Episodic Programming
NY Common Pantry Series (Director: Victor Ilyukhin)
Food and nutrition security is a key social determinant of health, and a 2022 survey showed that nearly half of all food-insecure New Yorkers rate their health as poor or fair. The Common Pantry addresses this hands-on. The dedicated staff and volunteers provide fresh, quality food and are committed to honoring the dignity and self-sufficiency of the Pantry’s recipients. This series features The Common Pantry and the community it serves, in a city where food insecurity causes major disparities among its residents.
Life Rituals (Director: Denise M McQueen)
Life Rituals is a documentary-style reality TV show where participants confront their deepest fears and sorrows in a transformative setting. Guided by renowned healer Denise McQueen, they use healing tools like crystals, herbs, and water to set the stage for their personal healing journey. The show captures their transformations and revisits them six weeks later to see the lasting impact of the rituals.
The Disease Detective Looks at Aphasia (Director: Laura Valtorta)
Aphasia is a language disorder that can occur after a stroke. The Aphasia Lab at the University of South Carolina studies the effects of aphasia on the brain and offers social outlets for people with aphasia.
