The film is a contemplative narrative of an Irish family man whose childhood trauma is unearthed after a routine coal delivery to a Magdalene laundry, an institution where "fallen women" were housed and often abused by Catholic nuns.

"KNEECAP" is the first Irish-language film to debut at Sundance and is also Ireland’s submission to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film.

Interest in the novel has continued, and now “The Emperor of Ocean Park” has been adapted into a streaming series starring Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker.

A new documentary covering the career of legendary rapper and founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, Ol' Dirty Bastard, is on the horizon. The rapper's life is a tale of triumph, transcendent genius and tragedy. "Ol' Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirties," premieres on A&E TV on Aug. 25 and will be available to stream the next day.

The actor, who has been known for decades for his roles in programs like "Lost," "Star Wars," and "X-Men," joins The Culture Show to preview the third season of HBO's "Industry."

This event is SOLD OUT. Please join the waitlist. We will be in touch with you if tickets open up.

Explore the life and prolific works of artist, scientist, and engineer Leonardo da Vinci in Ken Burns’s latest film LEONARDO da VINCI. Following a sneak peek of clips from the film, GBH President and CEO Susan Goldberg will moderate a conversation with filmmakers Ken Burns and his co-director and Sarah Burns. The Museum of Fine Arts’ Senior Curator of European Sculpture & Phillips Curator of Judaica, Marietta Cambareri, will also join the panel to discuss the unique genius of this Italian Renaissance polymath.

About the film
LEONARDO da VINCI follows the artist’s evolution as a draughtsman and painter, scientist and engineer, who used notebooks to explore an astonishing array of subjects including painting, philosophy, engineering, warfare, anatomy, and geography, among many others. Though he intended to publish his writings, he never did, but the film delves into those he left behind to get inside his mind as he strove to master the laws of nature and apply them to his endeavors.

LEONARDO da VINCI looks at how the artist influenced and inspired future generations, and it finds in his soaring imagination and profound intellect the foundation for a conversation we are still having today: what is our relationship with nature and what does it mean to be human.

LEONARDO da VINCI will air November 18 and 19, at 8-10pm ET (check local listings) on GBH, PBS.org and the PBS App.

The actress seems to have a cosmic connection to the 1800s.

The pop-classical soundtrack to Netflix's hit series "Bridgerton" isn't historically accurate, but that's the whole point.
