"Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" - A THINK GLOBAL Documentary Special
From: The Stanley Foundation
Length: 00:58:56
Globalization confers a mixed blessing upon the world. Threats to health and security move across national borders as easily as information and capital.
Can we find global responses to these global challenges? "Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" will focus on personal stories illustrating some of the most dangerous threats facing the world today: weapons of mass destruction, HIV/AIDS, civil war, small arms, interstate conflict, terrorism, and organized crime. These stories will be woven with the relevance and potential impact on America and Americans, as well as the latest efforts to find collective answers to these shared problems.
David Brancaccio, host and editor of the PBS weekly series NOW hosts and reports for the special one-hour documentary. "Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" is produced by Simon Marks, Kristin McHugh, and Keith Porter.
"Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" is part of the 2005 Public Radio Collaboration.
"Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" is a Stanley Foundation production in association with KQED Public Radio.
