                     American Experience: Death & The Civil War: From acclaimed filmmaker Ric Burns, "Death
                           and the Civil War" explores an essential but largely overlooked aspect of the most
                           pivotal event in American history. With the coming of the Civil War, and the staggering
                           casualties it ushered in, death entered the experience of the American people as it
                           never had before - permanently altering the character of the republic, and the psyche
                           of the American people. Based on Drew Gilpin Faust's groundbreaking book, "This Republic
                           of Suffering," the film tracks the increasingly lethal arc of the war down through
                           the struggle, in the war's aftermath, to cope with an American landscape littered
                           with the bodies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Call #: ON ORDER

                     Frontline: Being Mortal: PBS and host, writer and surgeon Atul Gawande examine how
                           doctors care for terminally ill patients. In conjunction with Gawande's new book,
                           Being Mortal, the film explores the relationships between doctors and patients nearing
                           the end of life and shows how many doctors struggle to talk openly. Director and Producer:

                     Frontline: Facing Death: In this film, FRONTLINE gains access to the ICU of one of
                           New York's biggest hospitals to examine the complicated reality of today's modern,
                           medicalized death. Here, we find doctors and nurses struggling to guide families through
                           the maze of end-of-life choices they now confront whether to pull feeding and breathing
                           tubes, when to perform expensive surgeries and therapies or to call for hospice. The
                           film also offers an unusually intimate portrait of patients facing the prospect of
                           dying in ways that they might never have wanted or imagined. Narrator: Will Lyman.

                     Frontline: The Undertaking: FRONTLINE profiles Thomas Lynch, a poet and undertaker
                           whose family has cared for the dead in a small town in central Michigan for three
                           generations. In The Undertaking, a critically acclaimed book, Lynch offered unique
                           and profound insight into what he called the "dismal trade." In an intimate and revealing
                           film, Lynch helps makes sense of the ways Americans cope with death, grief, and life.
