Many public health experts and scientists say they are stunned by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for future vaccine development. MRNA technology was central in the battle against COVID and can be developed more quickly than traditional vaccines. Geoff Bennett discussed the implications with Dr. Michael Osterholm.

FRONTLINE examines Syria’s uncertain future, tracing jihadist-turned-statesman Ahmad al-Sharaa’s rise to power and investigating emerging threats to the country’s stability.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate​.

Syria faces an uncertain trajectory in the wake of the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad after a nearly 14-year war that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. The man who led the offensive to topple Assad — and now leads the fragile country — is Ahmad al-Sharaa, once known by his jihadist nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.

The geopolitical situation al-Sharaa is now shepherding Syria through is precarious. “Syria After Assad” examines how what happens in Syria under al-Sharaa’s rule could have consequential effects across the region and beyond, how al-Sharaa has wielded power so far and why the country is still deeply divided.

Although al-Sharaa has continually pledged unity and peace, members of the country’s minority groups — including the Kurds, the Druze and the Alawites — say they have been excluded and the latter fear retribution.

“The situation is very fluid; we just have to wait and see what happens,” Murhaf Jouejati, a Syrian academic and diplomat, says in the documentary. “We need to see this new administration be inclusive of all Syrians. We need to make sure that Syria will no longer be a center of terrorism.”

As “Syria After Assad” explores, the stakes are high for Syria’s people, the regional powers that have long engaged in deadly proxy battles in Syria, and the world.

James Jeffrey, a top diplomat in the region during the Bush, Obama and first Trump administrations, says, “What happens in Syria impacts all of the Middle East.”

”Syria After Assad” is a FRONTLINE production with Rain Media, Inc. The producers are Martin Smith, Brian Funck and Marcela Gaviria. The co-producers are Hoda Osman and Scott Anger. The writer and correspondent is Martin Smith. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

In “The Trouble with Antibiotics,” correspondent David E. Hoffman traveled the country and examined new research out of Arizona, Pennsylvania and North Texas focusing on how antibiotics on the farm might be fueling a crisis of antibiotic resistance for humans. The documentary traced the history and controversy over antibiotics in agriculture, discovered gaps in basic data about how antibiotics are used on the farm — and raised questions about why that information did not exist.

The CDC has estimated that more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections happen each year in the U.S., killing more than 35,000 people annually.

The 2014 documentary “Outbreak at NIH” centered on the story of a young man who contracted an antibiotic-resistant infection called KPC during an outbreak at one of the country’s most prestigious research hospitals. His parents spoke out about what they experienced. “He had acquired other infections along the way, but they always had antibiotics that were used, and he was able to get through those infections,” his father said in the documentary. “We never thought that it would be an infection that couldn’t be cured.”

“Outbreak at NIH” was a FRONTLINE production with American University School of Communication’s Investigative Reporting Workshop. It was written and produced by Rick Young and Anthony Szulc. The correspondent was David E. Hoffman. The deputy executive producer of FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath. The executive producer of FRONTLINE was David Fanning.

FRONTLINE investigates the Assad regime’s arrest, torture and execution of detainees during the Syrian war.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate​.

Six months after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, more than 100,000 of the 1 million people detained by Assad’s regime during the Syrian war are still unaccounted for. What is known about the brutal system of detention, torture and killing under which they disappeared?

“Syria’s Detainee Files” documents the search for answers and accountability, shedding new light on atrocities under Assad through stunning testimony of former regime insiders and officers who carried them out, alongside the accounts of people who survived them.

The documentary follows Shadi and Hadi Haroun, two brothers who survived torture and almost a decade of imprisonment. Shadi says, “I lost 10 years of my life because of someone’s decision. Simply, ‘Erase ten years of his life, from the smallest moments to the most important ones.’”

The film explores how many former officials — some of whom defected, and some of whom stayed loyal to the regime until the end — rationalize their actions, saying they were following the orders of a government that would have killed them otherwise.

Now that the Assad regime has fallen and there are calls for accountability, the film raises questions about who, in a vast system of people following orders, should be held responsible for the atrocities.

“Syria’s Detainee Files” is a BBC Current Affairs production for GBH/FRONTLINE and BBC. The producers are Amel Guettatfi, Saad Al Nassife and Sara Obeidat. The directors are Sasha Joelle Achilli and Sara Obeidat. The senior producer is Dan Edge. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

An investigation into the breakdowns with police, military and mental health care in the lead-up to what became the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate​

There were 656 mass shootings in the United States in 2023. The one in October in Lewiston, Maine — where an Army reservist killed 18 people and wounded 13 — was the year’s deadliest.
In “Breakdown in Maine,” FRONTLINE and its Local Journalism Initiative partners the Portland Press Herald and Maine Public examine a series of missteps by the military, local law enforcement and mental health providers before the tragedy. The documentary probes Maine’s unique gun laws and details the shooter’s brain injuries, possibly sustained during his time as an Army grenade instructor. It also examines the devastating impact of the shooting, including on Maine’s Deaf community, which lost four people that day.

“Whose fault is it? Who do we blame?” asks Megan Vozzella, whose husband, Steve, was killed in the shooting. “It makes me angry. He could have been stopped.”

Breakdown in Maine is a FRONTLINE production with Storyboard Studios LLC. The director is Bronwyn Berry. The producer is James Blue. The writers are Bronwyn Berry and James Blue.

As high school players grew bigger, faster and stronger, concerns were increasing about the health and safety of these young players — with rising rates of concussions, career-ending injuries, even death. FRONTLINE centered its investigation in Arkansas, where two players collapsed from heatstroke while practicing during one of the hottest summers on record. The players were placed in the same intensive care unit in Little Rock, both having suffered extensive damage to their internal organs.
