Notes

This half-hour series, Hollywood Idols has been repackaged from The Hollywood Collection, the award-winning collection of cinema retrospectives and biographies of classic movie stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. The original films have been converted to High-Definition, the content has been tightened, graphics refreshed, and the series has been re-narrated.

The story of the American people at war began in the highly acclaimed series ‘Between The Wars’, and continues in this series narrated by journalist Eric Sevareid. Shocked into action by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Americans respond with an exhilarating sense of common purpose and build the most powerful war production machine the world has ever known.

Episode #101: While the Storm Clouds Gather In this episode, America emerges from the hard times of the Depression. Radio provides nightly entertainment as well as news from the foreign war zones in Europe and Asia. Most Americans wish to stay out of the war, but they support the efforts of President Roosevelt, lend-lease, the peacetime draft, and the new defense industry.

Episode #102: Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition In this episode, the attack on Pearl Harbor sends a bolt of energy surging through the country. Within a few short months, the nation is mobilized and transformed. Fifteen million civilians become soldiers, sailors and marines. Production of civilian goods ends, and most factories convert to war work.

Episode #103: Sacrifice and Shortages This episode examines how Americans coped with food and gas rationing and shortages of cigarettes and nylons. There are victory gardens, scrap drives, the black market, and the first national income tax. Celebrities such as Jack Benny and Jimmy Durante help boost civilian morale.

Episode #104: A String of Pearls In this episode, patriotic American women answer the call to duty–in the armed forces and in the factories and shipyards. Despite condescension and prejudice, women win a permanent place in the American military, but they soon discover that the men in charge consider this major change in American life only temporary.

Episode #105: On the Shady Side of the Street In wartime America, large numbers of young people leave their homes for military service or work in war plants, sowing the seeds of a sexual revolution. This episode documents the trend away from traditional moral concerns.

Episode #106: Right in der Fuehrer’s Face In this episode, the American government enlists the skills of Hollywood, Tin Pan Alley, and Madison Avenue to grind out propaganda for domestic consumption. Hitler and his cohorts are depicted as diabolical villains, while racial attacks by the media against Japanese Americans lead to the internment of hundreds of civilians.

Episode #107: Thanks for the Memories This episode shows American show business solidly supporting the war effort. Scenes at the Hollywood Canteen and other service clubs show ordinary American enlisted men honored and revered by stars and the public. The comedy routine “Who’s on First?” reflects the big question in major league baseball as most players have gone to war.

Episode #108: Accentuating the Positive This episode depicts Hollywood stars going overseas to put on shows for troops in the war zones. Legends like Bob Hope and Marlene Dietrich stage elaborate events for servicemen. In similar fashion, Armed Forces Radio carries American swing music, news, and pop culture around the world.

Episode #109: Mood Indigo: Blacks and Whites Wartime newsreels reveal that the World War II American home front is as racially segregated as the U.S. armed forces. Although prejudice, discrimination and race riots plague the home front, black civilians continue to back the war effort, and black servicemen distinguish themselves overseas.

Episode #110: It’s Been A Long, Long Time This episode chronicles the war’s end with the dramatic explosion of two atomic bombs. The massive war industry is shut down, and millions in the armed forces are demobilized. The GI Bill, the baby boom, and a new materialism sweep millions into the mass-produced suburbs. Overseas, the seeds of the Cold War, Korea and Vietnam have been planted.

Kelly is a mother of two, whose pregnancies triggered suicidal thoughts, depression, and anxiety. She had no prior history of mental illness, and although she was presented with medication multiple times throughout, she decided to go medication-free for both of her pregnancies. Kelly’s husband Sean is featured, as both a source of support, as well as conflict within the family.  Dina is a filmmaker and professor who, given her history of anxiety, is trying to set a plan in place prior to conceiving. She has decided to wean herself off medication, but finds herself navigating conflicting advice from various doctors. The film follows her throughout her pregnancy as she reflects on her experience along the way.  Vickie is an actress who finds herself newly pregnant, without a job, health insurance, or support from the child’s father. Although she is actively seeking medication for depression, she finds that her doctors are reluctant to prescribe.  Christine is a stay-at-home mother to two girls, who took medication for her first pregnancy, but for her second, opted out which led to postpartum symptoms of depression, anxiety and OCD. Angela is also a stay at home mother who chose to stay on some of her medication throughout her pregnancy, with her doctor’s support and guidance.  

Other interviewees include doctors (Dr. Elizabeth Fitelson, Director of the Women’s Program at Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry, and Dr. Stephen Contag, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore) and family members (such as Dina and Angela’s husbands) who influence, and are affected by, these decisions.  The film focuses on the personal stories of the women, and the many facets of making such decisions. It addresses the struggle and emotional turmoil, as well as the hope and perseverance of the featured women, and advocates for their ability to make the best individual choices for themselves and their families. It also raises larger issues related to the functioning of our healthcare system, the pervasiveness of mental health stigma across the country and the importance of familial and peer support that is so crucial for a struggling mother.

Reviews:

“It’s riveting. You know how you get teary-eyed at stories about mothers with cancer postponing treatment for the sake of their unborn children? Rarely do we treat women who suffer from deadly mental illnesses with the same compassion…” -Cosmopolitan Magazine

“Moms and Meds strays from the warm and fuzzy land of baby showers and gender reveal parties to ignite real conversations about what it’s like to be pregnant while dealing with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.” -Art With Impact

“It’s crucial that both doctors and pregnant (or possibly pregnant) women get educated when it comes to the intensely personal subject of pregnancy and psych meds.” -Baltimore City Paper

The Democratic Republic of Congo is home to some of the world’s richest seams of copper, coltan and other minerals increasingly sought after by global electronics manufacturers for use in smartphones and computers. In sub-Saharan Africa however, it’s the same old story. Rather than improving life for the world’s poorest people, however, billions of dollars have been redirected to tax havens and to local militias, fueling a war that has cost 5 million lives… and counting… since 1996, an endless war that may one day rank among the worst atrocities in modern history. Can it be stopped?

Narrated by actress Robin Wright (co-star of the Netflix original series, House of Cards)

Written and Directed by Mike Ramsdell
Music by Steve Jablonsky
Executive Producer: Robin Wright

#STANDWITHCONGO
The film is the centerpiece of an activist campaign with the mission to “mobilize students and consumer activists to pressure policy makers, stakeholders, and investors for greater transparency and accountability in the mining sector of the Democratic Republic of Congo.” Join the campaign by following the hashtag #StandwithCongo on twitter and other social media sites. The campaign, led by Robin Wright, activist JD Stier of Stier Forward, and producer Mike Ramsdell, is set to officially launch in 2016, will include a tour featuring screenings at universities and public forums across the United States and Canada, as well as special events for policy makers and stakeholders in the private sector.

Matt’s childhood was fraught with obstacles. Growing up in an obscure Christian cult, he struggled with learning disabilities that made life excruciating at home and at school. Matt spent more of his early teens on the streets than in school.  Sitting in a jail cell at 17, he had an epiphany and began to turn his life around. Rutherford bought his first sailboat sight unseen on the Internet and learned to sail on the fly. Four years later, he embarked on a single-handed voyage from the USA to Europe, West Africa and back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. He had found his calling.

After reading about Ernest Shackleton and Arctic explorers, Matt became obsessed with sailing alone through the Northwest Passage – the mostly ice-clogged route through the Arctic linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. That obsession became a 27,000 mile quest to be the first sailor to circumnavigate the Americas alone without stopping.

Red Dot on the Ocean is full of surprises. It is beyond inspiring, a film that makes us all feel we can do and endure more than we imagine.

Reviews:

“Endlessly engrossing….It’s hard to get more inspirational than the real-life voyage of Matt Rutherford, a former juvenile offender with five prison stints and a couple of learning disabilities who became the first person to solo circumnavigate the Americas nonstop….Documentarian Amy Flannery gives us a feel for the constant pounding of the waves in rough water, juxtaposed with the dangerous beauty of icebergs….You can’t help but be gratified at this eminently nice guy’s amazing accomplishment. ‘We all have a gift,’ he says. ‘We all have a place in this world.’ And he’s clearly seen enough of the world to say that with some authority.” –Frank Lovece, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

“Red Dot on the Ocean portrays the story as triumph over adversity and wayward youth….we learn that he spent part of his childhood in a cult and struggled with ADHD. That condition may have led him to — and helped him thrive in–the adrenaline highs of sailing…. plays like an upbeat, real-life “All Is Lost,” as Mr. Rutherford, with relatively simple sailing equipment, contends with setbacks and the elements.” –By Ben Kenigsberg, NEW YORK TIMES

“It’s an inspiring tale, to be sure, made more so by his eventual triumph that resulted in, among other accolades, SenatorTom Harkin singing his praises before Congress….Rutherford is an engagingly charismatic, charmingly self-deprecating figure, and his amusing running commentary throughout his voyage makes a nice contrast to Robert Redford’s taciturn silence throughout the fictional, similarly-themed All is Lost. His bravery is matched by his generosity—his journey served to raise $120,000 for an organization devoted to teaching sailing to disabled people. His story certainly deserved to be told…” –Frank Scheck, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“A kid who’s spent formative years in an obscure cult, rehab, juvenile detention, and, ultimately, prison, isn’t likely to grow up to solo-navigate around the Americas in a leaky boat. ButMatt Rutherford did, without stopping, and thanks to the documentary Red Dot on the Ocean, we’re privy to his adventures.” –Daphne Howland, VILLAGE VOICE

“Director Amy Flannery balances the footage of the Rutherford’s voyage with background information about his troubled childhood …. both his childhood and his voyage are compelling….The way that he changed his life 180 degrees after being a street punk feels quite inspirational and poignant. Red Dot on the Ocean does have its fair share of thrills to boot … as Rutherford battles the forces of nature, especially in the rough waters of the North [West] Passage where one tiny error can lead to imminent death.” — Avi Offer, NYC MOVIE GURU

“In a word: inspiring….It deserves to become a classic….I found myself on the edge of my seat, my heart racing….” — Andy Schell, 59-NORTH.COM, contributing editor SAIL magazine

“This is a remarkable film, one of the best sailing documentaries ever produced…. What makes this story so engrossing, though, is that the sailing part is only half the tale…. Matt’s childhood was a nightmare, a brutal combination of drugs, cults, depression, learning disabilities and, ultimately, prison. And his difficult, winding path from troubled kid to bold adventurer and record-setting sailor is truly an inspirational tale that this terrific documentary captures well. Highly recommended…” — Herb McCormick, Senior Editor, CRUISING WORLD MAGAZINE

“Red Dot on the Ocean comes off as thrilling, touching and most of all entertaining….Rutherford himself is a fascinating character who blurs the line between every-man and remarkable individual….To see how he manages his daily life aboard his ship and against the forces of nature makes for a riveting watch.” — Enrrico Wood, Curator, OAXACA FILM FESTIVAL

“Just a really compelling adventure story. It really explored how adventure can change a person’s life.” — Roisin Finlay, Judge, WHY NOT? ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL

“A compelling and timely adventure epic. Few films will rival the scope, and none exceed the scale, of this journey. What Matt has accomplished is testament to the capacity for each of us”. — DB Palmer, Judge, WHY NOT? ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL

Faith in the Big House goes deep inside a religious revival at a maximum security prison to reveal the carefully orchestrated formulas used by evangelical ministries seeking to convert a group of convicts to Christianity.  Prison ministry leaders, including Charles Colson (of Watergate infamy) insist that revivals and twenty-four-seven bible studies radically reduce the number of inmates who are re-incarcerated, plus keep Islamic movements in check. Some secularists doubt their findings, trusting traditional rehabilitation to achieve lasting results.

Reviews

“In this edition of the acclaimed Travel with Kids series, the Roberts family visits the crystal blue waters and white sand beaches of the Bahamas—an easy 30-minute flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL. First stop is the gateway island of New Providence, where the capital city of Nassau is located. Mom, dad, and their two boys learn a bit of exciting local history during a visit to a pirate museum, explore crafts markets and duty-free shops, and go to a huge aquarium, where they meet friendly dolphins, and see a giant manta ray (the kids get to go “backstage” to see what it takes to feed the critter every day). A snorkeling adventure at Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas resort includes a brief dip in the water (with sharks nearby!). The family also enjoy quiet times on the nearly deserted shores of Cat Island, and on Grand Bahama Island, where they explore the natural environment via a kayak tour through Lucayan National Park. Split into two half-hour episodes, the program provides additional information via intermittent “pop up” facts. DVD extras include a “Trip Planner” with segments on family-friendly accommodations, travel tips and resources; a “Bahamas at Home” featurette with recipes and crafts; and a bloopers reel. Highly recommended.” Three & 1/2 Stars -Video Librarian

“The couple is likable and friendly, their kids are precocious, and the sites are breathtaking. Anyone looking for a video guide to traveling the streets of Paris with their young ones in tow can’t do better than this.” – Zach Freeman, Blogger News Network

“Travel With Kids Paris is packed with good ideas geared toward helping families prepare for a group vacation, but also useful for young travelers doing it alone. Novice travelers looking for ideas for a manageable and safe itinerary through Paris will do well to brush up with the experience of the Roberts family as a starting point.” – DVD Verdict Review

“Another winning installment in the Travel with Kids series, Travel with Kids: Caribbean Cruise is a DVD family travel guide to enjoying a Caribbean cruise…” – Midwest Book Review

“Highly recommended.”– Library Bookwatch

“Each episode has great cinematography and is packed full of places to see and things to do. The fast pace and helpful family-friendly tips make this the perfect adjunct to the traditional travel guide for parents wishing to travel with their kids. The bonus features include: additional preparatory information on Irish cooking, learning to jig, and speaking Gaelic as well as out-take bloopers.

The Travel with Kids award winning series has 20 current DVDs available as well as real-time social media sites including a blog, facebook, and twitter presence. Their website includes information about their upcoming travel locations, their partners and sponsors, additional trip planning tips, television episodes, sample trailers, and more.” Highly Recommended – Educational Media Reviews Online

“…the Roberts family takes in the charm and camaraderie of the Emerald Isle. Although thematically similar, each title in the series has a slightly different emphasis reflecting the distinctive characteristics of the locations visited. Ireland finds the Roberts’ joining local musicians at a pub (many are family-friendly establishments), where traditional Irish music is played with drum, fiddle, accordion, flute, and other instruments. While providing specific tips for traveling with children, the film showcases the scenic countryside and various tourist attractions, including the town of Killarney and its horse-drawn cart rides to Ross Castle, and Killarney National Park, with its lakes, bogs, mountains, and woodlands. And, of course, the foursome visits Blarney Castle in County Cork, built in 1446 and home of the famous Blarney Stone, where tradition requires one to climb to the tower where the landmark is located, flip over on one’s back, and kiss the stone over a small gap in the wall about 100 yards above the ground. Highly recommended.” Three and Half Stars – Video Librarian

“Just the ticket for parents considering Ireland as a family vacation destination. Entertaining—and empowering!” – Booklist

“I have to admit that I am a huge fan of the Travel With Kids series. I watched the Travel With Kids – New York DVD and thought it was really well done.

Well, Travel With Kids – Ireland is an even better DVD!

I can understand what the film makers are trying to do, which is to demystify the age old problem of how to have a fun vacation when you have a couple of small children in tow.Unfortunately by the title alone they will miss a huge segment of people who would really enjoy this series. You don’t have to be traveling with two toddlers to really get a great deal out of this series.

The videography is stunning. You get a real feel for the places that the intrepid Roberts family visit. Many travelogue type DVD’s contain wonderful ideas of places to visit, most though are far outside of the realms of reality for all but the fittest ex Green Beret! Travel With Kids takes a different approach, there are so many wonderful sights, sounds, and experiences that can be found without the assistance of Sherpa Tensing.

Ireland is a country that has certainly seen its fair share of conflict, and its history is rich and bountiful.

Travel With Kids – Ireland, in fact the entire series, contains really good and really practical advice. It is not a guide on how to survive on $10 a day, nor is it a guide to the most exotic (read expensive) ways that a tourist can lighten their wallets. It is much more about value, a family of four can have the trip of a lifetime without breaking the bank.

This episode features Dublin, Killarney, and Dingle. It also explores the countryside around these cities and delves into some of Ireland’s rich history. From music to food, from staying in a real castle, to visiting the Guinness brewery, you have it all!

I think one of the great values in the Travel With Kids series is that prior to a vacation you can get an idea of some things to do while you are there. Many people say, oh I never plan a vacation, I just see where it leads me. That is a sure fire way to miss out on something that may just make the difference between a vacation and something that is remembered for years to come.

I give full marks to Travel With Kids – Ireland, and even if you are not planning a trip soon, watch it and vacation vicariously.” – Simon Barrett, Blogger News Network

“Their latest piece covers a trip to Paris where the couple visits numerous landmarks and various places around the city, all while providing helpful commentary filled with historical information and tips for parents who may find themselves preparing for a similar trip. The best part about this series, though, is that its’ more than just a simple, “Here’s what we did” short home movie.

Each hour-long episode features a selected city somewhere in the world and extensive information for preparing for the trip and making the most of it while there. Little things like designing flash cards with famous art pieces on them to keep the kids engaged at the Louvre and a brief breakdown of the lines at the Eiffel Tower help prepare other parents planning to make the trip themselves for the trip.

The couple is likeable and friendly, their kids are precocious, and the sites are breathtaking. Anyone looking for a video guide to travelling the streets of Paris with their young ones in tow can’t do better than this.” – Bloggernews.net

“Mixing in bite-size history lessons along the way, Travel with Kids: England finds the Roberts’ visiting several kid-friendly attractions, including ancient castles, Stonehenge, the Roman baths in Bath (the algae rules out any tub time there), aquariums, the Beatrix Potter museum, and more. Travel with Kids: London switches gears from the rural countryside to the hustle and bustle of one of the world’s major metropolises, with attractions including Big Ben, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, the Tate Museum, and the London Eye. …these two titles are highly recommended.” Three and a Half Stars – Video Librarian

The  most important event in the evangelization of the New World occurred in December, 1531. Over the course of four days, the Virgin Mary, under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, appeared to an indigenous convert named Juan Diego. As a result of this encounter, and the image miraculously imprinted on Juan Diego’s tilma (cloak), nine million Native Americans embraced the Catholic faith, and the Americas began its transformation into “the Catholic hemisphere.” Our Lady of Guadalupe’s message of love had replaced the institutionalized violence of the Aztec culture and built a bridge between two worlds.

Guadalupe: The Miracle and the Message traces the history of this transformative event from the 16th century to the present. Featuring interviews with leading theologians, historians and experts on the scientific inquiries into the miraculous image — this gripping film explores both the inexplicable mysteries behind the image, and the continued relevance of the Guadalupe apparition to the modern world.

The image itself has long been puzzling to the scientific community, since it has been shown to exist without having been painted, has survived despite extreme age, adverse conditions and a bombing. The image also exhibits features reminiscent of photographs, such as reflections in the image’s eyes, even though it appeared hundreds of years before the invention of photography.

Guadalupe: The Miracle and the Message brings this remarkable history to life through modern reenactments, 3D animations which allow viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the intricacies of the centuries-old wonder and interviews with leading theologians, historians and scientists.

Guadalupe: El Milagro Y El Mensaje

Narrado Por Plácido Domingo

El evento más importante de la evangelización del Nuevo Mundo sucedió en diciembre de 1531. En el transcurso de cuatro días, la Virgen María, bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, se le apareció a un indígena convertido llamado Juan Diego. El resultado de este encuentro, y de la imagen milagrosamente impresa en la tilma de Juan Diego, fue que 9 millones de indígenas de América adoptaron la fe católica, y el Continente Americano empezó a transformarse en el “hemisferio católico.”

El mensaje de amor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe sustituyo la violencia institucionalizada de la cultura azteca y construyo un puente entre dos mundos.Guadalupe: el Milagro y el Mensaje relata la historia de este evento transformador desde el siglo XVI hasta el presente. Con entrevistas con importantes teólogos, historiadores y expertos en el análisis científico de la imagen milagrosa, este conmovedor documental explora con el mismo entusiasmo los inexplicables misterios que se encuentran tras la imagen, y la actual importancia de la aparición de Guadalupe para el mundo moderno.

“The message of Our Lady of Guadalupe helped to build bridges between cultures and worlds and began the transformation of our continent into a Christian continent of hope,. The apparition helped to unite the entire continent in a way that didn’t exist before. Through her intercession, then and now, those throughout this hemisphere have found a deep and shared sense of faith, hope and identity. 

Some see Our Lady of Guadalupe as a Mexican or as a Latin American, Hispanic phenomenon. However, this understanding is incomplete. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of all of America and of the Philippines as well. She is loved and embraced across cultural lines throughout this continent and beyond.”  – Carl Anderson, CEO of the Knights of Columbus and Executive Producer of the film

Doug Gardner brings a passion and excitement to the screen that not only entertains but informs viewers. He has been tripping the shutter for over twenty seven years and now shares his new and creative techniques with the world. While other photographers are shooting from the comforts of their vehicle or a boardwalk, Doug is sloshing through the mud and muck of South America or braving the elements of sub-zero temperatures in the tundra to get just the right shot. His unique style of an “eye-level” perspective has required him to spend as long as two weeks in the top of a cypress tree and has sent him swimming with alligators. His work has taken him to the depths of the Amazon to photograph animals never before documented.

Season 1

101:  The premiere episode of City Walk shines a spotlight on the most exotic and exciting walks in America, and travels to cities across the country that are currently transforming themselves into more walkable communities. With stops in Pasadena, Washington D.C., and New York City, the episode offers a personalized look at the changing landscape for pedestrians. We also discover how walking rehabilitation helped teenager Daniela recover from a sudden stroke, and how technology that once promised an easy future may now be harmful to your health. On the lighter side, the episode questions non-walkers on their excuses for sitting around, has fun encouraging people to get up and move with a viral video, and features short vignettes that celebrate the beauty of stepping outside.

102: City Walk journeys from Los Angeles to Boston. We take a closer look at something many of us take for granted — our own two feet. The series will take a look at the city wide cycling/walking extravaganza known as Ciclavia in Los Angeles, the pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and public transportation system of San Francisco, and Boston’s string of urban parks known as the Emerald Necklace, as well as the newly completed Greenway in the heart of the city.

103: City Walk ventures back in time and across the continent as the walking revolution spreads from New York City parks to Portland’s walkability to the rugged canyons and trails of Orange County. Featuring Maryland’s Iverson Mall Walkers, an uncommon group of people who will line dance their way into your heart.

104: This episode of City Walk begins by exploring hidden staircases all over Los Angeles in an event called the Big Parade, and then boldly strides across America from Austin to Atlanta as communities everywhere embrace the walking revolution.

105: City Walk explores the hidden shorelines of Manhattan and travels high into the Rocky Mountains with stops in Denver, Portland and Washington DC as communities across America rediscover their sidewalks and trails.

106: City Walk treks from Berkeley to Atlanta on a walking school bus before treading the urban and mountain trails of Orange County, California with an unforgettable stop at “The Happiest Place on Earth.” And Nic Offer of cult band ‘!!!’ offers his unique perspective on public transportation at the FYF Festival in Los Angeles State Historic Park.

108: In the last episode of its first season, City Walk blasts across America from the skies above Camarillo to a racetrack in Fontana and straight to Washington, DC, where the 2013 Walking Summit is paving the path for a more walkable future for everyone. Have you ever wanted to stroll around a NASCAR speedway but were afraid of becoming road kill? Join a group of intrepid fans as they take a walk on the wild side and experience a rush you can only get on your own two feet.  Most people think that once a road is paved it’s the end of the story, but in some neighborhoods things are changing. Join us on a special walking tour where we experience first hand the many innovations taking place on our streets and sidewalks to make them more pedestrian friendly.  We take you center stage and behind the scenes of the very first Walking Summit where we’ll meet the leaders, planners, and developers who are dedicated to bringing our country literally back on its feet.  Some people walk on sidewalks, others prefer trails but one man gets his thrill walking two miles high in the sky and freefalling to the ground at 120 miles per hour… feet first.

Reviews

“City Walk is excellent. Borne of a wacky West Wing reunion PSA (with Martin Sheen & Company) and created in collaboration between the show’s producers and the Funny or Die website, something really cool emerged.  You’ve seen travel shows. You’ve seen health shows. You’ve seen history shows. City Walk is all that, put through a hip filter of urban renewal and rediscovery. Impressive!” -Huffington Post

“In this month’s One-on-One blog, ExpertFlyer talks with Thomas Rigler, an award-winning filmmaker, transmedia producer and former TV development executive. Thomas’s diverse body of work at Rigler Creative includes creating and executive producing the KCET-TV / LinkTV series City Walk, a unique series that reveals the way walking is transforming cities across America and, in the process, re-connecting us to our bodies, our civic values and public space.” – ExpertFlyer.com
