PROGRAMMING AND CONTENT
Nichols’ Folly
Dive into the dramatic story of the nation’s 昀椀rst planned shopping center in Nichols’ Folly: A
Century of the Country Club Plaza. When developer J.C. Nichols revealed plans for the Plaza in

experience remains a luxurious shopping center, but its future is uncertain.

AIDS in KC: Getting to Zero
This chapter of AIDS in KC showcases individuals currently navigating the complexities of living
with HIV/AIDS. This episode follows up with local organizers aiming for a future of zero new
infections, zero AIDS-related deaths and zero discrimination, even as infection rates in some
communities continue to rise and the price of treatment remains out of reach for many.
How Should We Care?
It’s considered one of life’s toughest decisions: Is it better for an elderly loved one to age in
place or be cared for in a nursing home? What would you do? It’s called the nursing home
dilemma for a reason, and the already emotionally-charged decision has just become a lot
more dif昀椀cult. Filmmaker Michael Price exposes widening cracks in an already stressed and
fractured elder care system.
