"Beyond Fear" explores new scenarios for US global leadership built on common action, trust, and hope.

Every day the latest headlines reflect a world filled with fear.

Terrorism, war, disaster, and disease are grim realities brought closer to home in our increasingly connected world. And, they ultimately shape America's national security and foreign policies.

But fear itself cannot drive our daily lives.

"Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World" goes beyond the headlines with expert insight and field reporting from Africa, Asia, and Europe and explores new scenarios for US global leadership built on common action, trust, and hope.

David Brancaccio, host and editor of the PBS weekly series NOW, hosts and reports for the special one-hour broadcast. "Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World" is produced by Simon Marks, Kristin McHugh, and Keith Porter.

"Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World" is a Stanley Foundation production in association with KQED Public Radio.

Review of "Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World "- A Documentary Special

A polished and well-presented news magazine with indepth, reporter-driven stories. It tackles America's global image problem by focusing on "soft security issues" like military programs providing much-needed humanitarian assistence in Africa and Asia. It's great that part of the US military's enormous budget is spent doing good deeds. But its a bit disconcerting to hear such projects referred to as "pre-emptive first strikes" against terrorism. So much for American altruism.

I'm wary of applying the "documentary" tag to a news magazine such as this. I'm also wary of a program which so earnestly seems to be trying to foster a better image of the country for its own citizens. As an expat living across the pond and acutely aware of America's global image problem, I feel the promo material here somewhat misrepresents what I actually heard.

But if long newsy features are your thing, there is lots of interesting information here and it's nice to hear from Colin Powell again at the end.
