HD03, the Place to Be in December
APT will feed three new HD specials in late November for December scheduling: a Rick Steves' pledge event, a holiday-themed performance documentary, and a chronicle of one of the epic clashes in early American history.
Urban Nutcracker: Anatomy of a Ballet
|
On Saturday, November 28 at 1830ET, Urban Nutcracker: Anatomy of a Ballet (1x60) goes behind-the-scenes of Anthony Williams’ daring adaptation of the holiday classic, in which a diverse group of Boston dancers — a rough-edged tap star, a black cavalier and a Latina teen — put their twist on traditional Nutcracker roles. The performance documentary captures the challenges involved in uniting the multi-ethnic team of dancers, artists and stage crew and presenting the professional-quality stage show on a non-profit budget. Along the way, cameras capture the gradual crumbling of barriers as participants work, learn and perform together. A delightful and insightful addition to your Christmas programming slate.
In anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the end of the French and Indian War, we will feed Forgotten War: The Struggle for North America (1x60). Produced and presented by Mountain Lake PBS, the film tells the little-known story of how the Indian nations of the Northeast controlled the outcome of this conflict (1755-1760). An international panel of experts digs beneath the familiar history and sheds new light on the fates of the Abenaki and Iroquois people, the myth of Robert Rogers and his legendary Rangers, the "massacre" at Fort William Henry and the battles of Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Feed begins on Saturday, November 28. 1930ET.
And finally... from architecture and art, to faith and everyday living, Rick Steves’ Iran Pledge Event (1x90) offers a rare, candid and humanizing look at a powerful and perplexing nation. Rick visits Tehran, Shiraz, Persepolis and more for a present-day look at some of civilization's most important historical sites and a sense of Iran's 21st-century culture. Catch the feed Sunday, November 29 from 1400-1530ET/ HD03.
