P.O.V.: Flute Player

PBS, 10 p.m.

Adopted by U.S. aid worker and Lutheran minister Peter Pond, former refugee Arn Chorn-Pond has overcome boyhood horrors in which Cambodia's Khmer Rouge killed his whole family and sent him to a slave labor camp for children. There the pitiless communists spared him from execution only so he could play their political tunes on a flute. In recent years he has returned to post-communist Cambodia to rescue the few surviving musicians there from destitution and help them preserve their country's traditional music. Advisory: inspiring for adults but too disturbing for children.

Contraception: Why Not?

EWTN, 5 a.m., 10 p.m.

Children are a gift from God, says Dr. Janet Smith, echoing Scripture, yet too many Catholic couples and some clergy still do not trust him and admit contraception is sinful. Birth control often acts to abort new babies, not prevent them. Smith notes that, before 1930, all Christian denominations called contraception evil. She urges everyone to read Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae (On the Regulation of Births) and see what it really says. The Holy Father praised married life and made predictions, since fulfilled in spades, that contraception would harm souls, worsen social evils and lower public morality. Smith reminds us that openness to children makes marriages happy.
