Jefferson's Blood
For years there existed a rumor that Thomas Jefferson had a long-standing relationship and several children by Sally Hemings, a woman who was his slave. Now, DNA tests all but prove the rumor true. An early hero of the anti-slavery movement, Jefferson wrote brilliantly of the corrupting influence of slavery on blacks and whites alike. Yet it is now apparent that he lived a dual life, sharing his house with his white daughter and grandchildren while his unacknowledged mistress and his children by her worked in the same house as slaves. In a personal essay, FRONTLINE correspondent Shelby Steele examines Jefferson's life and follows the descendants of Jefferson and Hemings as they undergo DNA testing, search out their family history, and try to sort out their place along America's blurred color line.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.
Nightsleeper
Nightsleeper is a thriller in which a train is 'hackjacked' while travelling from Glasgow to London, and suddenly finds itself on an uncertain journey with an even less certain destination. Part fast-moving heart-in-the-mouth action-adventure and part twisty-turny whodunnit detective story, it's a roller coaster ride set across a single night where no-one is ever quite who they seem.
Leading the fight are Joe Roag, an off-duty police officer who is a passenger on the train, and Abby Aysgarth, the acting technical director at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). To stop the train, they'll have to work out exactly who's behind this. But are they fighting a hostile state, a terrorist organisation, or organised crime? Who is the self-styled 'Driver' who seems to be one step ahead of their every solution?
As Abby and Joe - who have never met in person - try to establish a bond that will withstand everything the night throws at them, will Joe's fellow passengers help or hinder their desperate efforts? Could one of them even be involved? Who can Abby and Joe really trust?
FBI
FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These first-class agents, including Special Agent Maggie Bell and her partner, Special Agent Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan, bring all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.
