again.

Land of Gold explores the making of John Adams and Peter Sellars' San Francisco Opera premiere of their latest collaboration, Girls of the Golden West, dramatizing the turbulent history of the California Gold Rush. With the new opera's title referencing Giacomo Puccini's 1910 romantic favorite The Girl of the Golden West, Adams and Sellars' work tells a harsher and more accurate story through the letters of writer Louise Clappe, who lived in a miners' settlement for a year and a half. Land of Gold takes viewers into parallel universes 170 years apart with the historical characters of 1851 on a cultural collision course, and then behind the scenes at San Francisco Opera with the cast and creatives excavating that same history within today's cultural turmoil. Amid the backstage hubbub, composer Adams, singers Julia Bullock, Paul Appleby, J'Nai Bridges, and director Sellars wrestle their bittersweet opera onto the stage. Marking filmmaker Jon Else's third documentary with Adams, Land of Gold lays bare the flamboyant but brutal roots of modern America.
