Ferguson: City Under Siege - Fault Lines

Title: Ferguson: City Under Siege - Fault Lines
Runtime: 25:36
Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: On August 9, 2014, an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot dead by police in the city of Ferguson, Missouri.

The killing sparked several days of protests in the community—and prompted a militarized crackdown by police.

Fault Lines goes to Ferguson to witness the demonstrations and the subsequent heavy-handed police reaction—and to ask wider questions about why Michael Brown was shot and why the authorities' response was so disproportionate.

Baltimore: Anatomy of An American City - Fault Lines

Title: Baltimore: Anatomy of An American City - Fault Lines
Runtime: 24:24
Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: The election of the first black president offered hope to millions of African-Americans across the United States. But have four years of an Obama presidency seen actual positive change for black communities in inner cities?

Nearly 30 years of drug policies have perpetuated cycles of violence and economic repression in U.S. inner cities—especially in poor, minority neighborhoods. While the "war on drugs" rages in the U.S., there is some political consensus it is failing. White House officials have even indicated a policy shift away from incarceration and toward a public health strategy.

In Baltimore, one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S., the police reframed their "war on drugs" as a "war on guns." The rhetoric may have changed, but critics say nothing else has. Concentrated law enforcement has resulted in high levels of incarceration among young African-Americans and the criminalization of entire communities.

Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: Nagieb Khaja reports from the Taliban stronghold of Charkh, Logar Province.

Though only an hour from Kabul, armed Taliban fighters walk openly in the streets, and government and Western forces are entirely absent. Khaja bears witness to the parallel administration the Taliban has built in Charkh and hears testimony from the population—including from the families of civilian casualties of Afghan National Army bombings.

Khaja is the first Western journalist to film a Taliban Sharia court, where he witnesses a case in which the defendant is a Taliban member and the outcome is surprising. He also visits local boys and girls schools run in concert with the Taliban.

"This is Taliban Country" shows a defiant Taliban determined to continue attacking Afghan National Army bases and keep control of the region.

The technology was inspired by car crash crumple zones, a safety feature, often at the front of a car. And the idea has inspired engineers to design the world's widest bridge with sections that could absorb earthquake damage.

Marita Davison goes inside the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and also looks at an office building using similar seismic innovations.

Title: America's War Workers - Fault Lines
Runtime: 26:37
Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: In 2013 there were nearly 40,000 foreign contract workers on bases in the U.S. military’s Central Command. Hailing primarily from India and Nepal, these laborers serve American troops in facilities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. These “third country nationals” are willing to travel to a warzone for the promise of a high salary.

In its investigation, Fault Lines finds that these laborers regularly end up deceived and indebted, victims of local recruiters who charge thousands of dollars for a chance to be placed in one of these jobs, and labor traffickers who profit from military contracts.

Has the US military come to rely on an indentured workforce? Fault Lines retraces the journey that these workers often make – from villages in India to labor camps in Dubai – to examine how the U.S. staffs its bases during wartime.

The Deported: America's Immigration Battle - Fault Lines

Title: The Deported: America's Immigration Battle - Fault Lines
Runtime: 26:11
Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: In the coming year the number of immigrants deported under President Barack Obama will likely surpass two million; that’s more than the total number of deportations prior to 1997. The result is more families are being divided, with many who have lived for decades in the United States forced to return to a homeland they barely recognize.

In the halls of Congress the immigration reform debate remains at a standstill, and a civil disobedience movement has spread across the country pushing for Obama to halt deportations until reform passes.

Fault Lines looks beneath the political rhetoric to examine the impact of a broken immigration system on immigrant families.

Description: After a brief experiment with civilian democracy, Egypt reverted back to military rule on July 3, 2013. Egypt’s first civilian president Mohamed Morsi was ousted days amid mass protests against him nationwide on June 30. The military used the demonstrations to depose Morsi and return to power.

The events in Egypt over that summer left the country deeply polarized between those in favor of the military and others bitterly opposed. Since then, well over a thousand people have been killed and nearly two thousand arrested. Emergency law is back and a sense of fear prevails.

Egypt is the second largest recipient of U.S. military aid, receiving roughly $1.3 billion per year. After the height of the violence this summer, President Obama declared that "traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual."

An e-cig is a new nicotine delivery device that’s come over recently to the U.S. and started growing exponentially as a business. There's a small lithium battery inside an e-cigarette’s customizable module, or “mod,” which powers an atomizer and then heats up a liquid solution (usually nicotine dissolved in propylene glycol plus flavoring and colors). The solution turns into vapor, which is inhaled and exhaled like smoke. The solutions, called “juices” because of the different fruity flavors available, can have nicotine concentrations from 0mg to 26mg. 3. Are they healthier than regular cigarettes?
