Foundation Highlights

  • When Jonathan Isaac Jackson set out to make the film Big Chief, Black Hawk, he wanted to break out of the “box” of typical documentaries about New Orleans. He took a deep dive into the world of Mardi Gras Masking Indians, whose culture struggles to survive amid gentrification and changing demographics. The film premieres on February 16 at 8pm on GBH WORLD.
  • The American Archive for Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaboration between GBH Archives and the Library of Congress, has received a four-year, $16 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to significantly enhance its collection of historic public media resources and make it more broadly available for scholars, researchers, educators and the public.
  • There’s no place quite like the Treeborhood, a massive treehouse with secret passageways, gondolas and rope swings. The residents—wombats, snakes, moose, kangaroos, iguanas, fish and eagles—bring that fantastical world to life in the new GBH Kids series Work It Out Wombats!, which premieres this month on GBH 2, on pbskids.org and PBS nationwide.
  • The image of a wounded pregnant woman rushed out of a Mariupol hospital bombed by Russia showed the world the horror and brutality of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The March 2022 photo instantly became a defining photograph of the war.
  • For most people who know about Zora Neale Hurston, her name is almost synonymous with her epic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. A new AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film Zora Neale Hurston: Claiming a Space reveals a more multifaceted, nuanced woman who was as much a social scientist as she was a fiction writer.
  • Wedding bells chime and animal ailments abound as MASTERPIECE presents the much-anticipated Season Three of All Creatures Great and Small.
  • Tibisay Zea, a reporter for GBH’s and PRX’s The World, is host of GBH News’ new Spanish-language program “Salud,” produced in partnership with El Planeta and Harvard Medical School.
  • For anyone who has been lucky enough to behold A Christmas Celtic Sojourn with Brian O’Donovan, they know that Celtic singer Mairi Campbell is right when she calls the holiday event “a great embracing of something that’s greater than ourselves.”
  • One in 44 children in the U.S. was diagnosed in 2021 as being on the autism spectrum. But what is autism and how broad is the spectrum?
  • Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, President Vladimir Putin has cracked down on internal dissent, threatening long jail sentences for Russians who oppose the war or independently report on it.
