Jon has Down Syndrome

2011-10-05T20:21:00.002-08:00

The Teachings of Jon

Jon is 40 years old and profoundly affected by Down Syndrome. He can’t talk, has an IQ of 20 and earns less than thirteen dollars a year. Although it may appear that he will not accomplish much by conventional standards of measure, his greater purpose is to teach others how to love. This documentary, The Teachings of Jon, was created by his sister and celebrates Jon as he IS rather than focusing on changing Jon to fit into the world around him.

Nixon's The One: The '68 Election

2011-09-28T20:23:00.003-08:00

(And How it Changed America.....)

In 1962, Richard Nixon's once meteoric political career lay in ruins. The former vice-president had suffered two bitter losses; one in the 1960 presidential race against John F. Kennedy, the other in a bid for the governorship of his home state of California. Yet, only six years later, Nixon would be elected President of the United States. How did it happen? Why did it happen?

That is the historical riddle that Nixon's the One: The '68 Election (And How It Changed America) examines. Combining elements of biography with an exploration of the larger cultural, political, and historical landscape of the Sixties, the film argues that Nixon, far from being an improbable president, was the figure who most expertly exploited the tensions of the era, harnessing them for his own ends.

Strong storm winds in Juneau last winter damaged some of our outside antenna and dish equipment. This new dish, in a large poured concrete mount, should stand up to any wind gusts we experience in the future and help us to provide the best television service we can across Alaska.

Tordenskjold: Boat of the Century

2011-06-29T20:12:00.004-08:00

The historic halibut schooner Tordenskjold has steamed into her second century.

As she celebrates her centennial, she is neither relic nor museum piece. The Tordenskjold leads a small fleet of hard working commercial fishing schooners that compete head to head with modern boats on the Alaska fishing grounds.

The Tordenskjold was built in 1911 at John Strand’s Seattle boat yard. Today, there are about 20 of the schooners left, still setting and hauling longline gear in the Alaska halibut and black cod fisheries, and still generating profits and supporting family wage jobs. Now, John Sabella has released a 30-minute documentary that celebrates the old schooners and their extraordinary history.
