Tue Dec 15th, 2009 @ 9:00 pm FRONTLINE presents the epic story of the rise of Christianity. Drawing upon new and sometimes controversial historical evidence, the series transports viewers back two thousand years to the time and place where Jesus of Nazareth once lived and preached and challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about the origins of Christianity. Program 1 traces the life of Jesus of Nazareth, exploring the message that helped his ministry grow and the events that led to his crucifixion around 30 C.E. The film then turns to the period that followed Jesus' death, examining the rise of Christianity and concluding with the first revolt-the bloody and violent siege of Jerusalem and the beginning of a rift between Christianity and Judaism. The broadcast explores new evidence suggesting that Jesus' followers, because of their diversity and the differences in their cultures and languages, looked at and interpreted Jesus and his teachings in many different ways.

In Afghanistan today, in the midst of war and endemic poverty, an ancient tradition -- banned when the Taliban were in power -- has re-emerged across the country: many hundreds of boys, often as young as 10, are being lured off the streets on the promise of a new life, many unaware that their real fate is to be used for entertainment and sex. They're the "Bacha Bereesh," literally "beardless boys," chosen for their height, size and beauty, trained to sing and dance for male audiences, and then traded for sexual favors among former warlords and powerful businessmen. With remarkable access inside a sexual exploitation ring operating in northern Afghanistan, Najibullah Quraishi, an Afghan journalist investigates this illegal practice, talking with the boys and their masters, and documenting how Afghan authorities responsible for stopping these crimes are sometimes themselves complicit in the practice.

In the beginning, well before the bank failure that sent the country into full-scale financial meltdown in the fall of 2008, there were warning signs at Lehman Brothers that went unheeded. FRONTLINE traces the largest bankruptcy in history back to the late 1990s when the venerable Lehman Brothers bank decided to do business with a dubious mortgage lender who was being sued for fraud. Through insider interviews, internal documents and exclusive video, FRONTLINE reveals how Lehman Brothers ignored warnings from its own traders as the company entered into mortgage and real estate business, and how this played out disastrously for Lehman Brothers and the country. The film also follows a group of middle-class families in Marin County, California, fighting foreclosures in the aftermath of Lehman's failure.
