Slavery by Another Name
Coming February 2012
Slavery by Another Name director Sam Pollard receives standing ovation at the world-premiere screening of Slavery of Another Name at Sundance Film Festival

The Film: Slavery by Another Name challenges one of Americans' most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865, thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality. It was a system in which men, often guilty of no crime at all, were arrested, compelled to work without pay, repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding of masters.
Livingston & Paradise Valley Translators Off The Air
MontanaPBS has learned that the Shields Valley Translator Association has lost their FCC license to operate channels 17 and 27 in Livingston and Paradise Valley. Unfortunately MontanaPBS will not be available on these over-the-air channels while the Association is in the process of securing a new license. MontanaPBS will be in regular contact with the Translator Association, and once they secure a license, we will work quickly to restore carriage. In the meantime, some national PBS programs can be viewed online immediately after broadcast. Viewers are encouraged to visit watch.montanapbs.org to watch these programs.
