Built upon interviews with former cave inhabitants, as well as Chris Nicola, the caving enthusiast who unearthed the story, "No Place on Earth" is an extraordinary testament to ingenuity, willpower and endurance against all odds.

"Defiant Requiem" on PBS
Led by conductor Raphael Schchter, a chorus of 150 inmates of Terezin concentration camp performed one of the world's most difficult and powerful choral works, Verdi's Requiem, a Catholic work re-imagined as a condemnation of their captors. Six decades later, conductor Murry Sidlin and a new choir take Verdi's Requiem back to Terezin to reawaken this little known chapter of heroism and the resilience of the human spirit.
