    So when will the documentary be aired on PBS and will it be nationwide?

    Hi Tom. I believe the party coincides with the PBS screening of the film: Monday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m., as stated in the news release. I’m not sure what availability will be for a national audience. If you contact the Center of Cultural Preservation folks, they might be able to provide more detail on that.
