Advocates for indigenous Circassians are protesting the 2014 Winter Olympic games after Russia failed to acknowledge the genocide that happened in Sochi in the 1880s. We'll find out more about a dark chapter of Sochi's history.

Then, Human Rights Watch reports on a village near Sochi that's gotten a raw deal out of Olympic development, and we'll bust an EcoMyth about caring for wild animals during harsh winters.
