Challenge
Air - Once a year at Fort Lauderdale Executive
Airport, disabled children are given the opportunity to
meet and fly with "wheelchair aviators" - pilots
who have learned to fly in spite of their own physical
disabilities.
The Face of
Hunger - How do `the hungry` portray hunger? While
most of us have used the phrase `I’m starving!`....we
have no idea how that would really feel. New
Florida takes a look at some powerful photographs
taken by the poor and the needy of our community, through
an innovative program whereby 150 disposable cameras were
distributed to working poor families, in order to put a face
on the suffering.

- New Florida meets
Captain Honk, an artist who creates beautiful fish assemblages
out of recycled materials.
Alligators Among
Us - It’s hard to believe that the American
Alligator was once considered "endangered." Here
in Florida, alligators are an industry: farms breed gators
for their meat & hides, roadside attractions bait tourists
with the promise of live alligator wrestling shows, and private
trappers stay busy wrestling "nuisance" gators
from golf courses and retaining ponds. New
Florida takes a look.
Florida Home – Part
1 - After World War II, Florida's population boom
led to a real estate boom, luring a new breed of architects
to the region. New Florida looks
back at an exciting era of residential architecture, when
fresh ideas and indigenous materials combined to form a new
tropical definition of the Florida home. In this first part
of our two part series on the Florida Modern Home, we will
tour houses designed by Rufus Nims, Alfred Browning Parker
and Igor Polevitsky, South Florida's most prevalent post-war
modern architects.
