Program Descriptions:

SANJAY GUPTA MD

CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviews U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services Kathleen Sebelius for National Influenza Vaccination Week, speaks to a fighter pilot about claustrophobia and panic attacks, and famed neurologist Oliver Sacks, MD, about his new book, The Mind’s Eye. Sacks’ 1973 book, Awakenings, was adapted to a 1990 film starring Robert DeNiro.

TALIBAN

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interviews Norwegian journalist, author and film maker Paul Refsdal about his unprecedented journey behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. No Western journalist has ever spent as much time with the Taliban, with as unrestricted access, as Refsdal. Refsdal’s film and Cooper’s incisive interview form this documentary of a band of unrelenting and unrepentant Taliban fighters at war, preparing weapons, coordinating attacks, praying, and interacting with their families. It’s a journey that ended in Refsdal’s own kidnapping and harrowing escape.
