American Experience: Amelia Earhart The Last Ridge The Mother
The Last American Experience: Ridge Amelia Earhart Mon, 28 • 9pm th Fri, 18th • 8pm The Mother Road Mon, 7th • 9pm Sun, 13th • 12noon www.kbtc.org NOVA: Pocahontas Revealed Thu, 17th • 8pm 1 Program Highlights American Experience: Summer of Love Friday, May 4th • 8pm NOVA: Hitler’s Sunken Secret Thursday, May 24th • 8pm One of the most daring clandestine operations of World War II was the 1944 sinking of the Norwegian ferry Hydro, with its cargo of “heavy water” destined for the Nazi’s secret atomic bomb project. Although the mission was declared a success, no one has ever established if the special shipment was actually on board. NOVA plunges 1,300 feet beneath a remote Norwegian lake to find the answer on “Hitler’s Sunken Secret”. In the summer of 1967, thousands of young people from across the country flocked to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to join in the hippie experience, only to discover that what they had come for was already disappearing. By 1968 the celebration of free love, music and an alternative lifestyle had descended into a maelstrom of drug abuse, broken dreams and occasional violence. Through interviews with a broad range of individuals, including actor Peter Coyote and politician Willie Brown, who lived through the summer of love, as well as police officers walking the beat, teenage runaways who left home without looking back, nonhippie residents who resented the invasion of their community and scholars who still have difficulty interpreting the phenomenon — this presentation offers a complex portrait of the notorious event that many consider the peak of the 1960s counter-culture movement. Exploring the pristine lake bottom with a remotely operated vehicle, NOVA locates the remarkably well-preserved ship along with evidence of a mysterious cargo in steel drums. Analysis of the contents of one of those drums will solve a six-decade-long mystery about the role the Allies played in preventing a Nazi nuclear bomb. Tuesdays • 7:30pm • Will Landon is one of the premiere panoramic photographers in the world.

Do Not Go Gently celebrates the lives, work and wisdom of three remarkable artists who have maintained their creative productivity well into their golden years. Their stories illustrate the role of creativity and art in contributing to a long, happy, healthy and vibrant life. Narrated by famed newsman (and nonagenarian) Walter Cronkite, Do Not Go Gently follows 82-year-old quilter Arlonzia Pettway, 90-year-old ballet dancer Frederic Franklin and 109-year-old composer Leo Ornstein through a typical day to illuminate their experiences as part of America’s fastest-growing age group — men and women 85 and older. Do Not Go Gently uncovers the science of lifelong creativity through interviews with gerontologist Dr. Gene Cohen, whose groundbreaking work provides a deeper understanding of the aging brain. The program also documents the importance of creative outlets to elders with Alzheimer’s disease and other agerelated disabilities. “Do Not Go Gently uncovers the science of lifelong creativity” CONTACT US Membership Services 888.596.KBTC [email protected] Viewer Services & Programming 253.680.7700 [email protected] The KBTC Association Board Corry Glucoft, Chair John Bechtholt Ron Klein Kevin Phelps Marilyn Strickland KBTC Online www.kbtc.org Write to: KBTC Public Television 2320 S. 19th St. Tacoma, WA 98405 • The Cascade Land Conservancy is finding creative ways to save land.

On board are 104 colonists who will establish the first successful English settlement in the New World at Jamestown. The exploits of the brash, swashbuckling John Smith, the wily, venerable chief Powhatan and his infatuated daughter, Pocahontas, will be recited, retold and embroidered until they gather the status of an epic founding myth of the new nation. Now, on the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, science is revealing the truth behind the myth — a saga of unparalleled adventure, greed and savagery. This film celebrates Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles, where the filmmaker, Lauren Cardillo, and her 80-year-old mother, Irene, take the road trip of their lives in a Mustang convertible. Shot over three weeks, the program spans eight states, three time zones and more than 2,400 miles, showcasing fascinating people along the way while capturing the nostalgia of the highway. Viewers see the start of Route 66 in Chicago; Ted Drewes’ ice cream stand and the Red Cedar Inn in Missouri; the Ribbon Road, the Blue Whale and the Coleman Theatre in Oklahoma; the Cadillac Ranch in Texas; the Jackalope and Tucumcari in New Mexico; the Jack Rabbit Trading Post, Oatman and the Grand Canyon in Arizona; and the end of the pavement on the California coast in Santa Monica. American Experience: Amelia Earhart Friday, May 18th • 8pm Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and the first to cross the North American continent alone. Her exploits as an aviator, her beauty and intelligence, her independence and charm made her a national heroine. Seemingly invincible, Earhart tirelessly traveled and lectured, a champion of aviation and equal opportunity for women. But her cheering public didn’t know the cost of her courage. The record-breaking flights, the aerial exhibitions and races, the interviews to support her favorite causes, the endless speeches and promotional commitments, together with household responsibilities, health problems and financial worries, combined to push Earhart to the point of exhaustion. In 1937, she set out to accomplish yet another first: to circle the earth along the equator on an east-west flight. Friends warned that her preparations were hurried, even careless. When her plane disappeared without a trace, the “First Lady of the Air” was instantly transformed into an American legend. 10 www.kbtc.org Expectations: Living with Alzheimer’s Disease Friday, May 11th • 8pm The Last Ridge Monday, May 28th • 9pm Memorial Day On a freezing winter night in February 1945, the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division accomplished the impossible: they scaled a 2,000-foot cliff in northern Italy to knock the seemingly invincible Germans from their impenetrable perch. THE LAST RIDGE recounts the remarkable story of the legendary 10th Mountain Division, whose extraordinary efforts turned the tide for the Allied forces in Italy, revolutionized winter mountain warfare abroad, transformed winter sports and inspired an entire generation of soldiers. Narrated by National Public Radio’s Scott Simon, the documentary traces the 10th Mountain Division’s history from their uphill battles in World War II to their current campaigns in troubled Afghanistan. Program repeats during the month. EXPECTATIONS: LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, takes an intimate, poignant look at the people affected by Alzheimer’s Disease – family members, caregivers and patients in early stages — as they navigate and experience the current continuum of care for the disease. Offering viewers the chance to learn about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s Disease and tips on how to cope with a loved one who may become, or may be afflicted, EXPECTATIONS: LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE takes you into their world, illustrating through their stories the problems they have faced, the obstacles they have overcome and the creative and compassionate solutions and resources they have been able to utilize during this experience. Masterpiece Theatre: Bleak House Monday, May 7th • 8pm Charles Dickens’ complex tale of young love, murder and the quest for a mystery-man’s identity unfolds in a sumptuous six-part adaptation by screenwriter Andrew Davies. BLEAK HOUSE features some of the most famous plot twists in literary history, including a case of human spontaneous combustion and an infamous inheritance dispute that’s tied up for generations in the dysfunctional English courts, while lawyers consume the assets of the estate.

His detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world is in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That’s why he needs Rose (Billie Piper). Rose is a shop-girl from the present day, trapped in a dull existence. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other.

The generosity of our viewers enabled us to meet our goals and keep us on firm financial footing….and that’s good news for you because it means we have the resources to keep bringing you the programs you value and even expand upon our services. This month we are partnering with the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation to raise community awareness of childhood diabetes. At Debbie Emond KBTC we are committed to providing safe, wholesome and educational programs for children and families - dedicating over 35 hours each week to programs that promote social values, provide positive role models, and help prepare kids for school. Our partnering with the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation is one more way KBTC can help children in our community lead healthier and happier lives. Conversely, the fastest growing age group in America is the 85 and above group. This month KBTC shares their stories and experiences through two programs. DO NOT GO GENTLY uncovers the science of lifelong creativity through interviews with gerontologist Dr. Gene Cohen, whose groundbreaking work provides a deeper understanding of the aging brain. The program also documents the importance of creative outlets to people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other age-related disabilities. EXPECTATIONS: LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE offers the chance to learn about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s Disease and tips on how to cope with a loved one who may become, or may be afflicted. The program takes you into their world, illustrating through their stories the problems they have faced, the obstacles they have overcome, and the creative and compassionate solutions and resources they have utilized in living with Alzheimer’s Disease. Sincerely, Debbie Emond Executive Dean and General Manager, KBTC & KCKA A Service of Bates Technical College KBTC Public Television provides a window to the world by using the power of the media to enrich lives through programs and services that educate, inspire and entertain.

The zany, unconventional humor of MONTY PYTHON beckons to a new generation as PBS rebroadcasts the series that first mugged American funny bones in 1974. The troupe that made Spam and lumberjacks fit subjects for musical tribute and the Ministry of Silly Walks as familiar as the Department of Defense includes John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and the late Graham Chapman.
