A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
As November is upon us, I have been reflecting on what this change in season represents: a time of harvest, a time of giving, a time of gratitude, and the winding down of what has been another remarkable year at TPT. We have also been putting the finishing touches on our strategic plan. We can’t wait to share it with you soon. This month we are proud to feature programming that honors Native American Heritage month as well as Veteran’s Day. To those of you who have served, thank you.
I would like to highlight a standout documentary, The People’s Protectors . The film follows four Native American veterans as they reflect on their experiences during the Vietnam War. You can stream it now on our website at tpt.org/the-peoples-protectors or by using the PBS Video App on your smart TV or mobile phone. The film was notably produced at TPT by the accomplished Leya Hale. Her newest documentary, Bring Her Home , surrounds the missing and murdered indigenous women movement. Watch the trailer online at tpt.org/bringherhome and look for the film premiere in 2022. This fall, we are celebrating our Emmy-nominated colleagues. In October, TPT was honored to receive twenty regional Emmy nominations and take home nine awards! This recognition is truly deserved for the many hardworking staff members who devote their days to creating exceptional educational television. Stream the winning shows now at tpt.org/emmys2021 . And of course, it would not be possible with you. Our members make all that you see in this magazine possible. In this season of giving, please consider an additional gift to TPT on November 17, Give to the Max Day. We would be so thankful.
Best Regards, Sylvia Strobel President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS
