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 another 8 documentaries to the United States government’s International Broadcasting Bureau, Voice of America Television.

These documentaries are educational programs that broach diverse topics like 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). They include 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), a story about the importance of keeping heavy metals out of the environment by recycling and gastrointestinal health programming shot at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The next collection of documentaries will include important public awareness stories ranging from an emotionally compelling look at the importance of women being checked for cervical cancer as well as other public service announcement style programming about mysteries surrounding the brain and the human heart, with a look at migraines and the need for managing triglycerides.
