SUMMARY:The Harvest sneak peek and discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Harvest preview and discussion \nDouglas Blackmon\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Slavery By Another Name\, will discuss his new documentary film\,  The Harvest. \nThe Harvest tells the story of the struggle to integrate public schools in one small Mississippi Delta town as seen through the eyes of black and white children born at the height of the civil rights struggle and the transformation they and all of America would undergo over the next 50 years. \nUsing archival film and footage shot by Blackmon and filmmaker Sam Pollard over the past two decades\, The Harvest tracks the experiences of children born when Mississippi was aflame from 1964’s Freedom Summer\, and follows as they enter school six years later in the first mixed-race classrooms in Mississippi\, rise through youth and into adulthood\, and then emerge as leaders of their communities. \nFor many\, the benefits of these integrated classrooms were enormous\, yet within two decades\, most schools in racially diverse areas were once again deeply segregated. The Harvest asks a simple question: Why did this happen? \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam War \nTune in to Georgia Public Broadcasting for The Vietnam War\, a new documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. This 10-part\, 18-hour documentary series will tell the epic story of one of the most controversial events in American history as it has never before been told on film. Historic resources include rarely seen archival footage from sources around the globe\, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th century\, and secret audio recordings from inside the Kennedy\, Johnson\, and Nixon administrations. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nEpisode One: “Deja Vu” (1858-1961)\nAirs: September 17\nVietnamese revolutionaries led by Ho Chi Minh end nearly a century of French colonial occupation. With the Cold War intensifying\, Vietnam is divided into two at Geneva. Communists in the north aim to reunify the country\, while America supports Ngo Dinh Diem’s untested regime in the South. \nEpisode Two: “Riding the Tiger” (1961-1963)\nAirs: September 18\nPresident Kennedy inspires idealistic young Americans to serve their country and wrestles with involvement in South Vietnam. As the Diem regime faces a growing communist insurgency and widespread Buddhist protests\, a grave political crisis unfolds. \nEpisode Three: “The River Styx” (1964-1965)\nAirs: September 19\nFearing Saigon’s collapse\, President Johnson escalates America’s military commitment\, authorizing sustained bombing of the North and deploying ground troops in the South. \nEpisode Four: “Resolve” (January 1966-June 1967)\nAirs: September 20\nAs an antiwar effort builds in the United States\, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and Marines discover that the war they are being asked to fight in Vietnam is nothing like their fathers’ war. \nEpisode Five: “This Is What We Do” (July 1967-December 1967)\nAirs: September 21\nHanoi lays plans for a massive surprise offensive\, and the Johnson administration reassures the American public that victory is in sight. \nEpisode Six: “Things Fall Apart” (January 1968-July 1968)\nAirs: September 24\nOn the eve of the Tết holiday\, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launch a surprise attack on cities and military bases throughout the South\, casting grave doubt on President Johnson’s promise that there is “light at the end of the tunnel.” \nEpisode Seven: “The Veneer of Civilization” (June 1968-May 1969)\nAirs: September 25\nPublic support for the war declines. After police battle with demonstrators in the streets of Chicago\, Richard Nixon wins the presidency\, promising law and order at home and peace overseas. \nEpisode Eight: “The History of the World” (April 1969-May 1970)\nAirs: September 26\nPresident Nixon begins withdrawing American troops. News breaks of an unthinkable massacre committed by American soldiers\, and an incursion into Cambodia reignites antiwar protests with tragic consequences. \nEpisode Nine: “A Disrespectful Loyalty” (May 1970-March 1973)\nAirs: September 27\nSouth Vietnamese forces fighting on their own in Laos suffer a terrible defeat. Massive U.S. airpower makes the difference in halting an unprecedented North Vietnamese offensive. After being re-elected in a landslide\, Nixon announces Hanoi has agreed to a peace deal. American prisoners of war will finally come home — to a bitterly divided country. \nEpisode Ten: “The Weight of Memory” (March 1973 onward)\nAirs: September 28\nWhile the Watergate scandal rivets Americans’ attention and forces President Nixon to resign\, the Vietnamese continue to savage one another in a brutal civil war. When hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese troops pour into the South\, Saigon descends rapidly into chaos and collapses. For the next 40 years\, Americans and Vietnamese from all sides search for healing and reconciliation.

SUMMARY:The Vietnam War preview screening
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam War\, an immersive ten-part\, 18 hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, tells the epic story of one of the most consequential\, divisive\, and misunderstood events in American history. The series features testimony of nearly 100 eyewitnesses\, including “ordinary” Americans who fought in the conflict and those who fought against it\, and “ordinary” Vietnamese soldiers and civilians from the North and the South. In recalling for the camera what they saw and felt and did half a century ago\, these men and women reveal the human dimensions of the searing tragedy that tore America apart\, unified Vietnam under communist rule\, and cost the lives of 58\,000 Americans and as many as three million Vietnamese. \nGeorgia Public Broadcasting and the City of Johns Creek are pleased to partner for a free community sneak peek of this new documentary. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, and no reservation is required. The Mark Burkhalter Ampitheater is located inside Newtown Park\, near the intersection of Haynes Bridge Road and Old Alabama Road. Free parking is located inside Newtown Park.

(R) Carlton Savory and Col.
