P.O.V.: Of Civil Wrongs and Rights: The Fred Korematsu Story
Fred Korematsu was never more American than when he resisted the forced internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Korematsu lost his landmark Supreme Court case in 1944, but never his resolve. Of Civil Wrongs and Rights is the untold history of the 40-year legal fight to vindicate Korematsu.

Wide Angle: Land of Wandering Souls
Land of Wandering Souls follows a group of workers who are laying a high-tech fiber optic cable that will link Cambodia to the rest of Asia and Europe. The project is a hopeful symbol of the country's slow integration into the world community and the modern technological age. However, for the people employed to actually dig the trench by hand - a group of rice farmers, ex-soldiers, and their families, the poorest of the poor -- the work is a mixed blessing. This film provides a haunting glimpse into the lives of these indigent workers as they encounter the painful remnants of the past - mines, bones and a landscape littered with human suffering - and labor to bring Cambodia into the modern age.
