Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?

Examines the role of social determinants of health in creating health inequalities/health disparities in the United States. Based on extensive research by a wide variety of academics, public health experts, and medical practitioners, the seven-part series explores how class and racism can have greater impacts on one's health outcomes than genetics or personal behavior. The opening 56-minute episode, In Sickness and In Wealth, presents the series’ overarching themes. Each supporting half-hour episode, set in a different ethnic/racial community, provides a deeper exploration of how social conditions affect population health, and how some communities are extending their lives by improving them.

Store Front

"Store Front" is an independent comedy series from 2008, blending elements of workplace sitcom, absurd humour, and light mystery. Created in a low-budget, DIY style reminiscent of early web series or cult cable shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or "Clerks," it follows the chaotic daily operations of a versatile retail store called Storefront, which has morphed over the years into various businesses—now a music store. The pilot episode, titled "Opening" or simply the series premiere, establishes the premise: a quirky ensemble cast dealing with eccentric customers, interpersonal drama, and the recurring trope of discovering a mysterious dead body each week. This sets up a formulaic structure for future episodes, combining retail satire with dark comedic twists.

Hitler's East Prussia

Witnesses tell not only of the terror of flight but also of responsibility, guilt and innocence, hopes and fears in the years before and during the war. The story of East Prussia is the story of an eternal outpost. Prussia has always played a special role in Europe: as an island away from the German Empire, as a stronghold, as the home of a people with a unique language. Her dramatic downfall is just as unique. Consequently, Prussia became a myth. Beyond the Myth shows the East Prussians and their idiosyncrasies, their ambivalent ties to Germany, their fatal pact with Hitler, their fluctuation between ignorance and insight. East Prussia was at the forefront: a staging ground for campaigns, the site of Hitler’s headquarters, a gateway to the Red Army, the focal point of flight and expulsion.
