Tonight at 9pm, Japan's About Face will highlight the shifting role of the Japanese military in post-War Japanese society: "With troops in Iraq and sophisticated new fighter jets, Japan is reconsidering its rules of engagement. This program follows academy cadets preparing for possible overseas deployment and meets a group of peace demonstrators."
Later tonight, at 10pm, Tommy Lee Jones will narrate a new documentary about "a young man mistaken for a drug runner and killed by the U.S Marines patrolling the Texas- Mexico border. He became the first American killed by U.S military forces on native soil since the 1970 Kent state shootings." The Ballad of Esequiel Hernandez will explore Hernandez's death and "its torturous aftermath."
