NATURE takes viewers into the world that is Under Antarctic Ice.http://cove.kcpt.org/video/995213750/Thu, 5 Mar 2009 12:09:49 -0800Nature & EnvironmentNature & Environment/AnimalsNature & Environment/EarthNature & Environment/EnvironmentNature & Environment/HabitatNature & Environment/Oceans & Aquatic LifeNature & Environment/Plant LifeRegionScienceScience/BiologyScience/Earth SciencesBelow Antarctica's frozen mass, a fantastic environment teems with life.tv-pgNature & EnvironmentNature & Environment/AnimalsNature & Environment/EarthNature & Environment/EnvironmentNature & Environment/HabitatNature & Environment/Oceans & Aquatic LifeNature & Environment/Plant LifeRegionScienceScience/BiologyScience/Earth Scienceshttp://cove.kcpt.org/video/1468973704/Welcome to the American Midwest: land of corn, and visionary farmers like Milford Beeghly. Beginning in the 1930s, his company "Beeghly's Best Hybrids" worked to develop genetically enhanced corn. Beeghly's grandson, filmmaker Monteith McCollum, combines interviews, archival footage and animation to create a portrait of this decidedly odd man, and the rich Iowa farmland that inspired his efforts.http://cove.kcpt.org/video/1468973704/Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:29:40 -0700Arts & LiteratureArts & Literature/DocumentaryArts & Literature/Mixed MediaCinemaCinema/Independent FilmCultureCulture/Food & DiningCulture/People & ProfilesHealth & WellnessHealth & Wellness/Diet & NutritionHealth & Wellness/Health ScienceHealth & Wellness/Public HealthHistoryHistory/20th & 21st CenturiesHistory/BiographiesHistory/The AmericasHistory/United StatesNature & EnvironmentNature & Environment/BiodiversityNature & Environment/ConservationNature & Environment/EarthNature & Environment/EnvironmentNature & Environment/Plant LifeNews & Public AffairsNews & Public Affairs/EnvironmentRegionRegion/North AmericaRegion/United StatesScienceScience/BiologyScience/Earth SciencesScience/ProfilesThe portrait of a corn pioneer, uniquely constructed with archival film & animation.tv-pgEnvironment, Farming, Earth DayArts & LiteratureArts & Literature/DocumentaryArts & Literature/Mixed MediaCinemaCinema/Independent FilmCultureCulture/Food & DiningCulture/People & ProfilesHealth & WellnessHealth & Wellness/Diet & NutritionHealth & Wellness/Health ScienceHealth & Wellness/Public HealthHistoryHistory/20th & 21st CenturiesHistory/BiographiesHistory/The AmericasHistory/United StatesNature & EnvironmentNature & Environment/BiodiversityNature & Environment/ConservationNature & Environment/EarthNature & Environment/EnvironmentNature & Environment/Plant LifeNews & Public AffairsNews & Public Affairs/EnvironmentRegionRegion/North AmericaRegion/United StatesScienceScience/BiologyScience/Earth SciencesScience/Profileshttp://cove.kcpt.org/video/1468939554/Can one person really make a difference?
