Each night, series host Robert MacNeil will provide context to the compelling stories and provocative points of view to be shown throughout the week. The series of 11 independently produced documentaries is scheduled to launch on Sunday, April 15 and will run nightly through Friday, April 20, 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. (ET). Additional films will air as specials following the premiere. Aimed at creating a national dialogue surrounding the crucial issues explored in the series, an extensive media and outreach campaign in more than 25 communities accompanies the series. The campaign features screening events with the filmmakers and their subjects in discussions with United States military personnel, leading policy experts, leaders of the Islamic community, scholars from across the country as well as members of the public. Integrated Web and educational initiatives further extend the campaign.*":http://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/about/ _unquote_ "_SERIES PREVIEW_":http://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/incl/vidpop_series_preview.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "*11 DOCUMENTARY FILMS / AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS BROADCAST TIMES HERE AND BELOW*":http://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/when/ (All times are Eastern Standard Time, Schedule Subject to Change) ```````````` _Sunday, April 15_ "*JIHAD: THE MEN AND IDEAS BEHIND AL QAEDA*":http://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/about/show_jihad.html 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. Paladin Invision, Producer William Cran of Paladin Invision, Writer and Director Clive Syddall of Paladin Invision, Executive Producer Adam Lively, CoProducer ```````````` _Monday, April 16_ "*WARRIORS*":http://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/about/show_warriors.html 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. Ann & Karl Zinsmeister, Producers Ed Robbins, Writer and Director Christian Galdabini, Videographer/Combat Cameraman Karen K.
