What's Coming on FRONTLINE Fall 2011/Winter 2012
Preview some of the stories and investigations already underway...
The Pot Republic
The bulk of the marijuana consumed in the U.S. used to come across the border. Now, more than half is believed to be home grown in California, where an enormous black market has emerged under the cover of the state's medical marijuana law.
100 Cheers
A few weeks after the tsunami, the ChimPom art collective traveled to a fishing village in Fukushima. Hand in hand with some young locals from the community, they created a video piece that became an expression of solidarity.
Level7
ChimPom rogue-installed "Level7," an addition to the mural "Myth of Tomorrow," a famous '60's-era painting by artist Taro Okamoto that's located in Tokyo's Shibuya subway station.
Doctor Hotspot
Using medical billing data in Camden, N.J., Dr. Jeffrey Brenner mapped out "hot spots" of the impoverished city's most costly patients. By targeting unique care -- including home visits and social workers -- at high-cost patients, he developed a program that he argues has both lowered health care costs and provided better care in Camden. But can his model work for the rest of the nation?
Preview: The Pot Republic
More than half of the marijuana consumed in the United States is believed to be home grown in California, where an enormous black market has emerged under the cover of the state's medical marijuana law. FRONTLINE and The Center for Investigative Reporting team up to investigate the country's oldest, largest, and most wide-open marijuana market.
The Atomic Artists
How Chim Pom, a provocative group of young artists, is challenging the status quo in Japan after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Its work, ranging from video pieces to rogue installations in public places, comes at a generation-defining moment as many question Japan's dependence on nuclear power.
Real Times
On April 11, 2011, the one-month anniversary of the earthquake, ChimPom artists traveled to the Fukushima Daiichi plant wearing Hazmat suits to create a new version of the Japanese flag.
Inside California's Green Rush
Sgt. Randy Johnson used to bust pot growers. Now he works with them. With more than a third of all states now trying some form of legalization and decriminalization, and several California counties attempting to openly regulate pot production, FRONTLINE and the Center for Investigative Reporting investigate the country's oldest, largest and most wide-open marijuana market in "The Pot Republic."

Educating Sergeant Pantzke
In a follow-up to FRONTLINE's "College, Inc.," correspondent Martin Smith investigates how for-profit schools are aggressively recruiting huge numbers of new veterans with educational promises that many now question whether they can keep.
The Child Cases Preview
Coming June 28. In this joint investigation with ProPublica and NPR, FRONTLINE correspondent A.C. Thompson unearths more than 20 child death cases in which people were jailed on medical evidence -- involving abuse, assault and "shaken-baby syndrome" -- that was later found unreliable or flat-out wrong. Are death investigators being properly trained for child cases?
