  • The new documentary called It's a Girl looks at the global issue of 'gendercide', the practice of aborting or abandoning unwanted female infants, which in some places is not considered to be a crime. Mark McLemore talks to filmmaker Evan Grae Davis about traveling around the world to tell this story.

  • How would you tell your loved ones the news if you were diagnosed with breast cancer? Voices for the Cure introduces us to two sisters, one of whom is a cancer survivor.
