Others: Leaning positiveThe Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late-twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. An Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut.

A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. These and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by trees, are brought together in a last stand to save the continent's few remaining acres of virgin forest.

This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

Others: PositiveHow could a political party as fundamentally evil as the Nazis come to power? The Nazis: A Warning From History exposes the popular myths surrounding the rise and fall of the Third Reich. The series explores how the Nazis gained influence, how they ruled, how they treated their occupied territories, and, above all, how a cultured nation could be a party to such acts of inhumanity. Contemporaries recall the true extent of Hitler's power; eyewitnesses describe the horrors perpetrated on the Eastern Front; specially shot film in Lithuania reveals the development of the "Final Solution"; and ordinary Germans shed new light on the relationship between the Party and the people. Was the Nazi rise to power simply the result of the hypnotic power of Hitler's rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? This six-part series, winner of eight international awards including the Peabody Award, unveils a more chilling reality. - Container.
