The United States is one of the only countries in the 

world that allows children under 18 to be sentenced 

to life without parole. Human Rights Watch and 

Amnesty International report that more than 2,000 

inmates are currently serving life without parole in the 

United States for crimes committed when they were 

juveniles; in the rest of the world, there are only 12

juveniles serving the same sentence, according to

figures reported to the United Nations' Convention on

the Rights of the Child. In When Kids Get Life,

FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (The O.J. Verdict,

Innocence Lost) travels to Colorado to profile five 

individuals sentenced to life without parole as 

juveniles. See video

Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial is an award winning NOVA documentary on the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, which concentrated on the question of whether or not intelligent design could be viewed as science and taught in school science class. It aired in on PBS in November 2007 and features interviews with the judge, witnesses, and lawyers as well as re-enacted scenes (no cameras were allowed in court).

The documentary was praised by Nature, and described as accurate by the National Center for Science Education. Variety magazine also gave the documentary a positive review, and said it was one of the year’s most important television projects, that “should be shown not just in every U.S. high school but in houses of worship as well.”

In contrast to the positive reception the film has been given, creationist and intelligent design supporters have criticized the documentary. The Discovery Institute produced a website critical of the broadcast. Answers in Genesis claimed the evidence for evolution presented by scientists in Judgment Day was fallacious. The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) also claimed the film was not balanced. WKNO-TV, the local PBS affiliate in Memphis decided not to air the documentary because of the “controversial nature” of the subject, but has since promised to broadcast it in 2008.
