PBS has a new project, promoting the "Half the Sky" movement spearheaded by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Exploring the many environmental restraints that shackle women throughout the world, the book and DVD investigate micronutrient malnutrition and iodine deficiency. See the trailer.

Kudos for PBS. This isn't its first advocacy. See several of its Rx for Survival series: Malnutrition, A Simple Solution (Oral rehydration) and Global Health Champions-Fazie Hasan Abed.
