"My Shakespeare: Romeo And Juliet With Baz Luhrman"

In this broadcast twenty non-actors from Harlesden, a predominantly Afro-Caribbean area of northwest London, stage a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London's West End. They have just four weeks to explore Shakespeare's great play of love and loss. The production is directed by the Harlesden-born British actor Paterson Joseph and mentored by Australian film director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo+Juliet, La Boh??me). The experience of the novice actors revitalizes this classic play, and its enduring message has strikingly unexpected resonance with the cast. TV-PG

"Frontline: Is Wal-Mart Good for America?"

This documentary explores the relationship between U.S. job losses and the American consumer's desire for bargains. For many retailers, China has become the cheapest, most reliable production platform in the world. For Wal-Mart, China is the source of up to $25 billion in annual imports, helping the company deliver everyday low prices to 100 million customers a week. Through interviews with retail executives, product manufacturers, economists and trade experts, correspondent Hedrick Smith examines the growing controversy over the Wal-Mart way of doing business and asks whether a single retail giant has changed the American economy.
