Ken Burns: The National Parks  Airs 7:30pm Saturday, March 9 Also 3/2 11:30am; 3/3 10am; 3/11 3:30am, 10:30am; 3/15 5am This new PBS special celebrates one of Ken Burns’ most beautiful and beloved series, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature’s most spectacular locales— from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska—the series is filled with incidents and characters as gripping and fascinating as American history has to offer. Filmmakers Burns and Dayton Duncan vividly reveal behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the series, and engaging interviews with Park Ranger Shelton Johnson and cinematographer Buddy Squires provide additional background.

Ken Burns: The National Parks is also a story of the unforgettable Americans who made the parks possible. People from every conceivable background—rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs—who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

sand military planes roared into Great Falls during World War II. Three years later, courageous Air Force pilots and crews trained 24 hours a day in Great Falls preparing for the Berlin Airlift. They stopped the Cold War blockade, and probably prevented World War III. At the same time, a new Air National Guard was formed to serve Montana, who were later called up to support oversees wars. A decade later, there was the race in Montana to ready the Minuteman missiles as Russia stockpiled missiles in Cuba. It all happened in north-central Montana, and often in top-secret conditions.

Special Presentation: The Collections Is collecting a hobby, a passion or just a conversation starter? We’ll let you decide in our Backroads of Montana Collection Special. Sonia Tetley, of Columbia Falls, started the trend when we profiled her door knob collection. After that we visited doll collections, antler collections and handkerchief collections. Along the way we got to know the collectors. We met people who collect sewing machines, beer memorabilia and natural fibers. In Kalispell we met a man who collects antique telephones. Lou Adler, of Billings, is considered “The King of the One Armed Bandits”. In Winifred we followed a young boy through what may be the world’s largest collection of Tonka toys. And in Three Forks we met a man who collects Montana stories for his weekly magazine column. Those collections and more on the next Backroads Special.

Also 3/7 2:30am, 11:30am; 3/17 8am Girls’ basketball has a long history in Montana, dating back to the earliest organized game played at an Indian boarding school at Fort Shaw in 1897. In 1902, a unique combination of Native women came together at a boarding school in Montana. They used the new sport of basketball to help them adjust to a rapidly changing world. Their travels and experiences led them to places they never imagined.

Ultimately, these women played for something much larger than themselves. This historical documentary on Montana PBS recounts the adventures of ten young women who made up an early team from the school.

In the fifth century, the future of Britain hung in the balance. After four centuries of Roman occupation and leadership, the Romans up and left, leaving the nation vulnerable to an invading Anglo-Saxon horde—or at least that’s what the fragmentary historical texts record. The truth is no one really knows what happened, and this pivotal moment in history has been shrouded in mystery—until now.

In Secrets of the Dead: King Arthur’s Lost Kingdom, Professor Alice Roberts uses exciting new archaeological discoveries to decode the myths and piece together a very different story of this turning point in Britain’s history.

Key to her quest is the excavation of a stone palace complex on the Tintagel peninsula in Cornwall—long believed to be the birthplace of the King Arthur legend. More than folklore, was Arthur in fact ruler of a prosperous and sophisticated trading village, and the heroic defender of the native Britons against the invading Anglo-Saxons?

Dean Lennox Kelly as Meredith Rutter and Niamh Walsh as Verity Bridges

Jamestown When a mysterious illness spreads, they see an opportunity to exploit the outspoken Verity.

Jocelyn must use her guile to help her friend.

Alice faces her own battle with the authorities.

From the makers of Downton Abbey, this stunning series follows the lives of three women as they wrestle with the challenges of creating a new life in a beautiful yet forbidding land. In the 17th century, on the edge of the breathtaking but untamed Virginian wilderness, sits the English colony of Jamestown. The settlement barely survived its first decade but is on the brink of change summoned by the arrival of a new governor, Yeardley, and 90 so-called “maids to make bride”—a bid from the presiding Virginia Company to establish the town as a prosperous place for all. Yeardley also brings with him a charter, granting land to the earliest settlers in reward for their loyalty, but new laws cause power struggles within the town and with the native inhabitants.

 Episode 1 3/21 9pm; 3/24 4am

An English ship arrives in 17th Century Virginia with women destined to marry the frustrated men of Jamestown. They’re faced with a hazardous wilderness and physical hardship, but are drawn to the intoxicating hope of freedom and adventure.

 Episode 2 3/28 9pm; 3/31 4am

Clare Dunne (Portia) and Harriet Walter (Brutus) in Julius Caesar.

G R E AT P E R F O R M A N C E S

Julius Caesar  Airs 8pm Friday, March 29 Also 4/1 3am Set in a women’s prison, Great Performances: Julius Caesar offers a powerful dramatization of the catastrophic consequences of a political leader’s extension of power beyond constitutional confines through an all-female lens. In this acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production directed by Phyllida Lloyd (The Iron Lady, Mamma Mia!), Shakespeare’s famous discourse on power, loyalty and tragic idealism is heightened against the backdrop of female incarceration.

The women play male inmates and guards: Brutus wrestles with his moral conscience over the assassination of Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony manipulates the crowd with subtle and incendiary rhetoric to create frenzied mob violence. Performed in-the-round and enhanced by a guerilla filming style on a mostly bare stage, Great Performances: Julius Caesar creates a unique perspective on Shakespeare’s tragedy. GoPros and a drone offer a stark reminder of the prison setting, and heavy metal music blasts to highlight the conflict on stage.

F E AT U R E D O N

 Tuesdays and Thursdays 5pm and 10:30pm on MontanaPBS Create Celebrity chef and former Food Network host Christine Cushing takes viewers on a voyage of discovery, uncovering the fascinating traditions, philosophies and history of Chinese culinary culture and its surprising influence on food around the world. Christine’s motivation to embark on this journey is her discovery that 2,500-year-old Chinese philosopher Confucius was actually—a foodie. From exploring Chinese cuisines in North America to the culinary politics of Taiwan, the tasty richness of Hong Kong, and the blended flavors of South East Asia, Christine finds connections to the gastronomic precepts of the great Chinese philosopher both ancient and modern. Each episode features Christine as a culinary adventurer, fearlessly leading viewers to a deeper appreciation of our world through a gourmand filter. In Italy, Christine questions the origins of pizza; in Greece, she uncovers the beginnings of her beloved baklava; and in Paris, she discovers that crepes have Chinese roots. Featuring celebrity guests such as Anna Olson, chef Wan, Ming Tsai, Alvin Leung, and Janet Hsieh, Confucius Was A Foodie shakes up foodie myths, and takes a delicious look at the historical and contemporary landscape of Chinese cuisine.
