SEARCH FOR LIFE, THE 050209
How did life begin? In a now-famous experiment, Professor Stanley Mil- ler, University of California, set up conditions like those he thought existed on earth before life began, a primitive ocean and a hydrogen- rich atmosphere. Then Dr. Miller added lightning. The result was astounding--but amino acid researchers at the University of Miami tried a different approach. They put drops of amino acid on hot lava and then washed it off with rain water. Their results were small, mov- ing one-celled animals. The film explains DNA and how it works, and recreates the above experiments.

SECTS AND VIOLENCE: FRAGMENTATION WITHIN RELIGION 055401
The three major religions of the Middle East are actually fragmented into smaller sects that compete for influence. "Sects and Violence" illustrates several examples of this fragmentation, including: the Muslim split between Shi'ites; the sectarian violence in Lebanon among Muslim, Maronite Christians, and the Druze: and the increasing friction in Israel between Jews of Ashkinazic and Sephardic orgin. We observe that within certain groups of all three major faiths religious activism often leads to political activism and confrontation.

We experience the "enchanted talk" of Yaqui deer songs as they are sung and danced to at a fiesta, the `pahko', which lasts from dusk to dawn. The songs are religious expressions of the "flower world," a place of complete harmony and beauty, the home of "little brother, the deer." A skit about coyotes who chase and capture a deer is performed amidst clowning with the audience. (Yaqui with English subtitles)
