    This week, excerpts from two of our previous episodes. Our first excerpt, from Connie and Pedro, is a personal story of crossing the border and protecting the border. Our second excerpt, from The Two Proms of Carlos Kotkin, follows a young man's rite of passage and two proms -- ten years apart. Finally, an excerpt from the Dutch documentary, The Lonely Funeral, about two friends -- a poet and a civil servant -- who attend funerals of people who have died alone. (Click on the links to learn more, see pictures or listen again to the full episodes.)
