Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed "Gurus of How-To," tackle the nuts and bolts of home repair. Call 212-267-9692 with your questions. Then, filmmakers Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman discuss what happened when children of prostitutes in Calcutta were given cameras to document their lives: "Born into Brothels". Next, two Magnum photographers, Steve McCurry and Alex Webb, discuss their approach to capturing stories on film. And Mike Leigh tells us about his latest film, "Vera Drake," in which the title character cleans houses for the wealthy, while secretly performing abortions on working class women in 1950s England.
