Rise
In the midst of Russia’s ongoing conflict, Ukrainian families are mourning the loss of their loved ones. Correspondent Scott Pelley embarks on a journey of recovery and resilience as he joins a group of widows and children of the war on a mountain climb in the Austrian Alps. This expedition is organized by a charity founded by an American marine who is still finding his way after serving three combat tours in Iraq. The bereaved families, who traveled 1,300 miles after their city was bombed, come together on this expedition, offering hope, community, and teamwork as they navigate their grief. This segment is a double-length feature, with Oriana Zill de Granados and Michael Rey as the producers.
Sealand
Correspondent Jon Wertheim takes viewers on a unique journey to the Principality of Sealand, the world’s smallest and most improbable state, located just off the English coast. This tiny nation, roughly the size of two tennis courts, has a full-time population of one. It was originally constructed during World War II as a nautical fort and later transformed into a “pirate radio” station ruled by the Bates family. Wertheim explores the intriguing history of this micronation, including piracy, coups, countercoups, and rogues. Michael Gavshon is the producer.
Ancient Vines
Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, a region considered by scholars as the birthplace of wine. Alfonsi delves into the deep-rooted history of winemaking in Georgia, where vineyards have survived thousands of years of invasions, wars, and communist rule. She visits the lush wine region of Kakheti to meet with monks dedicated to protecting these ancient vines and an American vineyard owner committed to introducing Georgian wines to the global market. This is a double-length segment, and Ashley Velie is the producer.
