COURTESY OF RACHEL ROBINSON

Jackie Robinson This two-part, four-hour documentary directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon, tells the story of Jack Roosevelt Robinson. Born in 1919 to tenant farmers in rural Georgia and raised in Pasadena, California, Robinson challenged institutional racism long before he integrated Major League Baseball. As a teenager, he demanded service at a Woolworth’s lunch counter and refused to sit in the segregated balcony at a local movie theater. In 1944 while serving in the U.S. Army, Robinson was arrested after he defied an order from a civilian bus driver to move to the back of a military bus. He was found not guilty. In the spring of 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey signed Robinson to a major league contract. To help ensure the success of their endeavor and protect the big league prospects of future African-American players, Robinson agreed to ignore the threats and abuse that Rickey assured him he would face. That season, Robinson kept his word, remaining silent while he dazzled fans with his brilliant play and helped lead the Dodgers to the National League pennant. In 1949, Robinson began to speak out and he played some of the best baseball of his career, winning the National League MVP award. Despite his accomplishments on the field, his outspokenness drew criticism across the league, and when he retired in 1956, many were happy to see him go. After baseball, Robinson continued to use his immense fame to elevate the civil rights movement to improve the lives of African Americans. “Jackie Robinson,” Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, was “a sit-inner before sit-ins, a freedom rider before freedom rides.”

Kynan Dutton, Craig Cobb, and Deb Henderson patrol their neighborhood in Leith, North Dakota. INDEPENDENT LENS

Welcome to Leith  9pm Monday, April 4 Also 4/6 1:30am Leith, North Dakota, is home to 24 people, mostly farmers and ranchers living on a prairie backdrop of sky and wheat. In 2012, an outsider named Craig Cobb moved in and started buying up property. Residents initially welcomed the bearded stranger, figuring he’d moved to be closer to the oil fields, but Cobb had other motives. Posting racist online forums that he’d found the perfect place to start an all-white enclave, Cobb implored other white supremacists to move to Leith and helped take over the town’s government. Ryan Lenz, an investigator from Montgomery, Alabama’s Southern Poverty Law Center, discovers Cobb’s posts and informs Leith’s mayor, Ryan Schock. Schock, a young rancher and family man who’d lived in Leith all his life, is stunned by the news and the ensuing media firestorm. Cobb then invites the head of the largest neo-Nazi group in the U.S. to stage a town hall meeting, and nearly 300 people show up. As the town struggles to fight against one man’s extremist vision, Cobb and his followers ratchet up the intimidation tactics, disrupting city council meetings with shouts of “Sieg Heil” and posting residents’ names and home addresses on racist web sites. When he takes to patrolling the streets with a loaded rifle and shotgun, residents decide they have had enough and proceed to take matters into their own hands.

Douglas Mwonzora during negotiations on the drafting of Zimbabwe’s constitution. INDEPENDENT LENS

Democrats/ Soft Vengeance  9pm Monday, April 18 Also 4/20 1am In the wake of long-time leader Robert Mugabe’s contentious 2008 presidential win, Zimbabwe took a historic step forward by convening a bipartisan constitutional committee in an effort to transition the country away from its corrupt, authoritarian leadership. Two men from rival political parties were appointed to the committee: Paul Mangwana and Douglas Mwonzora. Should they fail at securing maximum influence for their respective parties on the provisions in the new constitution, dire consequences will loom for each. Filmed over the course of three years with unprecedented access to the two political rivals overseeing the committee, this riveting, first-hand account of a country’s challenging first steps towards democracy plays at once like an intimate political thriller and unlikely buddy film.

A SPECIAL

Thanks! TO OUR MEMBERS

We just completed another very successful pledge drive and would like to sincerely thank everyone who provided support. Your generous contributions help us continue to air programs that celebrate the beauty of Montana and our independent spirit. Programs that teach us and take us places we have never been before. Most importantly, they are programs that are made available for everyone to experience. We know that a pledge drive can interrupt your regular routine but we hope that you were able to enjoy a concert you would be otherwise unable to attend or maybe you were able to explore a new part of the state from the comfort of your own home. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who pledged during the March drive. Thank you!

If you meant to pledge but have not yet, there is still time. Go to our website at

Ready Jet Go! is a new PBS Kids earth science and astronomy series for children ages 3-8. Ready Jet Go! takes viewers on a journey into outer space, building on children’s curiosity about science, technology and astronomy. The series follows two neighborhood kids: Sean, who has an all-consuming drive for science facts, and Sydney, who has a passion for science fiction and imagination. They both befriend the new kid on their street, Jet Propulsion, whose family members happen to be aliens from the planet Bortron 7. Together, they explore the solar system and the effects it has on the science of our planet, while learning about friendship and teamwork along the way. Ready Jet Go! features live-action interstitials with Jet Propulsion Laboratory astronomer Dr. Amy Mainzer, who also is the science curriculum consultant for the show. Created by Craig Bartlett, who also created PBS Kids’ hit series Dinosaur Train, Ready Jet Go! is produced by Wind Dancer Films. PBS SoCaL is a station partner for the series.

Old Faithful erupting, Yellowstone National Park

National Parks: America’s Best Idea This six-part documentary series is the story of an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence and just as radical: that the most special places in the nation should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. As such, it follows in the tradition of Burns’s exploration of other American inventions, such as baseball and jazz. This series was directed by Ken Burns and co-produced with his longtime colleague, Dayton Duncan, who also wrote the script.
