On the JOB with Lani Lou
Children's Program
An educational children’s program that provides children, ages 6-12, with answers about how things work and acts as an early introduction to career exploration. A combination of onsite interviews, graphics and animation enables viewers to see the world through our host Leilani/Lani Lou’s eyes. Watch Leilani spend a day with a pediatrician and learn why children need shots, what her heart sounds like and why we get hiccups. In another episode, Leilani chats it up with a paleontologist and finds out how they know what dinosaurs looked like!

Freedom Denied
Documentary
In 1983, Jean-Baptiste Edvard Pierre used a false passport to flee Duvalier-era Haiti. Upon arriving at Philadelphia Airport, Pierre's request for political asylum was denied and he was immediately transported to Salem County Jail -- where he would spend the next 28 months of his life. Freedom Denied posthumously tells the story of Jean-Baptiste's near decade long battle for political asylum in the United States, as told by the attorneys and community activists who fought side-by-side for his freedom.
