Life's Big History Lessons

8pm HISTORY DETECTIVES Documentary – Exploring the stories behind artifacts and historical curiosities.

A cane with Japanese characters carved into it that may shed light of a family's past in a WWII relocation camp; the history behind a wooden telescope; whether a drawing of eight-pound gold nuggets is genuine.

9pm WE’LL MEET AGAIN Documentary - Join Ann Curry for dramatic reunions of people whose lives crossed at pivotal moments. View history through their eyes and hear stories of heroism, hope and the forging of unbreakable bonds.
 

HEROES OF 9/11 – A reunion of people whose lives intersected on 9/11. It’s very rare that the course of a nation – and the world – changes in a single day. But that’s what happened on September 11, 2001. For two men, in very different walks of life, it was the kindness of strangers that helped them survive the trauma of the day and of the intervening years. Patrick searches for the stranger who comforted him after the disaster, while Timothy hopes to thank the fellow chaplain who gave him the strength to carry on.
