Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:30:44 -0400

http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/butte-america You see the world differently when you work underground. That made Butte, Montana different right from the start as immigrants came from around the world to work the mines. But what they blasted out of the 10,000 miles of tunnels was more than just copper. It was the rise of unions and multinational corporations, and the seeds of the current debate over the environment. In this clip, when the mines closed, a poisonous silence settled over Butte. BUTTE, AMERICA premieres Tuesday, October 20 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Visit the Web site for more: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/butte-america

WIDE ANGLE Eyes of the Storm PBS

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:45:29 -0400

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/eyes-of-the-storm/introduction/5327/ On the heels of Burma’s release of an American prisoner and extension of the house arrest of pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, WIDE ANGLE tells the story of orphans left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. On May 2, 2008, Cyclone Nargis made landfall on Burma’s southern coast as a Category 4 storm. Winds of 130 miles per hour raged all night, and storm surge drowned much of the Irrawaddy Delta in over 12 feet of water. Whole villages vanished, at least 130,000 people died, and two million were left homeless, making this storm the worst natural disaster in Burma’s history. Among the survivors were thousands of children orphaned or separated from their parents. Through the eyes of the Burmese filmmaking team who shot undercover for over 10 months in defiance of the ruling junta’s media blackout, WIDE ANGLE provides a rare window into one of the world’s most secretive countries. The hour-long documentary also features American and British journalists who have reported from Burma and speak of its history and the hopes and fears for its future. The film premieres this week; broadcast times vary so check your local listings: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/schedule/ Also online: See a preview of the film, learn about the major turning points of Burma's history, view an audio slideshow about aid workers imprisoned after providing assistance to storm survivors, and watch an Aaron Brown interview with New York Times reporter Neil MacFarquhar about pro-democracy leader Aung San Sui Kyi.
