Live Free or Die.

Aired as a POV special in 2000. Part of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival.

Fatherhood USA. A mini-series that created portraits of fathers from very different walks of life: a teen dad struggling to break a cycle of fatherlessness; a factory worker discovering that he, too, can be involved with raising his daughters; and a CFO juggling the demands of a high-powered executive wife and two small children. Hosted by former Senator Bill Bradley, the program aired nationally in 1998.

The Abortion Pill. A one-hour special that followed the long and controversial journey of the abortion pill (RU486) to the U.S. market.

Aired nationally, 1997.
