Mexico, THE BALLAD OF JUAN QUEZADA
A potter brings a village back to life
FRONTLINE/World reporter Macarena Hernández travels
to the Mexican state of Chihuahua to meet the man who brought
fame and prosperity to Mata Ortiz, his rural village. As a young
boy, 40 years ago, Juan Quezada discovered ancient painted pots
in a cave in the rugged hills near his home. Quezada toiled
to recreate the pottery methods of the Paquime Indians, a culture
that died out centuries ago. After becoming an international
pottery star, Quezada trained others in his village. Now, Mata
Ortiz is home to several hundred master artisans, and Quezada
is a local hero. read

PRESS REACTION
Timing
In the news business, there's timing and then there's Timing. You do a story, and before it gets published or broadcast, the wind beneath its wings dies out. OBE it's called -- Overtaken By Events. But once in awhile, events coalesce to give your story added punch. "Frontline/World" has a show tonight that fits the latter category big time: a tough-minded look at whether Iran is developing nuclear weapons and, if not, why that country appears to be playing such hide-and-seek games with United Nations nuclear inspectors...Kenyon is the British equivalent of the young Geraldo Rivera when the latter was aggressive, smart, and unafraid to take his camera where others dared not go. In other words, before celebrity made him bigger than the stories he covers. "Going Nuclear" provides top-notch reporting.
--Tony Perry, The Los Angeles Times
One of the World's Most Pressing Security Questions
With access to a U.N. inspection team on a tour of Iran's most sensitive nuclear sites, BBC reporter Paul Kenyon sheds new light on the state of Iran's nuclear weapons program and the growing suspicions of inspectors.
--Frazier Moore, The Associated Press
FRONTLINE/World offers a first glimpse into the U.N. inspection team examining Iran's nuclear sites. BBC reporter Paul Kenyon gets the first interview with Chris Charlier, the Belgian nuclear scientist and senior member of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
--Roger Catlin, The Hartford Courant
