"30 for 30" Documentary on 1988 Dallas Carter High School Football Team Airs August 24 on ESPN
"30 for 30" Documentary on 1988 Dallas Carter High School Football Team Airs August 24 on ESPN

[via press release from ESPN] "30 for 30" Documentary on 1988 Dallas Carter High School Football Team Airs August 24 on ESPN
ESPN Films continues a busy summer of sports documentaries on Thursday, August 24, with a 30 for 30 documentary about the highs and lows of the 1988 Dallas Carter High School football team. "What Carter Lost," directed by Adam Hootnick, will air at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Trailer: http://es.pn/2uR88YA
There's high school football, and then there's Texas high school football. Oddly enough though, one of the greatest teams in state history has been lost to time - and fate. "What Carter Lost" is the saga of that team, the 1988 Dallas Carter Cowboys.
With 21 players who were offered college scholarships and several who went on to the NFL, Carter took on the best that Texas had to offer, including the Odessa Permian team that inspired Friday Night Lights, as well as the worst: in a racially charged state-wide dispute over one player's algebra grade and Carter's legitimacy. Somehow, the team won the championship that year. Yet not too long after, the legacy they worked so hard for was thrown away after a group of players made a terrible decision. With personal interviews with players, coaches and family members, as well as glimpses of their lives today, "What Carter Lost" is ultimately about what Carter found.
"The movie Friday Night Lights showed the world a skewed and fictionalized version of one of the best high school football teams in Texas history, the 1988 Dallas Carter Cowboys, but very few of the players, coaches, parents, and teachers involved in that controversial season ever had a chance to speak for themselves," said director Adam Hootnick. "In 'What Carter Lost,' I was honored to help bring the Carter saga to life in the words of the people who lived it, even as I struggled to make sense of everything that had happened. Nearly three decades on, there still aren't any simple answers, but I hope everyone who encounters these unforgettable people and events will walk away asking hard questions about what it means to be a teammate or a leader."

[via press release from ESPN] "30 for 30" Documentary on 1988 Dallas Carter High School Football Team Airs August 24 on ESPN
ESPN Films continues a busy summer of sports documentaries on Thursday, August 24, with a 30 for 30 documentary about the highs and lows of the 1988 Dallas Carter High School football team. "What Carter Lost," directed by Adam Hootnick, will air at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Trailer: http://es.pn/2uR88YA
There's high school football, and then there's Texas high school football. Oddly enough though, one of the greatest teams in state history has been lost to time - and fate. "What Carter Lost" is the saga of that team, the 1988 Dallas Carter Cowboys.
With 21 players who were offered college scholarships and several who went on to the NFL, Carter took on the best that Texas had to offer, including the Odessa Permian team that inspired Friday Night Lights, as well as the worst: in a racially charged state-wide dispute over one player's algebra grade and Carter's legitimacy. Somehow, the team won the championship that year. Yet not too long after, the legacy they worked so hard for was thrown away after a group of players made a terrible decision. With personal interviews with players, coaches and family members, as well as glimpses of their lives today, "What Carter Lost" is ultimately about what Carter found.
"The movie Friday Night Lights showed the world a skewed and fictionalized version of one of the best high school football teams in Texas history, the 1988 Dallas Carter Cowboys, but very few of the players, coaches, parents, and teachers involved in that controversial season ever had a chance to speak for themselves," said director Adam Hootnick. "In 'What Carter Lost,' I was honored to help bring the Carter saga to life in the words of the people who lived it, even as I struggled to make sense of everything that had happened. Nearly three decades on, there still aren't any simple answers, but I hope everyone who encounters these unforgettable people and events will walk away asking hard questions about what it means to be a teammate or a leader."

Offering a Social Studies Curriculum, Multiplatform Show Will Invite Young Children to Explore World Cultures
Today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, PBS KIDS announced the new animated series LUNA AROUND THE WORLD, produced by 9 Story Media Group and created by Emmy Award-winning animator, writer and artist Joe Murray (Rocko's Modern Life, Camp Lazlo). This new multiplatform series will debut nationwide in fall 2018 on PBS stations, the new 24/7 PBS KIDS channel and PBS KIDS digital platforms. With a social studies curriculum, LUNA AROUND THE WORLD will encourage kids ages 4-7 to explore and appreciate cultures from all over the world, and build global citizenship and social skills.
"Our approach with LUNA AROUND THE WORLD is to offer engaging stories and adventures that are fun, developmentally appropriate and align with our whole-child approach to content," said Linda Simensky, Vice President, Children's Programming, PBS. "Luna is a trusted guide who will encourage children to learn about the world beyond their own neighborhoods. The series seeks to foster an appreciation for cultural diversity, developing social and civic skills and promoting global stewardship."
LUNA AROUND THE WORLD follows the adventures of three friends - Leo, a wombat from Australia; Carmen, a butterfly from Mexico; and Andy, a frog from the U.S. - as they traverse the globe with their parents' traveling performance troupe, "Circo Fabuloso." At each of the Circo's stops, Luna the moon guides the trio as they experience the local language, music and daily life. The gang's adventures take them across continents - from London to Cairo to Beijing - where they explore the food, architecture and other features that make each region unique.
"LUNA AROUND THE WORLD is designed to ignite kids' curiosity about the world and inspire them to learn about the many different cultures that call it home," said series creator Joe Murray. "Through this show, my goal is to give all children the opportunity to explore cultures other than their own, and to learn about the similarities that unite all of us - through challenges that kids can relate to, with the universal language of laughter woven into each story."
LUNA AROUND THE WORLD brings an innovative approach to social studies for young viewers. The series takes kids on an informative and imaginative exploration of global culture to make connections between communities all over the world, integrating concepts of anthropology, history, ecology, geography, sociology and economics.
"We are thrilled to be working with PBS KIDS and the incredibly talented Joe Murray to bring LUNA AROUND THE WORLD to life," said Vince Commisso, President & CEO of 9 Story Media Group. "We've had the pleasure of working with PBS KIDS over the years on several shows, including DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD, PEG + CAT, WILD KRATTS and NATURE CAT, and it's exciting to take our partnership to the next level. The PBS KIDS team is best-in-class at what they do, and showcasing LUNA AROUND THE WORLD across their various platforms will have tremendous reach with kids."
Along with the television series, LUNA AROUND THE WORLD will offer digital content for kids, parents and teachers, debuting in fall 2018. LUNA AROUND THE WORLD games will be available at pbskids.org and on the free PBS KIDS Games App, along with clips and full episodes streaming across PBS KIDS' video platforms, including the free PBS KIDS Video App. A LUNA AROUND THE WORLD app will also launch after the series' debut. Parent resources, including tips and hands-on activities to extend the learning at home, will be available on the PBS Parents site, and PBS LearningMedia will offer classroom-ready materials for teachers, including video excerpts, games, teaching tips and printable activities.
Each episode of LUNA AROUND THE WORLD will include two 11-minute stories as well as interstitial content - including live-action segments about arts and cultures, and animated folktales and songs. The series is currently in production of 38 half-hour episodes and a one-hour special.

"Civilizations," a PBS and BBC Co-Production, to Premiere Spring 2018
The new nine-part series tells the story of art from the dawn of human history to the present day - for the first time on a global scale.
[via press release from PBS] CIVILIZATIONS, a PBS and BBC Co-Production, to Premiere Spring 2018
Nine-Part Global Series Explores the Power of Art From Earliest Civilizations to the Present
- From Asia to Latin America, Africa to Europe, America to the Middle East, New Series Examines Human Creativity Across Cultures -
BEVERLY HILLS, CA, July 30, 2017 - Today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, PBS announced CIVILIZATIONS, a new nine-part series presented in partnership with the BBC that tells the story of art from the dawn of human history to the present day - for the first time on a global scale. Inspired by Civilization, Kenneth Clark's landmark 1969 acclaimed series about Western art, this bold new series will reveal the role art and the creative imagination have played in the forging of humanity itself, and introduce a new generation to works of beauty, ingenuity and illumination created across cultures and continents. From the landscape scrolls of classical China and the sculpture of the Olmecs to African bronzes, Japanese prints and French Impressionist paintings, CIVILIZATIONS will explore the wealth of treasures created by cultures around the globe. The principal contributors of the films are art historian and Professor of History and Art History at Columbia University New York, Simon Schama; Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge; and British-Nigerian historian and writer David Olusoga. Joining them will be international artists and experts including Jamal J. Elias, Religious Studies Professor at the University of Pennsylvania; Rebecca Gonzalez-Lauck, National Institute for Anthropology, Mexico; art critic and historian Jonathan Jones; Salima Ikram, Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo; Jay Xu, Director of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; and Maya Jasanoff, Professor of History at Harvard University. CIVILIZATIONS will premiere in spring 2018 on PBS.
In nine episodes, CIVILIZATIONS travels across the globe, visiting such cultural landmarks as the great mosques of Istanbul, the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta in India, and the funeral site of China's first emperor. CIVILIZATIONS explores a sweeping range of topics, including the earliest human cultural artifacts and the representation of the body in art, what happens when different civilizations encounter each other, and the nature of "renaissances" around the world. Underlying the series will be an exploration of the premise that it is through the creative imagination that humanity expresses its most essential self and looks for the fundamental meaning of life.
"This sweeping, visually stunning series follows the thread of creativity through centuries, weaving art and culture, history and humanity," said Bill Gardner, Vice President, Programming and Development, PBS. "The cultural connections CIVILIZATIONS makes reveal that artistic expression has been a powerful and enlightening force since the beginning of humankind. We're thrilled to bring viewers this expansive global showcase of art history at its finest, as only PBS can."
Using the latest film technology, CIVILIZATIONS is filmed on six continents: Africa, Asia, Australasia (Australia, New Zealand, and neighboring islands in the South Pacific Ocean), Europe and North and South America. State-of-the-art drone and camera movement technology, as well as macro photography, will allow viewers to immerse themselves in the extraordinary locations and see the world's treasures in new ways, bringing remote objects up close in order to celebrate detail, craftsmanship and artistry as never before.

The new nine-part series tells the story of art from the dawn of human history to the present day - for the first time on a global scale.
[via press release from PBS] CIVILIZATIONS, a PBS and BBC Co-Production, to Premiere Spring 2018
Nine-Part Global Series Explores the Power of Art From Earliest Civilizations to the Present
- From Asia to Latin America, Africa to Europe, America to the Middle East, New Series Examines Human Creativity Across Cultures -
BEVERLY HILLS, CA, July 30, 2017 - Today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, PBS announced CIVILIZATIONS, a new nine-part series presented in partnership with the BBC that tells the story of art from the dawn of human history to the present day - for the first time on a global scale. Inspired by Civilization, Kenneth Clark's landmark 1969 acclaimed series about Western art, this bold new series will reveal the role art and the creative imagination have played in the forging of humanity itself, and introduce a new generation to works of beauty, ingenuity and illumination created across cultures and continents. From the landscape scrolls of classical China and the sculpture of the Olmecs to African bronzes, Japanese prints and French Impressionist paintings, CIVILIZATIONS will explore the wealth of treasures created by cultures around the globe. The principal contributors of the films are art historian and Professor of History and Art History at Columbia University New York, Simon Schama; Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge; and British-Nigerian historian and writer David Olusoga. Joining them will be international artists and experts including Jamal J. Elias, Religious Studies Professor at the University of Pennsylvania; Rebecca Gonzalez-Lauck, National Institute for Anthropology, Mexico; art critic and historian Jonathan Jones; Salima Ikram, Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo; Jay Xu, Director of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; and Maya Jasanoff, Professor of History at Harvard University. CIVILIZATIONS will premiere in spring 2018 on PBS.
In nine episodes, CIVILIZATIONS travels across the globe, visiting such cultural landmarks as the great mosques of Istanbul, the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta in India, and the funeral site of China's first emperor. CIVILIZATIONS explores a sweeping range of topics, including the earliest human cultural artifacts and the representation of the body in art, what happens when different civilizations encounter each other, and the nature of "renaissances" around the world. Underlying the series will be an exploration of the premise that it is through the creative imagination that humanity expresses its most essential self and looks for the fundamental meaning of life.
"This sweeping, visually stunning series follows the thread of creativity through centuries, weaving art and culture, history and humanity," said Bill Gardner, Vice President, Programming and Development, PBS. "The cultural connections CIVILIZATIONS makes reveal that artistic expression has been a powerful and enlightening force since the beginning of humankind. We're thrilled to bring viewers this expansive global showcase of art history at its finest, as only PBS can."
Using the latest film technology, CIVILIZATIONS is filmed on six continents: Africa, Asia, Australasia (Australia, New Zealand, and neighboring islands in the South Pacific Ocean), Europe and North and South America. State-of-the-art drone and camera movement technology, as well as macro photography, will allow viewers to immerse themselves in the extraordinary locations and see the world's treasures in new ways, bringing remote objects up close in order to celebrate detail, craftsmanship and artistry as never before.
From the stained glass windows of Chartres cathedral to Matisse's cardboard cut-outs, from the great dome of the Suleymaniye mosque to the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, from Hokusai's Wave to Monet's Rouen cathedral series, CIVILIZATIONS goes inside some of the world's greatest museums, historic locations, cathedrals and mosques to provide viewers special access to priceless works of art and architecture.
