HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD In 1971, a group of friends sail into a nuclear test zone and their protest captures the world’s imagination, giving birth to Greenpeace and defining the modern green movement. Directed by Jerry Rothwell (Town of Runners), HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD chronicles the adventures of this eclectic group of young pioneers – Canadian hippie journalists, photographers, musicians, scientists, and American draft dodgers – who set out to stop Richard Nixon’s atomic bomb tests in Amchitka, Alaska, and end up making history. At the heart of the group is Bob Hunter, a charismatic Canadian journalist from Winnipeg who somehow managed to bind them together into a group with a single purpose, often at huge cost to himself. The story is framed by his first-person narrative, drawn from his writings and journals about the group, voiced alongside animations based on his early comics. I AM GIANT: VICTOR CRUZ Following the remarkable rags-to-riches story of New York Giants star wide receiver and Super Bowl XLVI Champion Victor Cruz, from his improbable rise to football stardom to a demoralizing injury to his dramatic attempt at a comeback. A SEASON WITH NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL From SHOWTIME Sports, this series chronicles the University of Notre Dame’s quest for a college football national championship with all-access coverage. Covering an entire season, viewers join Notre Dame’s student-athletes in the locker room and the classroom, with episodes featuring the previous week’s matchup, the intensity of the sidelines on game day, and the rigors of balancing athletics with classwork during the grueling season.
