Theyre always bitches. They are all tough, merciless, selfcentered. Its fundamentally true. Logan beverly and Dereck Joubert have made more movies about lions than anyone alive. Theyve documented some of the most dangerous and memorable moments of africas big cats. They told us what keeps them in the bush after all these years is the thrill of making new discoveries, like their contribution to the discovery of these waterloving super lions. Their physique started to change. You could see that they were getting huge pectoral muscles and huge necks. These lions were at least 15 larger than any other lions we had been working with.

From td ameritrade. Pelley the things that were thankful for tend to come from people who devote their lives to something greater than themselves. Many folks come to that devotion late in life, but Craig Kielburger discovered it early. He was in seventh grade when the death of a boy changed his life. It was a change so profound that, through kielburger, it has now saved and transformed other lives all around the globe. In that moment, 17 years ago, Craig Kielburger was struck by a profound truth something as important as changing the world cant be left to grownups. Craig kielburger kids are looking to get involved. Theyre. Theyre searching for it. And in an era where, you know, adults often are looking for meaning and purpose in their lives, kids also want to assert who they are, not just by the video games they play or the peer groups they belong to, but by the contribution they make. And thats part of a youth self identity in the world. And not only is it good for the child, my god, our world needs it. Pelley Craig Kielburger was a child when he noticed the needs of the world. As a 12yearold in canada, he read about the murder of a boy his age in pakistan. Iqbal masih was a slave in a carpet factory. Masih escaped to lead a campaign against servitude. But within two years, he was silenced. Kielburger put down the newspaper and rose to speak. Kielburger were talking about labor and the exploitation of children. Pelley he made iqbal masihs fight his own. He talked to classmates, to congress, to parliament. To call him precocious is an understatement, as our own ed bradley found out in 1996. Bradley but what made you think you could do something about it . Kielburger originally, i didnt think i could, really. But the only way were going to ever find out is try. So after doing some research, i just walked to my classmates and said, listen, i read this article. Heres a problem. This is what i know which, at that point, was not very much and asked, who wants to help . Pelley turned out 11 friends wanted to help. With no money to start with, no wealthy parents or early backers, they met in his living room and started a charity called free the children. Bradley why you . Kielburger why not . If. If everyone in the world could say, why me . Then nothing ever would be accomplished. Why me . Because ive met those children. Because ive seen them. Because i read the story of iqbal masih. Why not me . Pelley in the 1990s, kielburger wanted to free children from slavery. So he went to asia, recruiting activists and government authorities to bust child sweatshops and sex traffickers. There were early successes. But when we went overseas with kielburger, he told us freeing children was much more complicated than he had first imagined. What are some of the things that didnt work out . What have you learned . Kielburger you know, probably the lowest moment ever was the first time in southeast asia, when we met children who we had freed before who are back in slavery. To see that some of those same kids would end up back in the same grinding, backbreaking, desperate poverty, there is nothing that makes your heart fall more than that. Pelley kids he freed were being pulled back into servitude, years later, by centuriesold culture and traditions shaped by poverty and illiteracy. At the point that you saw that your original big idea wasnt working, why didnt you throw in the towel . Kielburger there were points where. Frankly, where there was a frustration, anger, and maybe a slight desire to throw in the towel, but never a consideration of it seriously. Because that first trip i took before i sat down with ed bradley and that first 60 minutes episode that was a turning point in our lives that first trip, i made promises to a lot of kids there that, at that time, there was almost nothing that free the children could do in practice. We didnt have schools and projects and offices around the world, and the only thing i could promise them at that point was that i would share their stories with whoever would listen. And i just wouldnt give up. And when you make a promise, you have to fulfill it. Pelley the way to keep that promise, he decided, was to attack hardship and ignorance, the very roots of slavery. Today, free the children is in 45 countries, a 30milliona year charity building schools, providing clean water, and connecting local craftsmen to World Markets where their traditions bring in good money. There are two million volunteers, nearly all of them under the age of 18. Kielburger so free the children today is the Worlds Largest network of children helping children. So what that means, in practice, is we inspire kids. Then, we give them all the tools they need to learn about these issues speaking tours, summer leadership camps, curriculum every week. Our bet that were making is, if you give kids the inspiration and the tools to change the world, itll change their own lives also in the process. And the Ripple Effect is incredible. Are we ready for we day . We are pelley you can feel that ripple in the free the children celebrations that kielburger calls we day. He does as many as nine of these a year, and when we came to this one in vancouver, there were 20,000 kids. Pelley we days feature acts like nelly furtado. Pelley . Jennifer hudson, and lectures by activists, including Nobel Peace Prize winner desmond tutu. But listen to what happens when kielburger takes the stage. cheers and applause kielburger we day isnt just a day; we day is a movement, a movement that happens all year long. Pelley kielburger is joined on stage every we day by his older brother marc, who manages the financial side of free the children. Marc kielburger . Just like you coming together and taking action. Pelley when we see in the stadium all those faces of all those kids, how did they get there . Craig kielburger you cant buy a ticket to we day. Any kid can earn their way in for whatever cause they care about half local, half global. And theyre there. These are kids who have done, you know, bake sales and car washes and volunteered at Retirement Homes and local support lines, and theyve started their own charities, and when they leave, they bring that inspiration. We day is just the beginning. I need the one with the chocolate chips. Pelley we followed that bake sale money back to st. Anns school in bridgeport, connecticut. Free the children recruits through schools, almost turning them into chapters of the global organization. There is so much trouble in the world. Magdalena dukowska yes. Pelley when we met 11year old Magdalena Dutkowska and 12 yearold joey hopkins, they were headed to kenya, inspired by their first we day. Dukowska we day is like the biggest thing in the world. Its like the greatest event that could ever happen, and so its just all these important people coming to one day to one event to talk about how we can change the world. Craig kielburger when a child donates their birthday money, there is an incredible responsibility that comes with that to make sure. We have kids who have walked up to us and handed us a piggy bank. There is such a responsibility to make sure that money gets to where its supposed to go. Pelley when the bake sale money comes in and the Piggy Bank Money comes in and you count that up, whats it come to . Craig kielburger well, you know, the average kid probably gives, you know, somewhere between 1, maybe 5, maybe 10. Over the course of a school, thats maybe 1,500 around. Pelley so, how do you. How do you save the world on that kind of money . Craig kielburger oh, that adds up to millions and millions of dollars, tens upon tens of millions of dollars every year for our projects. A penny is almost like a kid people walk past pennies all the time and ignore them, think they. Theyre insignificant, kind of like kids. You dont really think twice, can they really make a difference . But when you bring enough young people, enough kids together, then suddenly, those kids can change the world. Pelley and this is one of the places that kielburger set out to change, the masai mara in kenya. The mara offers nearly every wonder of east africa. The traditions of the masai people are rich, but their access to water and education is among the poorest in the world. Joey hopkins and Magdalena Dutkowska raised enough money back in connecticut to join other volunteers to build a new classroom here. Each year, 2,400 kids lend their hands overseas. Over the last ten years, 130 schools have been built in kenya. This one was finished in 2010. Now, 91 students are enrolled, among them sharon, naiomi, faith and marcella. Sharon, let me start with you. What does this school mean to you . Sharon it means a lot to me, because, at first, i could not even talk to people like you now. I did not understand english well. But now, this school has helped me a lot to know more english and gain more confidence. Pelley how long have you been in this school . Sharon one and a half years. Pelley youve learned this much english in one and a half years . Sharon yes. Pelley thats amazing. How many of you think youre going to go to university . Everybody. And now, a University Education will be open to more students because, after three weeks here, a new classroom was built by the kids of free the children. With two students at each desk, this classroom will hold about 50. singing pelley at the end of the project, the masai honored magdalena and joey with a celebration and a traditional gift. Joey hopkins i was just standing there with my goat that they gave me. I was just like, wow. Our. Like, we did this and we gave this new education to these kids, and now they are so grateful for it. Pelley what are you going to do with the goat . Hopkins well, i havent seen my goat in a while, actually. So i miss it, but. Im going to have to leave it here in kenya. Pelley leave it here . Dont you think your mother would like to have it back in connecticut . Hopkins i wish she would, but we cant even have a dog, let alone a goat. Pelley what are you going to tell the kids back at school about the experience here . What do they need to know . Hopkins what they need to know is that poverty is a real thing, and starve. Kids starving, like, that are five or four years old is a real thing; that not everyone in the world can just go downstairs, turn on the tap, and get a glass of water; and that not everyone has a proper education. And that you should really be thankful for the things you have. Pelley by the time they cut the ribbon, it was hard for us to figure which kids had gained the most. The kenyans got a new classroom, but it was the American Kids who learned they can be the change in the world. Cbs money watch update sponsored by good evening.

Stahl the new York City Ballet is americas largest and, some would say, finest Ballet Company in the world the dancers are like the new york yankees in tutus and tights. They are artists and athletes at the same time, and it is a marvel to see them up close, as you will tonight. Most of them are home grown in the u. S. A. Full disclosure i am a big fan, and even served on the board of the new York City Ballet, which was founded in 1948 by the great choreographer george balanchine. He revolutionized classical dance and ushered in a golden age as ballet master of the company. Now, at a time when many cultural institutions are under stress, we went behind the scenes to see how this company is keeping this elegant art form alive. The dancers at the new York City Ballet epitomize the beauty, athleticism, the seeming effortlessness, and the grace of classical ballet. applause saving it from becoming a dying art form has fallen on the shoulders of this man, Peter Martins, ballet master in chief of the new York City Ballet since 1983. Peter martins and. Stahl martins teaches and trains. Martins . Advance forward. Stahl hes one of the companys top choreographers. He oversees fund raising and marketing. If the ballet were the yankees, hed be both the general manager and the coach. Martins thats good. Stahl but when he first took the helm, just about everyone thought the ballet could not survive the loss of george balanchine. How hard was it to be the ballet master after the great genius of all time . What kind of a burden was that . Martins i felt an obligation, if thats the right word, to try to take care of all the things he had done and hed created. That if you didnt really commit yourself to preserve and protect, itd fall apart. I thought, you know, somebody has to devote their life to this. Stahl and so he has. Hes managed not only to bring the company into the 21st century, introducing new choreography, more than any other company in the world, he has also succeeded in sustaining the legacy of the great balanchine. What better person to preserve balanchine than one of his favorite male dancers . Mr. B brought martins to new york from the royal danish ballet. And he became a star, linked romantically to one ballerina after the next. People used to go to the ballet just to see him. But balanchine believed martins great value was showcasing his ballerinas. Martins i took great pride in making her look better. It appealed to me. Stahl you once said you didnt even like performing that much when you were the big star. Martins yeah, i did not. It was not my great thing. I think it was sort of a strange shyness. You know, when you walk out of that wing, and you know theres 2,500 people looking at you, like, dont look at me. Stahl how interesting for a performer. Martins maybe thats why i liked to be behind the girl. Stahl but being behind the girl didnt always mean that martins liked the girl. You once said about ballerinas, theyre always bitches. Theyre all tough, merciless, selfcentered. Martins i was probably young when i said that. Stahl well. Martins i would be a little more moderate now. But its fundamentally true. Stahl but to be good enough to dance for Peter Martins company, a ballerina has to be driven and toughminded. Martins the great challenge for a ballet dancer is to show the beauty and grace of ballet without showing the effort. One. Stahl and for virtually all of the dancers in the company today, that challenge started at the nearby school of american ballet. Martins you guys are very good. Thank you. Martins youre very good now, but be careful not to be mechanical. Know what i mean by that . A little more elegant. You dont want to go like this. But you want to be on the music. One, two, three, four, five, six. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Okay, good luck. Stahl all but nine of the 83 dancers in the company are american, from all over the country, and all of them have now been handpicked by Peter Martins. Martins look at this. Nice. Stahl they go to class every morning, where theyre drilled in the balanchine technique, which is fast and a little off kilter. Martins a little faster. Stahl they rehearse every afternoon, often with martins working them and himself hard. And then, they perform at night. Theyre at it more than eight hours a day, making them as fit as top athletes of any sport. Martins thats right. We all cannot lose touch with the difficulties of mastering classical ballet to the extreme utmost beauty. It is such an impossible task. You will never attain it, and we know it. But you have to strive for it. Stahl new York City Ballet, whose home is at lincoln center, is the mother ship for ballet in america. There are nearly 150 companies around the country, many of the larger ones run by alumni from here. But classical dance is suffering, and so is the temple of balanchine, with attendance down considerably from his day. The audience is graying; young people tend to see classical ballet as stuffy and inauthentic. But theres a lot of interest in dance. We have dancing with the stars. People are watching more dance on television. Martins right. Right. Stahl but not ballet. Martins i have a theory. Stahl whats your theory . Martins because the soviet union fell. The greatest popularity ballet had probably in history was when. With russian defectors. When baryshnikov and nureyev defected, it gave it a mystery. When baryshnikov danced for the new York City Ballet, we had soldout houses all the time. Stahl the russian defectors made ballet part of the cold war; going to see them was going to see heroes. So whats martins doing now to bring those big audiences back . Martins ladies and gentleman, can i introduce you to sir Paul Mccartney . applause stahl if anythings going to attract a new crowd, itll be a beatle. Martins commissioned sir paul to compose the music for a new ballet that he choreographed. Paul mccartney the most exciting thing for me personally was seeing the dancers start to bring the whole thing to life. You know, its kind of goosebumps time. Its like, whoa. Stahl we were there when he came for a rehearsal of oceans kingdom, a fairy tale about two lovers separated by an evil king. Mccartney people kiss in ballets . They do . Its okay then. laughs stahl Opening Night on stage, theres the fairy princess and the evil king with his henchmen. Its a night with leaps of fantasy and a happy ending, sort of. applause you go to Paul Mccartney, which was partly to bring in a new audience, and youre criticized for it. Martins did you think that i thought i wasnt going to be . Stahl did it work . Martins oh, it packed the theaters. Absolutely, it worked. Stahl but the critics oh, my god. Oh, my god. I mean, heres what some critics said about the mccartney piece. That it was a gimmick, and that you were just pandering to the audience to bring him in here. They say that your ballets are unemotional and unexciting. Martins so . Stahl it hurts. Martins when you say hurts, that would suggest that you always think that they know better, that they know what theyre talking about. What matters really is what you think. Stahl balanchine said that ballet is woman. Martins well, he preferred women, but he knew he needed us. Stahl promoting the male dancers is part of martins push to woo young people with his own young dancers, like 25yearold Robbie Fairchild who, the night we were there, was making his new york city debut in balanchines masterpiece, apollo, a role martins made famous. Fairchild has wanted to perform it since he was the only boy in his ballet school. Robbie fairchild i came from utah, so god help you if you told people you did ballet. And i got, like, you know razzed for it. But its kind of, if you love something so much, no matter how. How much someone teases you for it, youve got to follow it. Stahl moments before the curtain went up, robbie was still rehearsing for his performance in apollo. Fairchild terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. I had a year leading up to this moment, just thinking about this role. Its the one thing i was like, god, i want to do that so badly. Stahl apollo is a physically demanding role of jumping and leaping, and it calls for strength and stamina. After 20 minutes of nonstop exertion, robbie gets his first break backstage and collapses. Fairchild you come off, you have to just basically fall asleep for the little chance you have, so that when you got back, you can have as much as you can. panting stahl you looked as though you didnt have another ounce left in you. And then you got up and went out, and looked fresh, looked calm. Fairchild i think i have to make myself go in a complete opposite of how i feel. cheers and applause thanks, guys. Martins you did beautiful. Fairchild thank you very much. Martins you did really beautiful. Fairchild thank you. Stahl but two minutes later, martins is correcting his performance. Martins you just need to show. If its like this, it doesnt show much. Fairchild that i can do. Martins just a little bit. Fairchild thank you very much. Martins you did beautiful. Fairchild it was a lot of fun. Stahl you could see it on your face. You were just so pleased, and pleased for him. And two minutes later, youre correcting something he did. Martins well, its my job. Stahl no, but here he did this brilliant thing. Martins you mean i could have waited till the next day . Well, this is. Thats a good point. But its what i do. Now, well see. Stahl what he does is push his dancers, worry about the future of ballet, and occasionally take a bow. Martins doesnt mean were perfect every night. But god, look at the dancers. Look how often we dance. Look at the pleasure we give to 2,500 people every night. Theres a lot to be proud of.

Tl logan dereck and Beverly Joubert have spent more time filming and living among lions in the wild than anyone alive today. The discoveries theyve made over 30 years of filmmaking have challenged conventional wisdom about africas big cats. Theyve made more than 20 films for National Geographic, where they are explorers in residence. They live in botswana, in the heart of southern africa, a country about the size of texas. The jouberts often go long stretches without seeing another human being, but they made an exception for us, and allowed us to join them in a wild place they call home. Their films are known for these spectacular cinematic moments. But what distinguishes their work is their belief that all the animals have untold stories, which they bring to life in their films. To get to the jouberts, we flew to this remote landing strip, but we couldnt land until these wild baboons were cleared from the runway. There she is. Hi, lara, its nice to meet you. How are you . Logan it didnt take us long to discover why they decided to make Botswanas Okavango Delta their home. This is one of the last untouched places on earth, a labyrinth of watery channels and rolling savannas that are home to some of africas most beautiful creatures. But it was the lions that drew the jouberts here, and for most of their lives, they have lived among these animals, making some of the greatest wildlife films ever made. Dereck joubert weve spent thousands and thousands of hours with them. Weve spent more hours with lions than weve done at university, school, with either of our parents. So this is our family in many ways. Logan dereck does the filming and writes the scripts for their movies. Beverly records sound and takes pictures; shes a worldclass photographer. Each film takes years to make. They followed this lioness they call ma di tau for seven years, and they made a movie about her called, the last lions. Today, ma di tau, mother of lions, earns her name as protector of her young. Logan the film told the moving story of her battle to survive alone with her three cubs. Beverly joubert one thing that we have learned, and its been a hard lesson, is that we can never predict what is going to happen. Dereck joubert first of all, a cub was taken by a crocodile. And then later on, sadly, another one was injured. Logan stampeding buffalo had badly wounded the cub. Just as any mother would, you see ma di tau go over to it. She tries to take it with her. But theres nothing she can do, and her survival instincts take over. Dereck joubert when we filmed it, i sort of said to beverly, lets just cover this, because well never use this. This is too. Too sad, and too. Beverly joubert too traumatic at the time. I mean, its too traumatic for us to even witness it. Logan tell me about that moment. Beverly joubert it broke our hearts in so many ways, because we knew that it was hopeless. I mean a little cub dragging its body, a broken back. What. What could she do . Dereck joubert she was struggling with what we can only assume is emotions and coming to terms with it. Because after that, she blinks, she. She swallows, she looks around. And then she steps away from her cub for the last time. Logan dereck and beverly took us deep into the delta to see the lions. First, we had to cross this bridge, which you cant see because its mostly underwater. Beverly joubert think of crossing this at 4 00 in the morning in wintertime. Logan and its pitch dark. Beverly joubert and its pitch dark. Logan the channel is full of crocodiles. Dereck joubert and its about four meters deep here, so if we tipped in now, we would lose the vehicle. Logan and how safe is this bridge . Dereck joubert no, its not too good, ay . Logan water has claimed three of their trucks already. And out here, their vehicle is everything. Its where they work and often sleep, staking out the animals for months at a time, waiting for those rare moments that make their films so memorable. They have no doors and no protection. Dereck joubert weve been charged by lions a lot, but theyve never scratched us. Logan what is it liked to be charged by a lion . Dereck joubert its fairly dramatic, you know. Weve had some where they come out of nowhere, and its roaring and. And fiery eyes and right in your face and flared up manes and kicking dust all over you. Very dramatic. Logan they told us they never want to influence the lions natural behavior, so they usually try to keep their distance. But as we found, you never really know whats going to happen. Beverly joubert shes coming to us for shade. Yep. Shes lying in our shade. Logan as dereck leaned down to get a closer shot. Dereck joubert can someone hang on to my belt . Logan . His camera was staring straight into the young lions face. Dereck joubert its rare. We almost never get this top angle. Logan it takes you years, huh, to make these movies . Dereck joubert takes us forever. And its slowly piecing together good scenes and good opportunities like this, unusual angles, and just getting to know the lions well and understanding what they do. Logan theyve been searching for stories in the african bush since they were in their 20s. Early on, they decided to concentrate on documenting lions at night. For the next 15 years, they worked in the dark, and what they documented changed what we know about these wild animals. Beverly joubert the night opened up a veil of what was happening, and nobody had ever seen that in africa before. Logan they filmed these bloody nighttime battles between lions and hyenas, images that inspired the producers of the lion king and shattered the myth that hyenas were just scavengers. Dereck joubert and we were finding exactly the opposite. A lot of the time, hyenas were making the kills, and the lions were rushing in and scavenging from. From the hyenas. Logan in the middle of another hot summer night, they documented Something Else that surprised the scientific world. Beverly joubert all of a sudden, i saw eight lions just move forward. Dereck joubert it was a spectacular scene. Logan a pride of lions attacked this fully grown elephant. elephant trumpeting Dereck Joubert wed never seen an elephant this size being attacked by lions. Halfway through the sort of elation of. Of us, bleary eyed, saying, were capturing something amazing here, i heard her start to say, come on, get up. Beverly joubert get up. Dereck joubert now. Get up now. So she started to root for the elephant. Beverly joubert yeah, the compassion towards that elephant, you know, i was filled with it. And i was just rooting for her. Dereck joubert i say that death begins in the eyes. And weve seen this so many times with animals where they. They give up hope. Beverly joubert and all of a sudden, you saw her swing her body and she rocked and rocked. And she fought for her life. She truly did. She pulled herself up. Dereck joubert and forces through, goes through that wall and survives. And. And then she charged off into the darkness. Logan they still film at night when they need to, but most of the time, they work long days that begin before dawn. Their refuge is their home, this tent sitting in the middle of nowhere, looking out over the delta. Its what they call their paradise. It doesnt get better than this. No, youre right. No, this is fantastic. Beverly joubert this is our bedroom. Dereck joubert this is our bedroom and office, and sort of Research Area as well. Logan wow, its beautiful. Dereck joubert so yeah, this is largely where we spend our time. Logan okay, so im being nosy now do you have a bathroom back here . Beverly joubert we have a bathroom. Its not necessarily what you would be used to. Showering and bathing with nature all around you is just truly fantastic. Logan dereck and beverly have been together for 36 years, and most of the time, theyre within about three feet of each other. Dereck joubert you know, we wanted to go out into africa. And we fell in love, and we fell in love with that lifestyle and with this place. And that means together, not separately. And i think thats, in many ways, what defines us. Logan they told us what keeps them going after all these years is the thrill of making new discoveries. They were among the first to discover and document these large lions some call super lions, whove learned how to live and hunt in water. It was thought that lions hated water . Dereck joubert yes, exactly. And rightly so. Weve filmed lions in other areas that, after a rainstorm, they put their paw in and they hate it. They. You know what cats are like. Logan but not here . Dereck joubert but not. Not in duba. And so we saw these lions swimming in deep, you know, just getting their noses out. Beverly joubert their physique started to change. You could see that they were getting huge pectoral muscles and huge necks. These lions were at least 15 larger than any other lions we had been working with. Logan its not only lions they film. They spent three years following this leopard, and captured one of the most extraordinary moments in wildlife filmmaking. This baby baboons mother had just been killed by the leopard. Instead of killing the baby, the leopard cared for it throughout the night, trying to keep it alive. Dereck joubert but another example of a scene that. That we were able to capture that nobody had ever seen before, nobody had ever heard about before, and is almost unimaginable. Logan before you documented it, no one would have believed that was possible. Dereck joubert i think that, very often, when we Start Talking about the things that weve filmed, we do get pushback from some scientists saying, thats impossible. And thankfully, then you. You show the film and it advances science in many ways. Logan today, they feel an urgency to do more than make films.
