Bring Them Home / Iniskim Bring Them Home / Iniskim are two short films that were shot simultaneously on the 2016 fall Blackfeet buffalo drive. Bring Them Home is an intimate documentary about the only indigenous tribal-led buffalo drive in North America. It follows members of the Blackfeet Nation as they experience the power of the American bison while driving their herd through rough terrain and hostile weather to their winter pasture — a rare ritual of stewardship that brings hope for a modern-day cultural rebirth. Iniskim is a fiction film inspired by a true story that follows a young Blackfeet girl’s journey from trauma to recovery. By reconnecting with the ancient power of the buffalo, the timeless landscape of her ancestors, and the wisdom of her culture, her life is changed forever. Iniskim features original music by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and a script co-written by Daniel Glick, Craig Falcon, Lauren Monroe, and Sarah Clarke. It stars 2019’s Miss Blackfeet, Alia Heavyrunner. Both films were made possible in part by the Big Sky Film Grant. Airs 5/14 12:30pm

Writer Amy Tan’s hit debut novel, “The Joy Luck Club” (1989), catapulted her to commercial and critical success, spending over 40 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. With the 1993 blockbuster film adaption that followed, which was selected for the National Film Registry in 2020, as well as additional bestselling novels, librettos, short stories and memoirs, Tan firmly established herself as one of the most prominent and respected literary voices working today. Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Oakland, California in 1952, it would be decades before Tan would come to fully understand her mother’s battle with suicidal tendencies. However, this legacy provides Tan an inexhaustible well of creative inspiration, and her work has made her a global icon for Asian Americans.

George Sunday is Thermoman, from the planet Ultron, dashing from one catastrophe to another as he juggles two jobs: superhero and health-food shop owner. It is hard to know which causes him more problems — diverting meteorites or pretending he is just an ordinary guy. George’s girlfriend, Janet Dawkins, and their quirky neighbors, co-workers, and Janet’s relatives, are nothing compared to George’s attempts to figure out life on planet Earth.

Vaccines explores the history and use of vaccination, from early practices in Africa and Thomas Jefferson’s clinical trials, to the first anti-vax protests in the 19th century and COVID-19 today.
Fact-based research and analysis evolved out of the 19th century science of epidemiology and cholera mortality reports, where the now ubiquitous “curve” of an epidemic was first documented.

Knowledge of how to produce safe, effective drugs and distribute them quickly around the globe now underpins work to find treatments for COVID-19.
The simple act of handwashing saved lives in the 19th century, and facemasks and lockdowns were used to combat the Spanish flu 100 years ago.

The Queen at War SUNDAY, MAY 23 8PM Also 5/25 1am
Princess Elizabeth was just 13 years old when World War II broke out. Together with sister Margaret, the young princesses became symbols of hope for a nation wracked by a horrific war, the terrors of the Blitz and the relocation of over a million children. By 1945, Elizabeth had been transformed from a shy girl into a confident young woman and proved her mettle as a driver and mechanic in the women’s branch of the army. The longest-reigning monarch in British history — and the only current head of state to have served in the military during World War II — Queen Elizabeth’s life and character were shaped by the challenges of war. Like many other English children, she was often separated from her parents, sent to ride out the frequent bombings in the relative safety of the countryside.

Donkey Hodie New Series
PREMIERES MONDAY, MAY 3RD AIRS MON – FRI 4PM Also airs Sat, Sun 9am, beginning May 8, and on MontanaPBS HD Mon-Fri 10am, beginning May 3
In every episode, Donkey Hodie, a sweet, yellow donkey with a magenta mohawk, along with her pals, Purple Panda, Duck Duck and Bob Dog, empower preschoolers to dream big and overcome obstacles in their own lives, to work hard and persevere in the face of failure, to be resourceful and discover they are capable of solving problems on their own—and to laugh themselves silly along the way. Donkey Hodie is inspired by the quirky, funny side of TV pioneer Fred Rogers and his mission to help young viewers navigate the challenges of childhood.

Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten MONDAY, MAY 31 8PM
One of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history occurred 100 years ago, May 31-June 1, 1921. Known as the Tulsa Race Massacre, a mob of white residents set fire to “Black Wall Street”—hundreds of Black-owned businesses and homes in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma—killing an estimated 100-300 Black residents and leaving an estimated 10,000 Black residents homeless. Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten, examines this deadly assault on the 100th anniversary of the crime in the context of other racial massacres and police killings, including the one-year anniversary of the killing of George Floyd.
