“The Dust Bowl”: Herschal Crow Fine Arts Center in Altus to host advance screening of PBS documentary
Western State College’s Herschal Crow Fine Arts Center is joining with OETA-The Oklahoma Network and the Oklahoma Conservation Partnership to host an advance screening of the upcoming PBS documentary “The Dust Bowl” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4.
Dust bowl survivors featured in the film, along with historians and conservation experts, will participate in a panel discussion after the screening at the Herschal Crow Fine Arts Center, according to a news release.
The event is free and open to the public, however, seating is limited and reservations are recommended. For seating reservations, call (405) 841-9212.
“The Dust Bowl,” from acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns (“The Civil War,” “Jazz,” “Baseball”), is scheduled to air at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 and 19 on OETA.
The two-part, four-hour film documents the history of the Dust Bowl and its causes, but primarily centers on Oklahoma and the state’s dust bowl survivors.
The screening and panel discussion are part of a statewide community engagement effort brought about to go over the issues explored in “The Dust Bowl” and promote dialogue about how Oklahomans are using, supporting and promoting sustainability in their families and communities.
