For your viewing and/or taping for later viewing.

On WILL-TV, your public TV station in Urbana:

1) Monday, Sept 9, 9pm "Afghanistan Year 1380" (repeated 1am and 4am Wed.)


The months leading up to the religious New Year of 1380 in Afghanistan were
the months after the September 11, 2001 attacks and the U.S. retaliation
against the Taliban regime. For ordinary Afghans, the time between President
Bush's declaration of war and the fall of Kabul brought yet another passage
of death and suffering in a country alternately ravaged and abandoned by
global political forces. 

In a riveting follow-up to their internationally acclaimed documentary,
"Jung (War) In the Land of the Mujaheddin," which looked at life under the
Taliban pre-September 11, the Italian filmmaking team of Alberto
Vendemmiati, Fabrizio Lazzaretti, and Giuseppe Petitto have produced a
remarkable journal of life under the bombs after September 11 in
"Afghanistan Year 1380." 

"Afghanistan Year 1380" is an extraordinary record of war and humanitarian
activism. It is an apt reminder that modern war is most brutal for the young
and helpless. 

2) Tuesday, Sept. 10th
    a) 7pm "Twin Towers: A History" 
    b) 8pm "Why the Towers Fell" repeated midnight Wed. and 2am Thursday)
    c) 9pm "America Rebuilds" repeated 3am Thursday

3) Wednesday, Sept. 11, 7pm "Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero"

Frontline explores how survivors, families and friends are coping with
difficult questions of good and evil, God's culpability and the potential
for darkness within religion itself.
