I expect it will be on at 10:00 PM no matter what time zone you live in. Lucky Still_Boreas gets to have the most advance warning!

My local CBS station does not have it listed for tonight. Will keep looking.

I think that's because it's airing on CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

I do wish we could see it here in the states, though.

Sorry, CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, not the Columbia Broadcasting System (better know as CBS in the U.S.). If you can access the international version of CBC it might be on there.

Hopefully, we Canucks can give you a synopsis once we've seen it.

Some more info on the doc:

NAKED
Airing Thursday December 1 at 10pm ET/PT
Repeating Tuesday December 6 at 10pm ET/PT

Disrobe for dissent, calendars for causes, nudes against nukes. A new phenomenon with old roots is gaining momentum -- busting out, peeling off, and hanging loose, all around the globe.

From Europe to Australia, people of all ages are stripping off their clothes to send messages via the media: "Peace! No Bush! We'd rather go naked than wear fur!"

Since 2001, over 50,000 people have participated in at least 90 nude protest events around the world. At the same time, the “Calendar Girls” of Rylstone, England rocked the world of charitable donations by posing as pin-up girls. These middle-aged moms raised over a million dollars for leukemia, demonstrating what a bit of cheek can do for a cause.

Naked is a thought-provoking and humorous one-hour documentary by Mary Bissell about people who use nudity to affirm their values and fight for their beliefs. From anti-war nude protestors in Marin County, to nudist bicyclists in North Carolina and breast cancer survivors in Calgary, this show reveals the political reasons beneath the very personal act of taking it all off.

I saw "Naked" last night! It was a good and insightful documentary about going naked for a good cause! Very entertaining program.
