Featured Series Diary of Anne Frank 294x150 MASTERPIECE CLASSIC The Diary of Anne Frank A Jewish teenager hiding from the Nazis pours out her heart to the only true friend she has left: her diary. Sunday, April 11th at 8:00 p.m. on PBS-HD.

Adapted by Deborah Moggach and drawing on Anne Frank’s actual words to a greater extent than any previous dramatization, “The Diary of Anne Frank” stars newcomer Ellie Kendrick (An Education) as Anne, a typical 13-year-old at the outset of the film, at odds with her mother, interested in boys, clothes, her appearance, and intrigued by her unfolding sexual development.

The MASTERPIECE production co-stars Iain Glen as Anne’s optimistic and unflappable father, Otto, and Tamsin Greig as her mother, Edith, who sees with clear-eyed horror the fate that may await them all. Felicity Jones plays Anne’s older sister, Margot, a quiet and obedient girl, who throws herself into her studies to keep from going mad.

Together with four others, they hide for two years in the back rooms of an Amsterdam business, while Anne records their tense daily life in one of history’s most remarkable memoirs.

Anne’s housemates noticed was that she threw herself into her writing with uncharacteristic seriousness and discipline. What her diary and journals held they couldn’t imagine — nor could the Nazi officer who unceremoniously dumped the seemingly mundane notebooks onto the floor, to be abandoned and later rescued for posterity.

Preview PBS Buddha THE BUDDHA
Two and a half millennia ago, a new religion was born in northern India. Wednesday, April 7th, 8 p.m. on PBS-HD

The religion was generated from the ideas of a single man, the Buddha, a mysterious Indian sage who famously gained enlightenment while he sat under a large, shapely fig tree. The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on earth. He said only that he was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, had found a kind of serenity that others could find, too.

This documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin tells the story of his life, a journey especially relevant in our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion. Richard Gere narrates.
