In the past 15 years, Hedrick Smith Productions has produced more than 40 hours of prime time miniseries and individual documentary programs for PBS. Our topics have ranged from Gorbachev's perestroika, global economic competition and the Washington power game, to such social issues as the quality of American health care, combating teen violence and hate crime, tensions between work and family and the state of American education.

Since 1990, Hedrick Smith Productions has established its trademark for high quality programs on PBS that not only provide insightful analysis of current issues and problems but solid case studies that show people solving these problems, such as Making Schools Work.

Correspondent Hedrick Smith and his production team have also created eight programs for Frontline on PBS, most recently Inside the Terror Network, Bigger Than Enron, The Wall Street Fix, Tax Me If You Can and Is Wal-Mart Good for America? Two other special productions on jazz greats include Duke Ellington's Washington and Rediscovering Dave Brubeck.

Our productions have won numerous prestigious awards including an Emmy, three Emmy nominations, two duPont-Columbia Gold Batons, the George Polk Award, the public service award from the journalists' society Sigma Delta Chi, the Sidney Hillman Award, five CINE Golden Eagles and various film festival and international honors.
