“Sons of Perdition” (Doc-Club)
The 2-hour documentary will give us all an inside peek at “Sons of Perdition”. This film will delve into the lives of 3 teenage boys following their escape from a Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound located on the Utah, Arizona border, which happens to be the oldest polygamist community in the US. Without family, money, education or any real support, these teens try to make sense of their lives and surroundings.
“Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal”
This intense series focuses on couples that have had infidelity in their marriage and survived. They share their personal stories as a therapist tries to provide guidance on how to be able to move on and heal. Reminding us that love can endure. This show should be really useful for providing couples with tools on how to deal with infidelity in their relationships. Hopefully it will open up conversations and remind us all of how fragile relationships can be if we don’t take care of them.
“The Dr. Laura Berman Show”
OWN Network’s show, “In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman” is bringing sex, intimacy, body image, and erectile dysfunction into our lives….giving words and conversation to things that make us blush and turn away. However, she does it in a REAL way that makes us watch, learn and understand. With over 20 years of experience as a sex educator, researcher and therapist, Dr. Berman shares tips with couples as they try to uncover what’s really going on between the sheets and in their relationships.
“Finding Sarah”
Being royal has its perks, but life can’t always be easy…especially if you are the Duchess of York. Anyone who knows anything about the Royals, knows of Sarah Ferguson. A constant in the royal news, Fergie, as many refer to her, joined OWN for this incredible docu-series. Finding Sarah tells of the Duchess’ great emotional struggle to rebuild her life.
“Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind”
This series gives the viewers a glimpse inside the world’s most iconic innovators and their creative process…allowing us to get inside their heads. With only 5 episodes, be sure to catch them all! The series debuts with filmmaker Tyler Perry on June 17th. Each week will be followed with a new guest. This season’s guests will include: filmmaker Tom Ford, director/writer James Cameron, musician will.i.am, and photographer Annie Leibovitz, as each reveals their challenges, rewards and personal experiences. This unique show provides the viewer with “unique insight into what made these visionaries who they are and what continues to inspire them.”
“Ryan & Tatum: The O’Neals”
Ryan O’Neal and his daughter, Tatum, have their differences and are sure to have their share of drama on OWN. Hopefully this won’t be a trainwreck like most reality shows and will stay true to the docu-series feel of past series.
“Carson Nation”
In this show, Carson Kressley (“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” alum) takes his sense of fashion and styleand travels across the nation transforming people “one town at a time”. Each town will have its own adventures, stories and people….all of which will make these “make-betters” even more dramatic and emotional. SO for those still sporting the stir-up leggings, crazy animal prints and BIG hair, you may want to think twice about stepping outside. No telling where Carson will be!
