	Description:		Some brand new releases plus a conversation with Malcolm Gladwell. Featuring: Dolly Parton's America, Revisionist History, Scattered, Larger Than Life, Hunting Warhead. Dolly Parton's America – "Porter Wagoner led the most successful country music television show of its time, and in 1967 he needed a new "girl singer." He turned to a 21 year old songwriter named Dolly Parton, who'd just recorded her first hit "Dumb Blonde." So began a nearly decade-long partnership that, behind the scenes, was as contentious as it was commercially successful." Revisionist History – "Revisionist History returns to fast-food's high-tech test kitchens. This time the subject is cultural appropriation. The case study is Taco Bell. Oh, and Pat Boone is involved." Scattered – "When Andres asked the Cuban government for permission to leave the country in 1969, he got a letter with a set of instructions." Larger Than Life – "Big Willie Robinson was an L.A. underground legend who used street racing to heal a city torn apart by racial violence. Along the way, his exploits touched Hollywood, the Southland's most notorious gangs — even the Los Angeles Times. It was his childhood in segregated New Orleans and a stint in the military that set him on a path to become larger than life." Hunting Warhead – "How do you take down a criminal network that's hidden in the shadows? How do you rescue child abuse victims who could be anywhere in the world? Hunting Warhead follows the journalists and police on a global mission to expose the darkest corners of the Internet. What they discover shocks them."
