A preview of PBS' upcoming series CARRIER.

A firsthand look at the PBS documentary series Carrier, which follows a core group of film participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of the strike group to the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror. Get access to behind-the-scenes footage and additional commentary that sets the stage for a dramatic voyage for the sailors and officers aboard.

Big Apple's founder and its newly installed artistic director embark on their annual trip to the renowned Monte Carlo circus festival - a kind of international circus family reunion - to scout fresh talent.

Training their cameras on the Big Apple Circus for an entire traveling season, filmmakers Maro Chermayeff and Jeff Dupre capture a fascinating world of uncommon characters who have devoted their lives to the art of entertaining others. The result is a six-part study of the men and women who make the modern-day circus work, as well as a look at behind-the-scenes drama that cheering crowds never get to see.

Filmed during a six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf in support of ground troops, this in-depth documentary takes an insider's tour of the U.S.S. Nimitz, one of America's most storied aircraft carriers. Cameras follow Navy personnel as they perform their duties, navigate conflicts and ponder questions about patriotism and sacrifice, all against the backdrop of daily routines aboard one of the most lethal naval vessels ever constructed.
