village nestled in the mountains amidst the
humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers,
survivors of the war's massacres, recount
their journey home at war's end. When
they first returned their village no longer
existed.
Nevertheless they decided to stay. And
over the years as they worked the land,
built new homes and started new families,
the people of Cinquera learned to live with
sorrow.
THE TINIEST PLACE juxtaposes scenes
of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's
remarkable renaissance, with stories of
the war - how conflict arose, civil war
erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to
struggles for survival. "Don't cry when they
kill me" a mother recalls her 14-year old
daughter telling her before running away
to fight with the rebel army.
And though the village's history is always
visible - in an elaborate memorial for the
dead, or the persistent tremor of a
survivor's hand, towards the end of THE
TINIEST PLACE we too are returned to
the present. A cow gives birth, a high
school marching band plays, and children
walk to school in the rain. We see that, if
Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the
strength and deep love of its inhabitants.

FINDING FINDING THE THE FREEMEN
FREEMEN
FREEMEN
There is growing police concern about a
sub-set of Canadian society that prefers to
live outside the law.
A declining economy can be fertile ground
for fringe movements. Perhaps as many
as 30,000 people worldwide are part of the
expanding group called
Freeman-on-the-Land. Primarily, they
believe that governments do not have
jurisdiction over them. They sometimes
refuse to pay taxes, carry driver's licenses,
repay debts or otherwise accept
restrictions on their legal "person."
Here at home, the movement has caught
the attention of Canadian police because
of the violent activity of associated groups
in other countries, like the Sovereign
Citizens in the U.S. whose notorious
membership included Timothy McVeigh.
Some call the Freemen a harmless fringe
movement. However, as The National's
Adrienne Arsenault reports, the group may
be larger and more worrying than it
appears.

HEMINGWAY
Ernest Hemingway was a thrill-seeker
eager for exoticism. He would womanize,
hunt lions in Africa, supported the
Republican side during the Spanish Civil
War and reported on the D-Day invasion in
Normandy.
But he would always return to his sole
home port in Cuba, the Finca Vigia,
nowadays a museum dedicated to this
Literature Nobel Prize author, where the
rudder of his boat, Pilar, is displayed.
We also visit his favorite places in Havana,
the bars Floridita and the Bodeguita del
Medio and the hotel Ambos Mundos
where he used to rent a room.

CONFUCIUS
This overview of Confucius' biography and
philosophy from the Famous Authors
series contextualizes Confucius' life during
the Zhou Dynasty, relaying the Chinese
values of family and ancestor-worship,
history and record-keeping, and
spirituality.
This time saw many intellectual
developments and the concepts of
morality and peace were emerging, and
the program demonstrates the major
influence Confucius and his Analects, a
collection of epigrams, has had on
Chinese culture.
He focused on four major issues: helping
people to be good, honorable, and
responsible members of society; learning
and education; filial duty; and ritual and
music.
The program illuminates many of his
epigrams on these topics and
distinguishes between Confucianism,
which focuses on personal behavior, and
other religions which depend on exclusive
priesthoods and common beliefs.
