Robert Redford focuses on a globe-spanning group of 'social entrepreneurs' in the documentary series 'The New Heroes.'

Believe it or not, there are people who don't think that the only way for Silicon Valley and Hollywood to get together is through technology.

Jeff Skoll, the billionaire former president of eBay, and actor Robert Redford have teamed up for projects designed around philanthropy and filmmaking. One of the results - 'The New Heroes,' a documentary series for PBS - gets a national unveiling starting today and debuts locally at midnight on July 1 on Channel 17, repeating at 9 p.m. July 7."
