Wayne Hampton in his Fort Benton workshop.

The 50 students at bucolic Greenfield School in Fairfield are energetic and bright. One reason for their success is a tasty lunch program. We’ll spend a day with Lunch Lady Salley Young as she prepares a special meal that’s 100 percent Montana made. In Kalispell we switch into the world of antique phones with a man whose collecting began with his career as an installer with the phone company. He’s proof that it pays to “keep the old stuff.” We’ll veer off the road to some of Montana’s beautiful lakes and ponds to observe the springtime ritual of birds’ courtship dances. And we’ll meet a man in Fort Benton whose skill in crafting musical instruments is only surpassed by his generous spirit. William Marcus hosts the program from the Big Horn County Museum in Hardin.

Montana Focus: Homeless Schooling They’re not as visible as homeless populations in large metropolitan areas of the country, but the growing number of homeless families in Montana face the same challenges of finding food and shelter.

They show up for school hungry and are expected to compete for higher grades with students who are much better off financially.

The Homestead Act of 1862 is one of the most significant and enduring events in the westward expansion of the United States. This documentary explores the importance of this Act to the state of Montana.

It is unknown how many homesteads are still occupied by family descendants. Only 15 families have registered to be recognized by the Centennial Farm and Ranch Program since 2011. According to John Boughton, national register coordinator for the Montana Historical Society, they all share a common goal: Be sustainable and be good stewards for the future generations of family, just as their ancestors did for them.

Follow famed paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey and his wife, Meave, daughter Louise and their colleagues as they work in the arid northern regions of Kenya’s Turkana Basin to unravel the mysteries of human evolution. While one of the Leakeys’ goals is to demonstrate the complexity and truth of human evolution, they also seek to show how the qualities that we proudly call human were all born in Africa. The story that emerges in the film is exciting, emotional, contemplative, occasionally funny and, in the end, transforming. This is Africa at its most beautiful and harshest.

Fort Peck Dam

The conditions were dangerous, the pay low, and housing inadequate. Most lived in boomtowns that sprang up almost overnight near the project. For six long years, workers faced risky and dangerous conditions in three shifts, 24 hours a day. Today, The Fort Peck Dam remains the largest hydraulically filled earthen dam in the world. For 75 years it has tirelessly carried out its original missions; flood control, navigation, power generation, and recreation. But, in a more environmentally conscious age, some wish the dam had never been built. The value system that was in place when the dam was authorized gave little consideration to the destruction of natural habitats.

In the midst of the great depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt set the stage to build the world’s largest earthen dam, to tame the mighty Missouri river. Winding through America’s heartland, the Missouri was wildly unpredictable, and characterized by extremes. Led by the Army Corps of Engineers and the “New Deal” Public Works Administration, construction began on the Fort Peck dam. In 1933, thousands of American families headed for the only hope of employment that they had seen in years in the badlands of Eastern Montana.

What does it mean to lead men in war? What does it mean to come home, injured physically and psychologically, and build a life anew? In “Hell and Back Again,” two overlapping narratives are intercut, the life of a Marine at war on the front and the life of the same Marine in recovery at home, creating both a dreamlike quality and a strikingly realistic depiction of how Marines experience this war.
