At IPM, we spend a lot of time and effort asking Friends to make an annual contribution to sustain us through the fiscal year. But some charitably-minded, tax-savvy Friends have planned gifts in their wills and estates that will sustain the WILL stations over many years—even into perpetuity. Some Friends made planned gifts that have helped WILL purchase new broadcast technology, maintain our purchase of British programming, and provide internship opportunities for students. Carefully planned charitable gifts can benefit WILL and reduce the tax burden on your estate. It’s an interesting gift to consider. My colleague Jeff Roley, associate vice president for Gift Planning and director of Planned Giving Marketing at the University of Illinois Foundation, provided the following for those that want to give: • A simple “payable on death” (POD) form is available at banks and brokerages firms to leave all or part of your account(s) to individuals and/or charities. POD bypasses your will or trust AND avoids probate. • If keeping your estate private or speeding up its settlement for heirs is important to you or if your estate is large and composed of many different types of assets, you should consider a living trust. • You should consider charitable estate gifts from an IRA instead of your will or trust because your heirs will pay income tax on assets they receive from your IRA, but IRA assets pass taxfree to charities like the University of Illinois Foundation/WILL. • If you have an estate gift in place that will establish an endowment after you’re gone, you can donate the future endowment income now for current tax savings and get the benefit of seeing your support at work. If you would like to give to WILL on a long-term basis, please contact Danda Beard, director of Development, at 217-333-9393. Thank you,

“be inspired to care, while there is still time” America, and Oceania—to chronicle his experiences.

Most days, Sartore has the best job in the world: in the premiere episode of RARE, prankish semi-habituated lemurs playfully crawl over him at Madagascar’s Lemur Island rehab center, during one of his easiest photography shoots. Others are more challenging: as no amount of tasty, tempting raw carrots can persuade a 500-pound, 150-year-old giant tortoise to stand on his mark or get ready for his close-up. But Sartore perseveres, as he knows he is in a race against time. Sometimes he is able to photograph 30 to 40 species in a few days. Others are disappearing before he can get to them. RARE looks at factors driving extinction, including deforestation, rising sea levels, invasive species, pollution, and human development, all impacting creatures essential to the world’s ecosystems.
Renowned National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore is a natural-born storyteller. His Photo Ark project is a digital collection of the world’s animals and the focus of RARE—Creatures of the Photo Ark. This captivating new three-part series, produced by WGBH Boston, follows Sartore as he documents threatened species at zoos, in nature preserves, and in the wild. Throughout RARE, scientists and naturalists reveal surprising and important information about why ensuring the future of these animals is so critical.
In nearly 40 countries, Sartore has photographed 6,395 species, including:
Photo: Joel Sartore
Author, conservationist, and National Geographic Fellow, Sartore’s Photo Ark will be one of the most comprehensive records of the world’s biodiversity. Through RARE, audiences can journey with Sartore across the globe—to Africa, Asia, Europe, North
“Fifty percent of all animals are now threatened with extinction, and it’s folly to think we can drive half of everything else to extinction but that people will be just fine,” says Sartore. “That’s why I created the Photo Ark. I hope seeing the images fills people with wonder and inspires them to want to protect these species.”

The PBS Summer of Adventure continues
Wild Kratts in the Alaskan wild
With some of the largest areas of wilderness left on Earth, Alaska is the best place in the world to see the huge animals and top predators in all their glory. The series explores the challenges of preserving America’s last frontier, as scientists, filmmakers, photographers, and other experts gather there to tell some of the planet’s extraordinary wildlife stories. The three-part series visits points near Juneau and the Tongass National Forest, the vast Kenai Fjords National Park, and the wilderness of Katmai National Park.

Beth Hoppe, chief programming executive and general manager, general audience programming, at PBS, said, “The beauty of America’s most remote state is awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping; it’s the true meaning of wilderness. Nature lovers, adventurers, and families alike can follow the action live on TV, online, and on their mobile devices throughout the week, to catch every exceptional moment. This immersive event is not to be missed.”

Wild Alaska Live is hosted by brothers Chris and Martin Kratt, the creators, executive producers, and stars of the hit PBS KIDS series Wild Kratts. Wild Alaska Live will air at 7 pm Sunday, July 23 and 30, and 7 pm Wednesday, July 26.
Join Geoffrey Baer in Weekend in Havana at 7 pm Tuesday, July 18. Baer, known for his walking tours of Chicago, now travels to Havana, Cuba, to present a viewer’s guide of his walking tour of the capital city. Baer is welcomed by dancers, musicians, architects, and writers that invite him into their lives to experience the color, culture, and history of a beautiful and seductive city only recently re-opened to Americans. The special features Afro-Cuban jazz pianist, composer, and producer Roberto Fonseca, a Grammy-nominated musician that recently released his eighth album, Abuc, that explores Cuban music both past and present. It also includes flamenco dancer Irene Rodríguez, a prima ballerina in the Ballet Español de Cuba and a specialized professor and reggiseur of first level and choreographer.

On the move
Nature’s Great Race follows three groups of animals—caribou, zebra, and elephants—as they face the immense challenges of migration in places around the world. Captured in real-time, using the latest satellite-tracking and filming technology, the program gives unparalleled access to the great obstacles facing each individual herd, from treacherous terrain to merciless predators, as they risk danger and death in a race for their lives. In breathtaking spectacles spanning Canada, Alaska, and southern and eastern Africa, the documentary gives a front-row seat to the ultimate test of survival for each of these animal groups, showcasing their journeys more intimately than they’ve ever been seen before–each fraught step captured in unprecedented depth and detail.

A country’s collapse Co-director and narrator Obaidah Zytoon, a Damascus activist and radio broadcaster, follows her friends, a close-knit group of millennials. Beginning with peaceful Arab Spring protests in 2011, the documentary takes a four-year, ground-level look at how the country spiraled into bloody civil war. The Last War airs July 3 and depicts scenes of resistance and destruction throughout the country. The film is, in part, about the power of the camera, not only to record events, but to prompt them, says Zytoon. “The regime’s biggest fear was those who held cameras, so they were the first to be eliminated… (we) seemed like salvation for the people. But it was also a source of danger.”

The first ones in
Last Man in Aleppo premieres July 10. Syrian filmmaker Feras Fayyad’s breathtaking work is a searing example of bootson-the-ground reportage and follows the efforts of the internationally recognized White Helmets, an organization comprised of ordinary citizens who are the first to rush towards military strikes and attacks in the hope of saving lives. Incorporating moments of both heart-pounding suspense and improbable beauty, the documentary draws us into the lives of three of its founders—Khaled, Subhi, and Mahmoud— as they grapple with the chaos around them and struggle with an ever-present dilemma: do they flee or stay and fight for their country.

By day, Samantha Montgomery cares for the elderly in New Orleans. By night, she writes and sings her own songs as Princess Shaw on her confessional YouTube channel. Little does she know that her fiery-red hair and soulful voice have captured the attention of Kutiman, a video artist 7,000 miles away on an Israeli kibbutz. Montgomery’s bubbly, can-do spirit and Kutiman’s quiet genius come together in Presenting Princess Shaw on July 17, which offers a heartwarming look at the power of music, both as therapy and as a magnetic force bringing together wholly different personalities and worlds. The film follows the pair’s parallel stories, as it cuts between Montgomery’s struggle to make it big in music and Kutiman’s secret plans to make that happen.
Family secrets

Filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo suspected that there was something ugly in her family’s past. Memories of a Penitent Heart excavates a buried conflict around her uncle Miguel, who died at a time when AIDS was synonymous with sin. As she searches for Miguel’s partner decades later, the film— both a love story and a tribute—offers a cautionary tale of how faith can be used and abused in times of crisis. Combining a wealth of recently discovered home movies, video, and written documents with artfully shot contemporary interviews and vérité footage, the film airs July 24.
Surviving the Holocaust
Two films will premiere on July 31. In the Oscar®-nominated Joe’s Violin, a donated musical instrument forges an improbable friendship between 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Joe Feingold and 12-year-old Bronx schoolgirl Brianna Perez, proving that the power of music can bring light into the darkest of times, and that a small act can have a significant impact.

Illinois Issues Forum focuses on budget impasse
s Rosanna Marquez, President Killeen, Jim Edgar, Chris Mooney, and Brian Moline
Illinois Public Media and NPR Illinois hosted an Illinois Issues Forum on the state budget impasse. Illinois residents who have been directly impacted discussed the burden placed on their community.
The panel discussion included former Illinois governor Jim Edgar, University of Illinois president Tim Killeen, Director of the U of I Institute of Government & Public Affairs Chris Mooney, and President of Illinois AARP Rosanna Marquez. The panel took questions from audience members for about 90 minutes and heard from Champaign-Urbana social service providers affected by the nearly two-year budget impasse. Courage Connection Executive Director Isak Griffiths spoke about the impact on her agency, the only service provider to domestic violence victims in Champaign-Urbana. Support for this event was provided by AARP. You can listen to the entire forum at will.illinois.edu/news/story/listen-champaign-budget-forum.
