H20: The Molecule that Made Us WEDNESDAYS AT 8PM BEGINS APRIL 22
H20: The Molecule that Made Us is a landmark, three-part series that tells the human story through our relationship to water. We find out how our success is intimately connected to our control of the molecule, but that the growth of our civilizations has also created a dangerous dependence on a precious resource. One that may be about to run out.

Pulse opens on the distant rock and ice of Greenland, where Geologist Stephen Mojzsis reveals a new theory on how water first arrived on Planet Earth. We see a dragonfly’s incredible journey from India to Africa—the world’s longest insect migration. We meet the Munoz family, ‘bloom chasers’, who use cutting edge time-lapse photo rigs to show the rare spectacle of deserts around the world exploding from barren wastelands into rich carpets of flowers. But the pulse of water is under threat.
Civilizations turns our ‘water lens’ on human history. In the jungle of the Congo in Africa, we see a hint of one provocative theory of evolution—did we learn to walk in water? Starting in Ancient Egypt, it charts the critical role water plays in history, and around the world we see the birth of civilizations on the banks of the great rivers: Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, Indus and Yellow. The question is raised, can we guarantee water supplies that are needed for future existence?
The last episode of this series, Crisis, will air 8pm Wednesday, May 6.

Fish Between the Falls Ten thousand years ago Kootenai people painted pictures of white sturgeon on the rocks above the lake where they lived. These fish were an important part of the tribe’s diet and the inspiration for their elegant sturgeon-nosed canoes.

But the people whose culture is bound up with these fish and the people who control the river today are working together to restore the Kootenai River white sturgeon to their ancestral home.

Fires of Faith EASTER SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 12 11AM
If the martyrs who brought the King James Bible into existence could still talk to us today, they would most certainly tell the tales of international politics, intrigue, subversion, bloodshed, fire, and the runaway libido of King Henry VIII that were the backdrop of its creation. These stories, along with a modern, scholarly perspective of the 16th century book, are presented in BYUtv’s Fires of Faith: The Coming Forth of The King James Bible, a series of films which celebrate the 400th anniversary of one of the most enduring pieces of writing in the history of humanity.

Samantha Brown’s Places to Love New Season begins on MontanaPBS-Create April 1 WEDNESDAYS 8:30AM, 3:30PM & 8:30PM For more than 17 years, TV host and two-time Emmy Award-winner, Samantha Brown has been exploring all four corners of the world, visiting more than 260 cities in 62 countries, sharing her adventures and introducing new cultures to viewers. Unlike a traditional travelogue show with a formulaic itinerary, Places to Love delivers decidedly refreshing and enriching travel experiences by taking viewers on a discovery of the emotional heart of travel and highlighting the people who are changing, challenging and strengthening a destination. From Brooklyn, New York and Monterey, California to Shanghai, China and Donegal in Ireland, Samantha seeks out the little-known spots and haunts where innovators and disrupters are creating a brand new travel experience.
