A Year of Success
V
egas PBS had a wonderful 2014 highlighted by breathtaking
national programming, increased local productions,
impactful educational services, and rising viewer and corporate support. Your letters, emails and calls repeatedly
state that you value Vegas PBS as a trusted programming
source that is uniquely different from commercial broadcasting, treating
audiences as citizens and not simply consumers. As recent ratings results
illustrate, that approach continues to create valued programming that
Nevadans want to watch.
For the 2013-14 television season, PBS had the 5th largest primetime
household rating among all broadcast and cable networks, up from 8th
the prior year and 11th two years ago. While most over the air broadcast
networks are losing audience, PBS is growing audience with significantly larger viewership than commercial cable channels like HBO, Discovery,
Disney, CNN, FOX, HGTV or A&E. Locally, Vegas PBS maintained its status as the second most-watched PBS station in the U.S., based on our
percentage of whole-day local audience.
Programming highlights include Ken Burns’ The Roosevelts: An
Intimate History, which reached more than 33.3 million national viewers
across the seven nights of the series. An average of 13.2 million viewers
tuned in to Season 4 of Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey, reinforcing its
status as PBS’ highest-rated drama in history. Viewers also enjoyed new
history and science programs about JFK from American Experience, NOVA
and Secrets of the Dead.
Our sesquicentennial programs last month including Makers: Women
in Nevada History, Restoration Neon and The Story of Classic Las Vegas
reached more than 100,000 viewers. Local series and specials like
Election 2014, Inside Education, Nevada Week in Review and Surviving Sin
City covered meaningful issues, while digital productions like Backyard
Sessions and Stories of Service presented local musicians and heroic veterans.
Our multi-platform vision of public service television reflects how
video content is “consumed” in our increasingly mobile world. In addition
to our TV services every month, Americans watch more than 415 million
PBS videos across web, mobile and connected device platforms. In
September, streaming on PBSKIDS.org reached 281 million downloads
nationally with more than 1.6 million in Southern Nevada! This educational impact is improving the literacy and STEM preparedness of our
local kids.
None of these accomplishments would be possible without the continued financial support of our members. As we embark on the last on-air
fundraising drive of the calendar year, we are pleased to bring you new
episodes of some of your favorite series: Downton Abbey Rediscovered,
Antiques Roadshow, American Masters, Nature, NOVA and PBS arts programs. We hope you’ll enjoy these programs and choose to make a donation to support your favorites, as well as the programs you enjoy on Vegas
PBS all year long. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

acred journeys are as old as religion, yet as new as anyone who
takes a step and asks, “What do I
believe?” Today, the concept of
religion is often challenged, yet pilgrimages are more popular than ever. Join host
Bruce Feiler on an unprecedented journey
to the world’s most meaningful sites and
follow him on rigorous religious pilgrimages. These are all undertaken in one
remarkable year.
Viewers will travel around the globe
and walk with Feiler and contemporary
sojourners as they take six journeys to
sacred sites cherished by billions. Each
episode follows a modern-day pilgrim on a
private spiritual journey. The six-part
series spans several continents and
explores humankind’s history to more
closely examine this particular kind of
human quest.
Today’s seekers take many of the same
routes, visit the same sites, and enact
many of the same rituals that people have
carried out for hundreds of years. Last
year, 200 million people around the world
set out to visit a shrine, a temple or other
holy site. These are people from all walks
of life. They are looking for meaning, trying to gain deeper understanding of exis-

journeys and what they experience along
the way.

made it the most contentious place on
earth. In spite of its long and turbulent history, it remains a city of faith
for all who worship the “One God”
who is the God of Moses and Jesus.

Tuesday, December 16 at 8 p.m.
Host Bruce Feiler embeds with a group
of active duty and retired U.S. military,
wounded in Afghanistan, Iraq and other
American wars, as they travel to southwest
France in search of spiritual and emotional healing beyond the treatment they’ve
already received for their wounds and disabilities. Every year, more than five million
pilgrims from around the world visit this
shrine to the Virgin Mary to drink and
bathe in the waters of a spring that
Catholics believe has miraculous powers.
The site was uncovered by a young peasant
girl when she had a vision of the Virgin
Mary in 1858.
Kumbh Mela
Shikoku
The Island of Shikoku in Japan is the
birthplace of the most revered figure in
Japanese Buddhism, the monk and
teacher Kobo Daishi, who brought a populist form of Buddhism to Japan from
China in the 9th century. For hundreds of
years, a 750-mile pilgrimage route has circled this mountainous island, connecting
88 separate temples and shrines that
claim connection to Kobo Daishi, the
Great Master. Temple priests introduce

Millions of pilgrims gather in the
valleys outside the city of Mecca in
Saudi Arabia to take part in the annual five-day pilgrimage every Muslim
hopes to complete at least once. A
group of Boston pilgrims follow
Muhammad’s path, beginning their
Hajj by circling the Ka’aba, the
ancient shrine at the center of
Mecca’s Great Mosque. Stripping
themselves of worldly possessions for
the duration of the Hajj, the pilgrims
enact the rituals laid out by Muhammad.
Along the way, they experience exhaustion, injury and elation as they seek forgiveness and inner peace.

thousands of years, revealing how the
presence of Kobo Daishi is believed to
accompany all who follow in his footsteps.
Jerusalem
Sukkot, or the Feast of the Tabernacles,
is one of three great festivals in the Jewish
calendar when, in ancient times, Jews
from across Israel were commanded to
come to the Temple in Jerusalem on pil-
In spite of its long and turbulent history, it
remains a city of faith for all who worship the
‘One God’ who is the God of Moses and Jesus.”
Every twelve years, tens of millions of
men, women and children gather for the
largest gathering of humanity for religious
purposes on the planet. This great Hindu
festival draws pilgrims from around the
world to bathe in the water where two
sacred rivers meet in Allahabad, India. For
more than 2500 years, at least 100 million
people will take a “holy dip” at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers in a
ritual that Hindus believe washes away
sins and breaks the endless cycle of reincarnation.
Osun-Osogbo
Host Bruce Feiler travels to Nigeria
with a group of African-American pilgrims
who are attending an annual festival in
honor of the Yoruba Goddess Osun as a way
to reconnect with their cultural and spiritual roots. This indigenous African faith,
sometimes called Orisa Devotion, was first
carried to the Americas during the transAtlantic slave trade. It evolved and spread
to become one of the ten largest religions
in the world with upwards of 100 million
practitioners. In the U.S., after being
forced underground during slavery, it is
now growing in popularity.

Dr. Seuss and The Cat in the Hat or Marc Brown and Arthur.
To further leverage the appeal of these children’s programs to promote family literacy,

DCI Banks
Wednesday’s Child
A single mother reports that her 11year-old son, Kyle, has been abducted by
bogus social workers. The mother's story
falls apart and Detective Chief Inspector
(DCI) Alan Banks and the team uncover
some unsavory truths about the missing
boy. A dead child is confirmed as having
died from a heroin overdose, suggesting a
connection with the ongoing missing person investigation. Detective Inspector
(DI) Helen Morton suspects that Kyle’s
mother might have arranged his abduction.
A Piece of My Heart
An investigative journalist is found dead
in a chalet in a small village. Banks establishes a connection to a death in the 1980s
and members of a cult rock band. He is
unsettled by a personal connection
between Annie and a suspect in the latest
case. Annie discovers that the victim’s
father was the senior investigation officer
Stephen
Tompkinson
and Caroline Catz
on the historic murder case and that vital
paperwork is missing. As the team investigates, it seems certain that one murder
provided the motive for the other.
Bad Boy
DI Morton is the subject of an internal
investigation when a routine operation to
recover a firearm goes badly wrong. DCI
Banks leads the hunt for the gun's owner,
and discovers to his horror that his own
daughter, Tracy, has been associating with
him. A compromised investigation into the
accidental shooting leads to DI Morton's
suspension from duty. DCI Banks is forced
to risk his own career in a desparate
attempt to save his daughter's life.

Wallander, Series 3
An Event in Autumn

A pregnant woman leaps to her death
from the side of a ferry. Or was she pushed?
The routine case barely disturbs Wallander’s
newly blissful life with Vanja, his lover
from the end of Series 2. Then the happy
couple discovers a decade-old corpse of a
murdered woman on their property. With
Wallander’s work now getting too close to
home, he follows the leads of two investigations that get increasingly entangled.
The Dogs of Riga
at 11:30 p.m.
A raft adrift in Swedish waters has grisly cargo – two horribly tortured Latvian
corpses. Arriving to investigate from Riga,
Latvia’s capital, is an enigmatic police
major. He reports back to headquarters
and then disappears. After hearing reports
of his death, Wallander goes to Riga and
meets the major’s wife, Baiba. Together,
they get embroiled in a desperate search
for files that may document high-level corruption that threatens to make Wallander
and Baiba the next victims.
Before the Frost
at 11:30 p.m.
An escapee from a psychiatric hospital
sets fire to a flock of geese and then incinerates a passing hiker. He’s far from finished though. While investigating,
Wallander is unexpectedly visited by Anna,
an old friend of his estranged daughter,
Linda. Then Anna disappears. As the arson
attacks mount, it appears that Anna may
be connected. Duty demands that
Wallander reconcile with Linda and join
forces to find Anna at all costs. However,
the father/daughter concord is hardly
helped by Linda’s memory that her dad
once had an affair with Anna’s mother.

How To
Ultimate Restorations
Saturdays, December 20 - January 3
at 10 a.m. Vegas PBS Channel 10
A
ntiques Roadshow meets This
Old House in this new eight-
part series featuring the marvels of engineering from
America’s grand history of ambition and
innovation. From the 1880s through World
War II, the United States advanced the science of aeronautics, propulsion, navigation and sound with inventions that were
both functional and artistic: locomotives,
fighter planes, yachts and the world’s
largest pipe organ. Sadly, few of these
icons from our past remain. Now, eight
national heirlooms are rescued from the
junkyard and painstakingly restored to
their original glory, offering poignant
glimpses of days gone by.
Follow the dramatic restorations from
coast to coast: the world’s largest pipe
organ in Atlantic City; a surviving 1920s
fire engine from Kansas City; a Wisconsin
“fish car” designed to transport live fish by
train; a priceless carrousel; a World War II
spy plane; one of the first U.S. yachts to
round Cape Horn; and a famous steam
locomotive.
The sheer scale of these restorations is
daunting, especially when combined with
budgets, deadlines and dangerous equipment. There are no blueprints, only clues
from history, science and the memories of
mechanics and veterans.
This series will take the place of repeat
episodes of This Old House and Ask This Old
House, which will return to the schedule
in February.

On Meditation
at Noon on
Vegas PBS Channel 10
With the hectic pace and demands of
modern life, many people feel unhappy,
impatient and frustrated. Meditation has
been practiced for thousands of years and
is commonly used for relaxation and stress
reduction. During meditation, you focus
your attention and eliminate the stream of
jumbled thoughts that may be crowding
your mind and giving rise to stress. This
process may result in enhanced physical
and emotional well-being.
This special presents emotionally compelling and understandable content about
how meditation can be accessible and useful to people in their everyday lives.
Comprised of individual portrait films as
well as guided meditations, the program
features how-to segments with actor
Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), yoga
instructor Elena Brower, and renowned
Buddhist monk Venerable Metteyya
Sakyaputta. The program also includes an
interview with the late author Peter
Matthiessen (The Snow Leopard), who
shares his experience with the practice.

This process may
result in enhanced
physical and emotional
well-being.”

Performance, taped in June 2014, featuring an all-Balanchine program. The workshop performances demonstrate the continuing tradition of excellence fostered at
this prestigious ballet academy and showcase the talented dancers of the future.
Included in the program is Balanchine’s
Serenade and excerpts from Coppélia,
Swan Lake and Western Symphony.
Christmas with the
Mormon Tabernacle
Choir Featuring
Deborah Voigt & John
Rhys-Davies
Leading dramatic soprano Deborah
Voigt and acclaimed British actor and voice
artist John Rhys-Davies join the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple
Square in a concert of holiday favorites.
Among the highlights of the concert are
Voigt’s performances of the English carol
“The Holly and the Ivy” and the light-hearted “The Twelve Days After Christmas” with
the choir and orchestra. Another highlight
is Rhys-Davies’ dramatization of “A
Dickens Christmas” with Robin Dick and
the Christmas Players. The vignette features Rhys-Davies as the Ghost of Christmas
Present soaring overhead in a dazzling
scene of aerial choreography. Rhys-Davies
also reads “The Christmas Story” from the

Marvin Hamlisch:
What He Did for Love
The composer, conductor, genius and
mensch who was Marvin Hamlisch (June 2,
1944 - Aug. 6, 2012) earned four Grammys,
four Emmys, three Oscars, three Golden
Globes, a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize
before his untimely death. He composed
hit after juggernaut – “The Way We Were,”
“Nobody Does It Better” and scores for The
Sting, Sophie’s Choice and the Broadway
hit A Chorus Line. With exclusive access to
Hamlisch’s archival treasure trove and
cooperation from his family, the film creates a deeply personal, insider portrait of
one of the greatest artists of our time. By
age 31, he achieved unprecedented success and honors with a string of smash hits.
Hamlisch eventually fell into a selfdescribed “period of suffocating despair,”
before rebounding to find true love worthy
of a Broadway musical.

time.” The songs “Scenes From an Italian
Restaurant,” “The Entertainer,” “Piano
Man,” “Big Shot,” “New York State of
Mind,” “You May Be Right,” “It’s Still Rock
and Roll to Me,” “Allentown,” “Uptown
Girl” and “The Downeaster and ‘Alexa’" are
among many other classics in a considerable catalog of songs that have served as
personal and cultural touchstones for millions of people.
The Gershwin Prize honors a living
musical artist’s lifetime achievement in
promoting song as a vehicle of cultural
understanding, entertaining and informing
audiences, and inspiring new generations.
Previous recipients are Paul Simon, Stevie

NOVA: First Man on the Moon
Everyone knows Neil Armstrong was the
first human to set foot on the moon. Since
this modest, unassuming man was determined to stay out of the spotlight, the rare
combination of talent, luck and experience
that led to his successful command of
Apollo 11 is not widely known. Now, for the
first time, this special presents an intimate
portrait of Armstrong through interviews
with his family and friends, many of whom
had never spoken publicly about him.
Nature: Moment of
Impact: Jungle
When animals of astounding ability connect with each other and the world around
them there is a “moment of impact.” The
world is filled with these unique moments
created by animals whose abilities and
behaviors are incredible to behold, like the
violent collision of cheetah with gazelle,
the blink-of-an-eye strike of a deadly snake
and the amazing dexterity of an elephant’s
trunk as it feeds, fights or reaches out with
affection. The latest technologies takes us
inside the animal to present an innovative
and revolutionary look at the bioengineering of “how animals work.”

During World War II, Hitler’s scientists
developed terrifying new weapons of mass
destruction. Alarmed by rumors about
advanced rockets and missiles, Allied
intelligence recruited a team of brilliant
minds from British universities and
Hollywood studios to a country house near
London. Here, they secretly pored over millions of air photos shot at great risk over
German territory. The photos led to devastating Allied bombing raids that were crucial setbacks to the German rocket program. With 3D graphics that recreate
exactly what the photo spies saw, the film
tells the suspenseful, previously untold
story of air photo intelligence that played a
vital role in defeating Hitler.
Nazi Mega Weapons:
U-Boat Case
To create a haven in port for their lethal
U-boat submarines, the Nazis built massive, impenetrable concrete submarine
pens. Structures too immense to be hidden, they were constructed to withstand
WWII pilot Jimmy Taylor with the spitfire
world, and reach across Asia for two thousand miles. Their great beauty may appear
cold and forbidding, but the Himalayas are
actually rich with a surprising array of
plants and animals. Snow leopards, red
pandas, Asiatic black bears, musk deer,
snub-nosed monkeys, Tibetan foxes and
high-flying birds live here, as well as enormous goat-like creatures that may have
been the source of the original Golden
Fleece for which Jason and the Argonauts

This is the story behind Born Free, a
book and later a film that forever changed
the way we think about wildlife. An
orphaned lion cub named Elsa was raised
by conservationists Joy and George
Adamson, and then released into the wild.
The Adamson’s diaries, home movies and
detailed records reveal an intimate look
into their pioneering work and unique relationship with lions and leave us with a new
appreciation for the world of animals we
never knew until Elsa opened our eyes.

Carved from a hundred million pounds
of stone, soaring effortlessly atop a spider
web of masonry, Gothic cathedrals are marvels of human achievement and artistry.
How did medieval builders create such
incredible structures? These architectural
marvels were crafted from just hand tools
and stone, but they consumed the labor of
entire towns and sometimes took a hundred
years to build. Tragically, many now teeter
on the brink of catastrophic collapse. To
save them, an international team of engineers, architects, art historians and computer scientists search the naves, bays and
bell towers for clues on how the dream of
these heavenly temples on earth came true.
NOVA: Great Cathedral
Mystery
The dome that crowns Florence’s great
cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore – the
Duomo – is a masterpiece of Renaissance
ingenuity and an enduring source of mystery. Still the largest masonry dome on
earth after more than six centuries, it is
taller than the Statue of Liberty and
weighs as much as an average cruise ship.
Historians and engineers have long debated how its architect, Filippo Brunelleschi,
kept the dome perfectly aligned and symmetrical as the sides rose and converged
toward the center, 40 stories above the
cathedral floor. At this terrifying height,
his laborers toiled without safety nets,
applying novel, untried methods on a truly
monumental scale. More than four million
bricks could collapse at any moment and
we still do not understand how
Brunelleschi prevented it. To test the latest theories, a team of U.S. bricklayers will
help build an experimental “mini-Duomo”
using period techniques.

touching story of one man’s efforts to bring

One day, in a simple gesture
of goodwill, Halvorsen gave
two sticks of Wrigley’s Doublemint gum to
a few German children watching the
planes. He then returned with additional
candy rations, solicited from other pilots,
wrapped in handkerchief parachutes and
dropped them from the plane into the
hands of the children below. When stories
began appearing on TV and radio, donations of candy poured in. All told, 20 tons of
Gail “Hal” Halvorsen
treats were dropped in handkerchief
parachutes.
A 60-year old man summed up the true
meaning of the gift he had received as a 10year-old. “What was important was not the
candy bar, but that somebody in America
knew I was in trouble and somebody cared.
I can live on thin rations,” he said. “But not

B
ing Crosby was one of the most
popular and influential multimedia stars of the first half of
the 20th century. For more
than three decades, through radio, film,
television and records, he reigned
supreme. Thirty-seven years after his
death, Crosby remains the most recorded
performer in history with nearly 400 hit
singles, an achievement no one – not
Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley or the Beatles
– has come close to matching. This new
documentary explores the life and legend
of the iconic performer, revealing a man
far more complex than his public persona.
With unprecedented access to the enter-
tainer’s personal and professional
archives, this special includes neverbefore-seen home movies, Dictabelt
recordings, photos and more.
The film features new interviews with
all surviving members of Crosby’s immediate family – wife Kathryn, daughter Mary
and sons Harry and Nathaniel. Crosby’s
struggles with his first wife, Dixie Lee, and
their sons Gary, Dennis, Phillip and
Lindsay are revealed. Mary addresses
accusations of abuse first published in
Gary’s 1983 memoir, which tarnished their
father’s legacy. Gary speaks candidly about
both his and his mother’s alcoholism as
well as his difficulties with his father in a
1987 interview which had not been broadcasted until now. Other new interviews
include singers Tony Bennett and Michael
Feinstein, record producer Ken Barnes,
biographer Gary Giddins, and writers Buz
Kohan and Larry Grossman. Kohan and
Grossman share the story behind Crosby’s
Christmas special duet with David Bowie.

The Underground Railroad was a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves
escape to the northern U.S. and to Canada.
It effectively moved hundreds of slaves
northward each year. According to one
estimate, the South lost 100,000 slaves
between 1810 and 1850. In this special, an
incredible story of strength and determination is told through the eyes of the
slaves and the people who risked their
lives to save them. From free black communities to middle-class white society,
groups of freedom fighters defied race and
gender in one of the greatest survival stories of all time. Follow the Underground
Railroad through a little-known passage to
freedom in the northernmost corner of
Pennsylvania. Character voices, reenactments, documents and diaries create a
vivid account of Pennsylvania in the years
leading up to the Civil War.

Enjoy an encore viewing of the entire
Season 6 of this quirky series. “Doc”
Martin Ellingham is a prominent London
surgeon until he develops a paralyzing fear
of blood and settles as a general practitioner in a remote Cornish fishing village.
The Doc is as boorish as the hamlet of
Portwenn is placid. Season 6 brings a fresh
array of dreadful misunderstandings, unintended affronts and regrettable conflicts
as the gruff Doc makes his rounds. It also
heralds the arrival of Doc’s even more
tactless mother, played by the inimitable
Claire Bloom. As the season opens,
Portwenn is buzzing with arrangements
for the wedding of Doc Martin and Louisa.
Will they finally tie the knot or will the villagers have to put the confetti back in the
box again?
Admiral Rickover on
the USS Nautilus
sive country clubs with the promise of
steady, guaranteed returns on their invest-
ments. He then set his sights on Europe and Latin
America, brokering deals with powerful hedge
fund managers and feeder funds from Buenos
Aires to Geneva. Billions of dollars were channeled to Madoff’s investment firm and his “feeders” became fabulously wealthy. There were allegations that Madoff was “front-running” or operating a Ponzi scheme which the Securities and
Exchange Commission investigated several times
over two decades. Madoff remained untouched
until December 11, 2008, when he finally admitted it was all “one big lie.” This film unravels the
story behind the world’s first truly global Ponzi
scheme. This deception that lasted longer,
reached wider and cut deeper than any other
business scandal in history.

Rickover: The Birth of Nuclear Power
Tuesday, December 9 at 8 p.m. on Vegas PBS Channel 10
Combative, provocative and blunt, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover was a flamboyant maverick, a
unique American hero. When few thought it possible, then-Captain Rickover harnessed the
power of the atom to drive the first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus. Its trip
under the polar ice pack was one of the great adventure stories of the 1950s. Later, he oversaw
the development of the world's first commercial nuclear power plant. Rickover's achievements
made him into a national celebrity. Many questioned Rickover’s goal of an all-nuclear navy and
others questioned his creation of a technocratic elite – his own navy within the Navy. However,
few contested that he had transformed the Navy and changed the course of America's technological development. Today, questions about nuclear power have once more arisen. Also, many
wonder whether America can maintain its technological pre-eminence due to global competition.

re the risks associated with extreme weather events threatening our national security? Can climate change contribute to the fall of political regimes and the
strengthening of terrorist groups? Join host/narrator Matt Damon to investigate
the links among extreme weather, climate change and threats to our national
security. Featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Friedman, World Bank president Jim
Yong Kim, former CIA director James Woolsey and environmental visionary Lester Brown, the
documentary focuses on recent political conflicts and severe weather events in Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Russia, India, the Middle East, the United States and the Arctic. The program explores
how extreme weather is already affecting the geopolitical landscape and points to innovations that
can help us adapt to the increased probability of heat waves, hurricanes, floods and droughts.
As seen and heard by more than 80,000
people in the Latter Day Saints
Conference Center in Salt Lake City, this
program features renowned former TV
newsman Tom Brokaw and Tony Awardwinning Les Misérables tenor Alfie Boe in
a concert of holiday favorites. Boe’s moving signature performance of “Bring Him
Home” is a highlight. As a surprise guest,
the choir welcomes Gail “Hal” Halvorsen,
the American “Candy Bomber” who
dropped gum and chocolate for German
children during the Berlin airlift of 194849. At age 92 at the time of the concert, he
appears in his original 1948 flight suit.
Selections include "I'll Be Home for
Christmas," Christmas From Heaven,”
“What Shall We Give?” and “Angels, From
the Realms of Glory.”

Tales from the Royal
Bedchamber
Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries,
the royal bedchamber became a place
where aspiring courtiers could gain influence and status. If you were admitted to
see the king or queen in their undergarments, you knew you were pretty important. Now inquisitive historian Lucy
Worsley has journeyed into the late night
lives of the British Royal Family, peeking
behind the bedroom doors of medieval
kings right through to Queen Victoria. This
fascinating special explores the history of
the royal bedroom, its significance, its
style and who was allowed to enter.
Worsley visits palaces around Britain, from
Hampton Court to Osborne House on the
Isle of Wight, investigating how the bedrooms of the Royal Family were regarded
throughout history.

history, and future course of the papal office. Wolf was granted extraordinary access
to the Vatican and its archives by church authorities. During the program, Wolf visits
the first-century tomb of St. Peter, enjoys a private tour of St. Peter’s Basilica and
beholds the artistry of the Sistine Chapel and learns about the techniques that preserve and
restore its magnificent mosaics. He discovers the origin of Holy Year and why it fueled Martin
Luther's anger. He also witnesses the spectacle of two million pilgrims arriving to bid farewell to
Pope John Paul II and is afforded an insider’s perspective on the process of electing a new pontiff.
