The Heart of the Matter

Two documentary filmmakers look at the personal tolls of the war in Iraq. Raney Aronson, producer of the Frontline documentary "The Soldier’s Heart," is joined by Michael Tucker, producer/director of "Gunner Palace," and soldier Jon Powers. Then, New York singer/songwriter Ruth Gerson shares her brand of blues-infused folk music during a live in-studio performance. In The Orientalist, Tom Reiss unravels the complicated lattice of cultures and religions in the Caucasus and Middle East by focusing on the story of Lev Nussimbaum--a Jewish man born in the Caucasus during the Russian Revolution who posed as a Muslim Prince. And James B. Stewart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Wall Street Journal editor, shares his behind-the-scenes profile of the recent troubles at Disney.
