Get with the Program: Banks and Gays in the Military

Spend your Tuesday evening learning about the economy and gay rights, two prevalent and controversial issues our country faces.


Frontline "Breaking the Bank"
In the season finale Frontline uncovers the government nationalizing the banking system and explores he change between government and private business. "FRONTLINE untangles the complicated financial and political web threatening one particular superbank, Bank of America, in particular."


"With brand name banks on the bring of failure and the federal government contemplating a massive nationalization of the banking industry, FRONTLINE goes behind closed doors to tell the inside story of how things went so wrong so fast and to document efforts to stabilize the industry."



Tune in to PBS Tuesday, June 16 at 9pm ET for Frontline's "Breaking the Bank"


Independent Lens "Ask Not"
With gay rights already being a controversial issue, explore the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Because of this policy gay Americans serve in the military under a "veil of silence." These veterans are now turning to activism to make a stance and express their feelings on this controversial policy. "Ask Not" reveals personal stories of gay Americans who serve in combat with this secrecy.
