Friday, November 22 at 8 pm on KRCB TV in the North Bay. This documentary is a solution-oriented story about the residents of Billings, Montana as they stood together for neighbors who were under attack by white supremacists. Determined not to let hate groups take away the town, the community reacted quickly and strongly to the appearance of hate flyers, knowing that if they didn't respond it would be assumed that they accepted this activity. Responding to a series of hate crimes and an incident of anti-Semitic activity in which a cinder block was thrown through a window with a menorah in it, the editor of the Billings Gazette printed a full-page picture of a menorah and recommended that everyone place one in their own windows as a sign of solidarity. When a Native American's home was vandalized with spray-painted slurs, the community moved into action with volunteer clean-ups. When an African American church was threatened, people from all denominations and races attended the church. To continue their work to strengthen their community against racial intolerance, many people in Billings attended community watches, marches, and ecumenical services.

Monday, November 18 at 7 pm on KPJK TV in the South Bay. A story of passion, opportunity, heartbreak, and triumph of the human spirit. Set in the overwhelmingly white world of classical dance, it tells the stories of several black women from different generations who fell in love with ballet. Sixty years ago, while pursuing their dreams of careers in classical dance, Joan Myers Brown, Delores Browne, and Raven Wilkinson (the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo's first black ballerina) confronted racism, exclusion, and unequal opportunity in segregated mid-century America. In 2015, three young black women also pursue careers as ballerinas and find that many of the same obstacles their predecessors faced are still evident in the ballet world today. Through interviews with current and former ballet dancers along with engaging archival photos and film, the one-hour documentary uses the ethereal world of ballet to engage viewers on a subject that reaches far outside the art world and compels viewers to think about larger issues of exclusion, equal opportunity, and change.
