13: The Musical
In a middle school in Appleton, Indiana, thirteen 13 year olds are finding their way from childhood into a whole new unnverving era -- their teens. Like millions of kids in transition across America, they are trying to understand the barrage of contradictory messages thrown their way, and more immediately trying to figure out how to be in with the right crowd and be 'cool.'

Against the Tide: The Story of the Cajun People of Louisiana
Against the Tide is the epic story of one of the most celebrated and misunderstood ethnic communities in North America. Ravaged by bloody religious wars, French farmers left Western France in the 17th century to establish a new homeland in the wilderness of what today is Nova Scotia. After a brutal deportation by the British, (ethnic cleansing in contemporary parlance) the ancestors of the Cajun people were able to end their exile and reunite their families in Louisiana. Through the years, the Cajun people have maintained their identity and language in spite of the overwhelming pressure of Americanization.
