After decades of relative stability, the U.S. energy revolution is beginning to shift the dynamics of the energy market. Once dependent on the Middle East for much of its energy, the U.S. is now producing more of its own—potentially freeing America to pursue a new foreign policy in the region. Narrated by Academy Award nominated actor David Strathairn and produced by the Foreign Policy Association, GREAT DECISIONS brings you eight half-hour documentaries, each tackling a different challenge facing America today.

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book, watching the video series and meeting in a Discussion Group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today.
