MoneyTrack
Your Guide to Investing and Protecting Your Money
Welcome to MoneyTrack,
the national public television series that teaches viewers how to
invest wisely and avoid common financial scams. The first season
of the series has aired on over 180 stations nationwide and continues
to be broadcast in major cities throughout the country.
MoneyTrack is co-hosted by former TechTV financial reporter
Pam Krueger and nationally-recognized comedian Jack Gallagher. Using
humor and a more “relaxed” approach, Pam and Jack banter
with one another and guide viewers through a variety of “mini”
investing lessons that come in the form of such show segments as
Money Minute, Scam Alert, and Investing 101. In each 30-minute episode,
the show tackles the basics of saving, investing, and overall money
management that will hopefully, show viewers that they do not need
to know everything about the business world or Wall Street in order
to retire and live well.
Now, in its second season, MoneyTrack features lifestyle-driven
segments using real people who overcome real financial hurdles to
become successful investors. Fifteen new episodes are scheduled
to begin airing on public television stations across the country
in the spring of 2007. |

Chevalier:
Maurice & Me
This
90 minute tribute to Chevalier stars Tony Sandler ( formerly of
the world renowned singing duo Sandler & Young). Tony has
the same charm wit and savoir faire that Chevalier used to delight
an audience with. Tony Sandler delivers the story and the songs
in English with just enough French to give this show a romantic
authenticity.

Women
of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo-The Great Mother
In
English and Tibetan with English subtitle. This
quietly provocative, deeply moving documentary relates the story
of the woman who gave birth to His Holiness the Dalai Lama to illuminate
the idea that a loving, compassionate and fierce feminine aspect
lives within each of us. Through interviews, commentary, rare footage
and photographs, director Rosemary Rawcliffe tells the story of
Gyalyum
Chemo, known as the Great Mother, who gave birth to 16 children,
led her family to safety during the Communist Chinese invasion and
inspired one of today's most important spiritual leaders and advocate
for world peace. His Holiness, family members and friends, including
Jetsun Pema, Diki Surkhang, Dr. Marion Woodman, Alice Walker, and
Angeles Arrien, speak about the often invisible yet ever-powerful
impact of a mother's love, revealing the importance of the Great
Mother archetype and its relevance today.
As the Dalai
Lama says in the film: "A mother is the most important part
of building a healthy family, and that means a heathy humanity."
