60 Minutes: Season 55, Episode 3

55 - 3: Olena Zelenska | What Happened at Grizzly Flats | Captain Kolisi

Olena Zelenska – Following months of the catastrophic war in Ukraine and news of Vladimir Putin's declaration of annexing occupied Ukrainian territories (a violation of international law), 60 MINUTES' Scott Pelley meets First Lady Olena Zelenska in the capital of Kyiv. Zelenska, a trained architect and former comedy writer, speaks of the transformation of her country and herself. 

What Happened at Grizzly Flats – 60 MINUTES' Bill Whitaker visits the rural community of Grizzly Flats in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, almost wiped out in one of the worst wildfires in California's history. A year after the fire, angry residents are demanding answers from the U.S. Forest Service, whom they blame for letting a small fire get out of control and become a catastrophe. Through Freedom of Information Act requests and eye-witness testimony, Whitaker seeks to uncover what happened in those crucial first days of the Caldor fire. 

Captain Kolisi – Correspondent Jon Wertheim profiles South Africa's first Black rugby captain, Siya Kolisi, whose team, the Springboks, won the 2019 Rugby World Cup. For a century, the Springboks have been a symbol of the nation's oppressive white minority rule. In post-apartheid South Africa, Kolisi is keenly aware of the challenges of transforming the team. Wertheim follows Kolisi's long and unexpected road to rugby glory as he uses the sport to help bind a country still riven by inequality and racial divisions.
