How did five female Army support soldiers—mechanics, supply clerks, and engineers—end up fighting alongside the Marines in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq War? Get an intimate look at war through the eyes of the first women in U.S. history sent into direct ground combat, despite a policy that bans them from doing so. 90 minutes
Rumrunners, Moonshiners, and Bootleggers
Sunday, April 18, 1:30 p.m.
Revisit the rough-and-tumble days of Prohibition with a candid look at its legacy. Filled with extraordinary tales, rarely seen footage, and a host of captivating photos, this documentary is an unforgettable portrait of one of the most compelling eras in our history. Presented in collaboration with the History Channel. 100 minutes
Dirt! The Movie
Sunday, May 2, 1:30 p.m.
It’s under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book, Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, find out how industrial farming, mining, and urban development have led us toward cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods, and climate change. Dirt is a part of everything we eat, drink and breathe, which is why we should stop treating it like, well, dirt. 60 minutes
