Lord of the Ants

Naturalist E.O. Wilson's fascination with little creatures has led him to some very big ideas.

At age 78, E.O. Wilson is still going through his "little savage" phase of boyhood exploration of the natural world. In "Lord of the Ants," NOVA profiles this soft-spoken Southerner and Harvard professor, who is an acclaimed advocate for ants, biological diversity, and the controversial extension of Darwinian ideas to human society.

War Dance

"War Dance," a feature-length documentary, tells the story of three children from the Patongo displacement camp in northern Uganda:

• Dominic, a former abductee and child soldier of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)
  
• Rose, who witnessed the gruesome murder of her parents by the rebels
  
• Nancy, who kept herself and two younger siblings alive in the bush for a month after the LRA killed their father and abducted their mother
