The featured film is "Awakening", the first of the new three-part PBS series, "The Age of Nature." In the episode, viewers will discover how a new awareness of nature is helping to restore ecosystems from Panama to China to Mozambique. Viewers will see how innovative actions are being taken to repair man-made damage and restore reefs, rivers, animal populations and more.
