Thursday night we will be watching the first two episodes, "Awakenings" and "Fighting Back". As promised, here are a couple links for those who would like more background information on the film.
The US public television station, PBS, which first broadcast the film in 1987, continues to maintain a resource database on the web for teachers using the film series in school. There is a wealth of related links on this site, including photographs, documents, and maps.
Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri) has a site on their library website that gives a brief summary of each of the episodes in the series. Also on their website is a comprehensive list of people interviewed for the film, with links to transcripts of the interviews, in many cases.
