Sharon La Cruise's film explores how Daisy Bates, a black feminist who stubbornly refused to be cowed by either black men or white mobs, managed to spur the desegregation of Little Rock schools.
Whether you’re looking forward to the characters we’ve come to love (and in some cases hate), the human drama unfolding upstairs and down, a happy ending for the Bateses (we can only hope), Dame Maggie’s clever quips, or everything that 'Downton Abbey' has served up over the past five years, be sure to watch the final season premiere on Sunday January 3rd on your local PBS station.
The tone of the documentary is not “I am woman hear me roar.” Instead, it is a collection of revealing mini-memoirs in which the pain of rejection, longing and loss, and the stress of complex lives are expressed in fifteen singular ways. It’s not always pretty, but it is real.
BBC2's six-part series "Wolf Hall," based on the tumultuous life of Thomas Cromwell, second in power to Henry VIII, premieres at the same hour this Sunday as "Mad Men." DVR time!
