10TH ANNIVERSARY PLEDGE EVENT

Class C: The Only Game in Town  Airs 7pm Monday, March 5 Also 3/7 1am; 3/10 1:30pm

Join MontanaPBS as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of this documentary in a live pledge event. Class C follows five basketball teams from Montana’s smallest schools on their journey to win the state championship.

The feature-length documentary tells the story of a changing rural America and the girls who carry hope and heartbreak onto the basketball court. More than half of Montana’s high schools have fewer than 130 students. These schools compete in their own athletic league, which is known as Class C. During the cold winter months, Class C fans pack gymnasiums. Lonely miles of snow drifted gravel roads and two lane highways evaporate with the roar of the crowd.

The film reveals that forces beyond the court influence the dramas played out in every game. Agricultural decline, school closure, racial conflict and teen pregnancy shape the fortunes of each team as much as any coaching strategy or star player. Small towns face the hard realities of modern rural life and success on the court takes on a new significance. As Coach Dustin Gordon from Chester, Montana explains, “Communities live and die through these kids.”

Glacier Park’s Night of the Grizzlies On the night of August 12, 1967, grizzly bears in Glacier National Park killed two young women and severely mauled one man. For everyone involved, it remains an unforgettable night of crisis, intense fear, bravery and, ultimately, grief. This dramatic and tragic story, and how it eventually influenced the fate of the grizzly bear in the continental United States, takes center stage in the historical documentary. Archival material, photographs, re-creations and gripping on-camera interviews with survivors, witnesses, family members, journalists and biologists, provide a complete account of those events.

C. M. Russell and the American West Charles M. Russell is an overshadowed American artist. Contemporaries like Remington and Winslow Homer are more celebrated. This film places Russell, and his very personal and unique version of Western Art, in the canon of great American artists.

Russell is a significant historical figure who gives us a look at what the 19th century was like­in the open range frontier. His vantage point, knowledge and influence extended into the 20th century and the beginning of the era of “Hollywood Westerns.” While Russell’s artistic works reveal what he saw and knew from this era, his illustrated letters to everyone from Douglas Fairbanks to Will Rodgers are truly an exceptional way to examine our Western heritage.

 I Got the Cream 3/2 noon; 3/6 7pm; 3/8 1am; 3/17 noon

At age 16, Charles M. Russell leaves his home in St. Louis to make his way as a cowboy in Montana.

 Sum of the Parts 3/6 8:45pm; 3/8 2:45am; 3/9 noon; 3/17 1:45pm

Charlie Russell gives up his spurs and lariat for brushes and paint.

 My Medicine is Strong Now 3/13 6:59pm; 3/15 1am; 3/16 noon; 3/17 3:30pm

The American Indian point of view often dominates Russell’s canvases while he helps Hollywood build the myth of the West on film.

The Beatles in Washington DC, February 1964.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years  Airs 8pm Saturday, March 3 Also 3/4 10:30pm; 3/7 11:30am

This program is based on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962–1966)—the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. The film explores how John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to become this extraordinary phenomenon, “The Beatles.” It reveals their inner workings—how they made decisions, created their music and built their collective career together—all the while, exploring The Beatles’ extraordinary and unique musical gifts and their remarkable, complementary personalities. The film focuses on the time period from the early Beatles’ journey in the days of The Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966.

The Beatles began touring Europe in late 1963, after an extraordinary arrival on the British scene in 1961 and ‘62. However, it was their much-heralded “Ed Sullivan Show” appearance on February 9, 1964, that caused The Beatles’ popularity to explode.

By June, the band had commenced their first world tour, and continued on a relentless schedule for two subsequent years. By the time the band stopped touring in August of 1966, they had performed 166 concerts in 15 countries and 90 cities around the world. The cultural phenomenon their touring helped create, known as “Beatlemania,” was something the world had never seen before and laid the foundation for the globalization of culture.

Butte miners, 1940s.

Butte, America  Airs 7pm Sunday, March 11 Also 3/13 1am

As the title suggests, the Butte story is inseparable from the story of America. The town contributed mightily to the industrialization of the country during the 20th century, helping build the world all Americans live in today. Besides the constant dangers underground, the people of Butte weathered a massive fire, strikes, mine shutdowns, health and environmental problems and finally, the bulldozing of long-established neighborhoods to make way for open pit mining. As other once-great American cities see jobs and industry disappear—and with it, established communities that generations have called home—Butte, America’s relevance extends far beyond the towering mountains of western Montana.

Narrated by actor Gabriel Byrne, the epic story of the rise and fall of Butte is told through the people that forged this tightly-knit community: the miners and their families, people who were initially immigrants from Ireland and England but who eventually represented nations from across Europe (signs in the mines were written in 16 different languages). Theirs is a tale of hardship, fleeting joy, pride and community, hard-won and ever in peril; a camaraderie born of danger where every day in the mines could be the last. An urban-industrial island, surrounded by ranchland and wilderness, Butte was home to one of the largest corporations in the world: the Anaconda Copper Mining Company.

Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers, posed and ready to swing.

Jackie Robinson This two-part, four-hour film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon tells the story of an American icon whose life-long battle for first class citizenship for all African Americans transcends even his remarkable athletic achievements. “Jackie Robinson,” Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “was a sit-inner before sit-ins, a freedom rider before freedom rides.”

 Part 1 airs 8pm Monday, March 19,

Also 3/21 1am, 4am Robinson’s tremendous baseball skill, strength of character and insistence on equality made him the perfect choice for the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers in his search for a black player with the talent and fortitude to integrate Major League Baseball. He faced slurs, threats and abuse, as fans and managers taunted him, pitchers threw at his head, and runners tried to spike him, but he suppressed his natural instinct to fight back. Despite the torments and pressure, Robinson performed spectacularly.

 Part 2 airs 8pm Tuesday, March 20

Also 3/22 1am, 4am In 1949, Robinson led the Dodgers to the World Series for the second time in three seasons and won the Most Valuable Player award. He also began to speak out, arguing calls with umpires and challenging opposing players. His outspokenness drew the scorn of fans, a once-adoring press, even his own teammates. He was accused of being “uppity,” a “rabble-rouser,” and urged to be “a player, not a crusader.”

It’s the first day of Summer Vacation and The Cat in the Hat whisks Nick, Sally and Fish off on the greatest great outdoor camping adventure ever! Our gang gets back to nature as they hike through the Fickle Fern Forest, camp out overnight, trek over Mt. Weewobble and canoe down the Tickle Drop River....just in time for Fish to meet up with his family for a grand reunion. Along for the ride are Little Cats A, B and C, who discover there’s wonder in nature once their electronic devices are powered off! Nick and Sally help keep the Little Cats out of trouble, while Fish tries to keep his jacket pressed and the mud out of his fancy fishbowl...all while getting up close to some of nature’s most awesome sights, and learning how best to respect them. After being lulled to sleep under the stars by a chorus of animals, the morning brings fresh adventure with a spectacular race up Mt. Weewobble, complete with a cliffhanger ending!

Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking, Season 5  Airs 4:30pm, 7:30pm and 1:30am on Sundays through Fridays, March 1-15 on MontanaPBS Create Hosted by award-winning Australian chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Pete Evans, this program takes viewers on a culinary journey, combing flavorful ingredients, top chefs and beautiful locations for the ultimate dining experience. In season five, Pete offers a unique culinary experience with an overseas trip to Italy and France. He visits the towns of Bologna, Parma, Modena and Turin, where he tastes the local prosciuttos, cheeses, and vinegars from the region. He also tours a medieval castle and the farm estate of Antica Corte Pallavicina, home to chef Massimo Spigaroli, one of Italy’s top salumi producers and the great-grandson of a farmer who cured hams for opera great Giuseppe Verdi. Then it’s over to France where Pete and his team travel from the salt flats near Arles, up through Provence and Dijon to Paris. Along the way, he stops at Château d’Ancy-le-Franc, a lavish Renaissance palace which houses one of the largest collections of mural paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries. Back in the U.S., Pete heads to the West coast and travels north from San Luis Obispo to Carmel, California and continues up through to Washington state to experience the wines and the bountiful produce that the area has to offer. Afterwards, it’s off to Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico for an authentic taste of the Southwest.

Patients in Waiting News and public affairs producer, Beth Saboe, hosts this series providing in-depth coverage of issues that matter to Montanans.

Part 1 Airs 7pm Thursday, March 29

Montana is ailing from a chronic shortage of doctors and mental health providers. In such a rural state, the lack of physicians means patients must often drive hundreds of miles for medical care. What’s being done to recruit and keep more doctors in rural areas?

Part 2 Airs 5:19pm Saturday, March 24;

7:10pm Thursday, March 29; 7:25pm Friday, March 30 Also 3/25 10:21am; 3/31 2:55am

SHUTTERSTOCK

News & Public Affairs producer Beth Saboe examines the extreme shortage of mental health services in Montana. Except for Yellowstone county, the entire state is considered a mental health provider shortage area and recent statewide budget cuts could further cripple people’s access to vital services. Without help, where will patients dealing with mental health issues turn?
