WASHINGTON & BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“The Global Learning Series” is an education-focused, issue oriented program distributed to public television stations nationwide in the United States and globally to Voice of America Television. “The Global Learning Series” has recently provided 11 documentaries to the United States governments’ International Broadcasting Bureau and Voice of America Television.

These documentaries are educational programs that broach diverse topics like energy from the wind, rare marine life, endangered habitat and ecosystems, trends in aviation, to more emotional issues like hemophilia in children. The next collection of documentaries will include important public awareness stories ranging from; a recently shot story at Duke University concerning some common side-effects of surgery, the issue of obesity in children and the “new Physical Education” being taught(shot at a school in Iowa), a compelling story about managing vital information to prevent and manage breast cancer-the second leading cause of death in women(shot at a women’s breast clinic in upstate New York), to a story about the importance of keeping heavy metals out of the environment by recycling.

“We are confident that Voice of America Television and the global community will enjoy all of these as well as the new ones that will be produced and sent to VOA every 2-3 months. We are very honored to partner with International Broadcasting Bureau and Voice of America Television by providing these educational documentaries for their programming needs, said John McGuire, Senior Producer of Programming for “The Global Learning Series.”
