NOW on PBS | The Best of NOW: Issues and Insight | PBS

Duration: 24:03 (Full Program)
Program: NOW on PBS #618
Broadcast Date: Apr. 30, 2010

NOW ON PBS goes off the air with not just a look back at our most memorable moments, but a mission to leverage these eight years of investigation and insight
into lasting inspiration. In the special, NOW examines economic hardships and innovative solutions, the human faces behind the health-care fight and other political battles, environmental crises both here and around the world, and more 21st century issues that defined and changed us. NOW ON PBS dedicates this last show, as it has every show, to the issues that matter. Because — now, more than ever — they still do.
