Beautiful Minds: Stephen Wiltshire
Topic: TV Documentary 7:31 pm EDT, Jul 26, 2008

Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not speak his first words "pencil" and "paper" until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. For this film we're testing the "Living camera" in Rome.

Taxicab Confessions: New York, New York
Topic: TV Documentary 10:12 pm EST, Feb 15, 2005

In the safety of a taxicab, under the cover of a New York City night, people are capable of saying and doing anything.

The latest edition of HBO's Emmy-winning hit documentary series "Taxicab Confessions" returns to the streets of New York City for the first time after an eight-year hiatus.

TAXICAB CONFESSIONS: NEW YORK, NEW YORK records more intimate nocturnal conversations with actual taxicab passengers -- chronicling a disparate group of revelers, fetishists, romantics and lonely hearts as they spill their innermost secrets to anonymous cab drivers.

This episode, which first aired on February 5, has some good segments; the best ones don't get mentioned in the streaming-video promo clip available here. Instead they are saved as surprises for when you watch the show.

Someone's Watching
Topic: TV Documentary 12:49 pm EST, Dec 18, 2004

For centuries, one of the foundations of civilized life has been the concept of privacy. Today, however, a technological revolution threatens to break down the walls that keep our lives private.

Whether we're at home or at work, almost everything we do or say can be seen and heard by strangers -- if they have the right electronic capability.

Someone's Watching will take viewers into the heart of this brave new world. We'll meet the users of eavesdropping technology, from FBI agents to private investigators, from corporate security officers to anxious parents. We'll learn about the latest innovations in electronic surveillance, from tiny video cameras to software that monitors e-mail, from data mining to GPS tracking devices. And we'll experience real-life stories that illuminate the legal and ethical dilemmas that arise from the use of surveillance.

FYI. The promotional teaser was quite over-the-top and melodramatic (such as asking the FBI, "Should the American people trust the FBI?"), but this program might be worth taking in. The promo is online at
