Suplex
Some of my favorite courses in film school were those that explored how each culture around the world has approached television and film in a unique way. From Paul Verhoeven to Nicolas Winding Refn, cinema and television in Denmark has always distinguished itself with bold, daring stories that challenge viewers with striking visual language. We have a healthy handful of cutting-edge Danish shows in our WETA+ exclusive Dramas from Around the World collection, and now, we have one more! In the idyllic town of Vesterlov, a young wrestler's brutal murder shatters the community. Coach Lars becomes the prime suspect, while his wife Charlotte is entangled in an affair with the investigating police chief. As buried secrets surface, a town's facade crumbles under the weight of its hidden truths. From Walter Presents, in Danish with English subtitles, watch now on WETA+ with PBS Passport!

Need to Relax?
WETA has always been my go-to for hard-hitting investigations and gripping stories that grapple with history and explore the human condition. However, every once in a while, I just want to unwind. Thankfully, WETA+ makes it easy to switch gears and find the sights and sounds that help us recenter and relax. From soothing music on Austin City Limits, to stunning nature shows like Chesapeake Bay by Air and Life from Above, to creative masterclasses with Bob Ross and Julia Child, the Need to Relax? collection has something for everyone.

Women's sports are on the rise! From middle school field hockey to professional basketball, women and girls pushing their limits to achieve athletic excellence are earning more interest, recognition and investment than ever before. It took a lot of hard work from a lot of brave people to bring about this situation: parents, athletes, coaches, organizers, officials, sponsors and advertisers. One such person is Coach Rob Selvig of the University of Montana. Learn about him, the women's basketball program he spearheaded and the courageous young athletes who he helped to give a chance, when you watch Playing Like a Girl now on WETA+ with PBS Passport!
