NO ARMS NEEDED: A HERO
REACHES OUT - (1 x 50 min) Marty
Ravellette was born without arms. He drives a
van, dresses himself, shoots pool, fishes - all
with his feet! He writes with a pen, dials the
telephone, shaves, brushes his teeth, and combs
his hair with his left foot. People around town
see him pushing his lawn mower, planting trees,
even cutting wood with his chainsaw. Marty even
saved a woman's life when he kicked in a window
of a burning car. Marty Ravelette has overcome
tremendous odds to live a life both extraordinary
and inspiring.

TRANSGENDER TEENS - (1 x
50 min) "What am I ...
a boy or a girl?" A transgender person
perceives their body to be one sex, while their
brain says they are the opposite sex. Although
there are families who stand by their children
through this transition, many are thrown out of
their homes, often leading to a desperate life of
depression, prostitution, and even suicide. This
program tells the story of two transgender
teenagers and the people who help them live with
their identity.

SAVING LIFE AND LIMB - (2 x 50
min) Imagine loosing a limb in
an accident, an arm or a leg ripped from your
body! Dramatic reenactments and actual surgical
footage of stories such as: Wayne's arm was
bitten off by an alligator; using skin and
muscles from other parts of his body, his arm has
been reconstructed. Tim fell face first into
the rotating blades of a lawn mower; surgeons
constructed a brand new face for Tim. During a
car crash Justin was impaled by a six-foot
pole; to save his life, rescuers transported
him to the hospital with the pole still in place.
