While remaining civil is not always easy, hate and fear are neither the natural nor necessary responses to difference. Nevertheless, we get triggered, sucked into an argument we didn’t see coming, propping one set of facts up against another with neither side listening, and eventually wondering what the hell just happened.  We can come together again, though. Participating in a non-judgmental conversation on matters of importance gets us started. LEAPFROG presents the combined wisdom of many on how to be heard -- and how to hear -- without judgment. That's when the magic happens.

Just when her life felt right: new home, new career, new grandchildren, Janet Givens leaves it all behind and, with her new husband, joins the Peace Corps. Assigned to Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country finding its own way after generations under Soviet rule, she too must find a way to be in a world different from what she knew and expected.

Will it be worth it?

A nuclear threat to New York City, and the clock ticking -- not what Kimmie signed up for.  But she's smart and feisty. She stops flirting with Tom and takes on the terrorists. It's a race against time to save Manhattan.

The President gives Charles and Louise the job of capturing Zoltan Kmedjzik – a war criminal responsible for an ethnic cleansing campaign. He’s holed up in a cave on a mountainside above a Serbian village. They capture him with the help of a remarkable eight-year-old girl and the U.S. Marines, but it doesn’t end there.

When the President gives Charles and Louise a bizarre assignment – to embarrass the President of France – their search for a scandal sends them to Kazakhstan, where they use their peculiar talents in “dirty tricks” to tie Le Président to a drug ring and a terrorist plot. But before they can carry out their assignment, they’re kidnapped and left to die on the frigid Kazakh steppe.

The US President sends the couple to the Netherlands to harass a terrorist cell living in a houseboat — a woonboot. There, Charles and Louise use their unusual talents to sow seeds of doubt and confusion in the group.
