OUR AMERICA WITH LISA LING FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
"Our America with Lisa Ling 2011 Emmy DVD" features an insightful exploration of two compelling and thought-provoking episodes from the show's first season, which delve into significant social and cultural topics.
1) Faith Healers: In this riveting episode, Lisa Ling takes viewers on a journey to a vibrant and emotional faith healing revival led by the controversial evangelist Todd Bentley. Known for his charismatic preaching style and dramatic healing claims, Bentley attracts a large following who are eager to experience miraculous cures for their ailments. Ling explores the fervent atmosphere of the revival, where believers gather in hopes of receiving divine intervention. Throughout the episode, Ling delves into the stories of individuals seeking healing—from those battling chronic illnesses to those facing mental health challenges. The program raises important questions about faith, belief, and the intersection between spirituality and modern medicine. It investigates the psychological impact of faith healing and the sometimes controversial nature of religious practices that claim to cure physical and emotional pain.
As Ling interviews attendees and Bentley himself, viewers gain insight into the motivations behind their faith and the societal implications of such revivals. The episode ultimately challenges the audience to consider the power of belief, the ethics surrounding faith healing, and how it fits within the wider framework of healthcare in America.
2) Transgender Lives: The second episode focuses on the personal narratives of five transgender individuals, each at different stages of their transition journey. Lisa Ling provides a platform for these voices, exploring their unique experiences, struggles, and triumphs within a society that often marginalizes transgender identities. Each story is a poignant reminder of the diversity within the transgender community and highlights the varying challenges they face, from discrimination and mental health issues to the often complex relationship with family and society.
Through intimate interviews and candid discussions, Ling sheds light on topics such as:
Identity and Self-Discovery: The process of understanding and accepting one's gender identity.
Medical Transition: Insights into the physical aspects of transitioning, including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
Social Acceptance: The impact of societal views on transgender individuals and their quest for acceptance.
Community Support: The importance of support networks and the role of advocacy organizations in aiding individuals during their transition.
Challenges and Triumphs: Personal stories of resilience in the face of adversity, as well as moments of joy and achievement in their journeys.
This episode serves not only to educate the audience about the complexities of transgender lives but also aims to foster empathy and understanding. By showcasing these deeply personal narratives, Ling encourages viewers to reflect on broader issues of gender identity and the importance of advocacy for transgender rights.
Taken together, both episodes featured on the "Our America with Lisa Ling 2011 Emmy DVD" offer a profound look into the human experience, challenging viewers to confront their beliefs and expand their understanding of these critical social issues.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
