Current TV's signature series, "Vanguard," one of television's most celebrated news programs, will return for a highly anticipated fifth season of thought-provoking investigations beginning Monday July 4th at 10PM on Current TV.

Seven insightful new installments of "Vanguard" will explore a variety of global issues with broad social significance: the role of prescription pain killers in fueling a surge in heroin addiction, Big Tobacco's efforts to target a young new generation in the Third World, the decimation and impending disappearance of the Bluefin tuna and Brazil's efforts to clean up their "favelas" (slums), among others.

Launched in 2008, "Vanguard" has become one of the only multi-award winning long-form investigative documentary series on cable television. Its programming has showcased and provided in-depth perspectives on notable issues such as immigration, the drug trade and the environment. Committed to traveling to locations around the world, its correspondents include Adam Yamaguchi, Christof Putzel, and Mariana van Zeller. Nominated for five Emmys, the series has become one of the most celebrated news programs in the United States, receiving prestigious awards for journalism including the Livingston Award, the Prism Award, the DuPont Award and the 2010 Peabody Award and the 2010 Television Academy Honor.
