Phoebe Anne Moses, called Annie, first picked up a gun in 1875 at age 15 not to become a superstar, but to save her family from destitution. Annie taught herself to shoot and took to the woods of Greenville, Ohio to hunt quail, which she would sell at the general store. (The sentences are from PBS.) This short sequence - Annie Oakley, the famous sharpshooter, pegs a number of targets in succession, including coins thrown into the air. She was a favorite of the Buffalo Bill Wild West show.

Three years ago, we set out to make a film about the self-proclaimed Asparagus Capital of the Nation, the tiny rural community in western Michigan where Kirsten grew up in the 1970s and 80s. As the daughter of an asparagus farmer, Kirsten spent her childhood working on the farm and was a proud member of the pre-teen asparagus dance troupe The Oceana Stalkers. There was no question that asparagus was huge in Oceana County. Hailed as Green Gold, it was exactly what this poor rural community needed - a spring cash crop at the end of a long cold winter. Plus it was just about the only thing that would grow in their dry, sandy soil. Local merchants, housewives, and farmers banded together over the "Super Stalk." They baked the world's tallest asparagus cake, created "The Stalk" disco dance, and sang their asparagus songs all the way to the White House. Asparagus was King in Oceana County. Then came the U.S. War on Drugs. In 1991, when cocaine imports were at an all time high, The U.S. signed the Andean Trade Preference Act, eliminating all import tariffs on South American asparagus. The idea was that South American farmers would stop growing cocaine and start growing asparagus. Ten years later, the U.S. continues to send huge subsidies to Peru for their alternative crop program, but it was asparagus that exploded there, even though it grows in entirely different regions than cocaine! The Free Trade band wagon was moving fast, with NAFTA bringing an additional flood of Mexican asparagus. Now, China has started exporting their asparagus to the U.S! But where does all this leave the "'Asparagus Capital of the Nation"? In June of 2002, Kirsten invited Anne to visit the National Asparagus Festival and we found a community's identity at stake. Oceana County's pride and joy was in direct contrast with the speed with which their most valuable crop was being taken away. We realized that what was happening in Oceana County brought up really big questions about American identity and global economics, and about what gives a community a center. With the Foreign Policy decisions the U.S. Government is making today, how can a small community keep its pride, identity and source of economic survival? (6mins)

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary (April 21, 1926) is Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father ascended the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she had four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

Wallis Simpson found herself at the center of a national scandal when she was seen to ensnare Edward VIII and lure him from the throne of England. But in this explosive film, biographer Anne Sebba sifts through a newly discovered cache of documents - shown in this film for the first time - that contains 15 secret letters written by Wallis Simpson herself around the time ofthe abdication. These extraordinary personal missives have the power to rewrite both history and our perception of Wallis. They reveal she was deeply in love with another man, and chart her fear, desperation and loneliness as she found herself becoming trapped into marrying the man who should have been king. (51:17)

The story of the streetwise songwriter who made it big in Hollywood and on Broadway.“Heart and Soul: The Life and Music of Frank Loesser” profiles the tough-talking, tempestuous, big-hearted musical genius who made an indelible imprint on American musical theater and popular song. Best known for his Broadway smash hits, “Guys and Dolls,” “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” and “The Most Happy Fella,” Loesser wrote songs for over 60 Hollywood film scores, including classics “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “On a Slow Boat to China,” and “Heart and Soul.” He also wrote the score for the MGM motion picture, “Hans Christian Andersen.”Loesser’s success at writing both words and music for Broadway puts him in the elite company of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. One observer calls Loesser, “Cole Porter, without the martini in his hand,” because of his ability to capture the flavor of everyday American life and speech in popular song.The film features performance clips from the golden age of Broadway and Hollywood musicals, and interviews with Matthew Broderick, Charles Nelson Reilly, Robert Morse, James Burrows, Stephen Schwartz, Jerry Herman, and Maury Yeston, among others. Loesser’s widow, Jo Sullivan Loesser, and children Susan, John and Emily share insights and recollections.“Heart and Soul” has it all: a fascinating subject, entertaining behind the scenes stories, and music that has a special place in Americans’ hearts – and souls.
