This Week on MNN: A Shift in Perspective
This week on MNN we explore new ways of looking at the world around us, as “The Facts” explores friendship through a futuristic lens, “Gotta Run with Will” helps to turn goals into reality, and “GingerNewYork” is inspired by earlier decades. Later in the week, “Democracy Now!” brings you D.C. coverage of the inauguration and the following day’s protest march. Plus, remember to tune into the Youth Channel each weeknight!
