Dive into Salman Rushdie’s masterpiece, “Midnight’s Children,” a work of magical realism that deals with India’s transition from British colonialism to independence. -- It begins with a countdown. A woman goes into labor as the clock ticks towards midnight. Across India, people wait for the declaration of independence after nearly 200 years of British rule. At the stroke of midnight, an infant and two new nations are born in perfect synchronicity. These events form the foundation of “Midnight’s Children.” Iseult Gillespie explores Salman Rushdie’s dazzling novel. Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat.

Dig into the infamous tales of the Brothers Grimm, and explore how these gory stories evolved as they spread around the world. -- An evil stepmother demands a maiden’s lungs and liver; a girl is ripped from a wolf’s stomach; and sisters mutilate their feet to squeeze into a gold slipper. During the early 1800s, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm gathered these unflinchingly gory details from stories circulating around what’s now Germany. Claudia Schwabe explores how these now-infamous tales evolved as they spread worldwide. Lesson by Claudia Schwabe, directed by Skirmanta Jakaitė.
