With John Kenrick, Entertainment Historian

4/8 Barbra Streisand: “Try the Sky ‘Cause That’ll Be Me” – How did a girl from Brooklyn overcome a painful childhood and crippling insecurity to achieve super stardom on stage, screen, recordings and television?  John Kenrick returns to offer a frank and affectionate look at Streisand’s life and career, featuring performance videos and fascinating behind the scenes stories. 

4/22 Schindler’s List: “Whoever Saves One Life Saves the World Entire” – When Australian author Thomas Keneally stopped by a Los Angeles shop to replace a worn out briefcase, the shop owner — a holocaust survivor — introduced him to the story of a German factory owner who helped save 1,200 Jews from death. What did it take to bring this almost forgotten story into print? And how did Steven Spielberg turn this into a wildly successful and acclaimed film? John will pull back the curtain on this landmark cinematic event and on its ongoing legacy.
