For those who may question of damage that fossil fuels wreck on the environment, filmmakers Maryann DeLeo and Ellen Goosenberg Kent offer a thoughtful meditation on global warming while offering various suggestions on what we can do to heal the planet we so frequently take for granted. We've all seen the signs: rising sea levels, deadly heat waves, melting ice caps. As troubling as they can be, has our wasteful lifestyle truly pushed us beyond the point of no return? Now, in hopes of making life better not just for ourselves but for future generations as well, DeLeo and Kent ask the pressing questions that need to be asked before showing just what steps need to be taken in order to ensure that relationship between mankind and mother nature remains healthy and well balanced. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Sopranos star James Gandolfini pulls double duty as executive producer and host of a documentary concerning wounded U.S. veterans of the Iraq War. Originally aired on HBO, Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq finds ten American GIs detailing their narrow brushes with death on the desert battlefield. The title of the program is derived from a phrase used by the soldiers to indicate the day that they cheated death during combat -- often with horrific, life-altering wounds that left them permanently disabled. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
