For those who haven’t yet caught on, P.O.V. is a strand of documentary programming on public TV which runs over the summer and into the fall each year. The standard time is 10 PM on Tuesdays, but you must check your local listings to see if your PBS station actually shows it at that time (the 3 stations in DC never did), but if not at that time, they probably still run the shows at some time, so check out the films on the P.O.V. site and on the top is a button to take you to the schedule.

Tuesdays program is No More Tears Sisters by Helene Klodawsky, “set during the violent ethnic conflict that has enveloped Sri Lanka over decades, the documentary recreates the courageous and vibrant life of renowned human rights activist Dr. Rajani Thiranagama. Mother, anatomy professor, author and symbol of hope, Thiranagama was assassinated at the age of 35. This documentary recounts her dramatic story.”
