Speeches, documentaries and debates.

The U.S. State Department advises no travel to Haiti because of "crime and civil unrest". It's a familiar headline in a nation still recovering from a devastating earthquake in 2010. In the documentary "Haiti Untold", the Peabody-award winning reporting team at Round Earth Media tells stories of Haiti's history and culture that go beyond the typical image of chaos and poverty.
With the news that dozens of rich and famous parents are charged with bribery and cheating to get their kids into elite schools, we re-visit the APM Reports documentary "Changing Class". It explores why elite schools -- and even many state schools -- are accepting fewer poor students than in the past, and the effect that's having on class mobility in the United States.
