St. Croix, USVI - Farm Tech City
There are “islands” among the islands of the USVI. From food education and food independence to a center for technology, Earl and Craig meet the people who are turning vulnerabilities into strengths.
Asheville, NC - The French Broad
The French Broad River is at the heart of Asheville, NC. The team meets the people and organizations trying to balance nature and development. Walking in the River Arts District reveals the critical role the river plays in the city’s identity. Next, Craig and Earl visit an urban “peace garden” to learn how Hood Huggers International is transforming a disenfranchised community in W. Asheville.
Nashville, TN - Making Space
The Good Road team takes a tour of some of the alternative venues in the Music City. A visit to the National Museum of African American Music on the Broadway strip proves to be enlightening. Just miles from there, heading away from downtown on Broadway, stands a perfect scale replica of the Parthenon. Craig and Earl talk to changemakers and musicians who see another future for Nashville.
St. Thomas, USVI - Not Just a Rock
The U.S. Virgin Islands - St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix - were formerly a colony of Denmark and were sold to the U.S. in 1917 for military reasons. Tourism on all three is under threat from coral disease. Earl and Craig follow Dr. Marilyn Brandt and her team of scuba diving scientists who study and combat this threat to coral – known to be the “lungs of the planet.”
Mosul, Iraq - Hardwired
Craig and Earl travel to history-rich Mosul and the Nineveh plains with non-profit Hardwired Global. We discover what it's like to bring unity to this country through the many schools Hardwired works in. The children of Kurdish Christians and those of extremist Islamic groups learn to understand each other by participating in school plays about the conflict between what else – apples and bananas.
