ARLINGTON, VA - September 18, 2017 - In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and as part of its yearlong commitment to celebrating the diversity of our nation, PBS today announced programs that commemorate the experiences, culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans who have shaped Latino - and American - history.
With captivating performances, new and encore episodes from popular series, and the 30th ANNUAL HISPANIC HERITAGE AWARDS, among the country's highest honors to Latinos by Latinos, PBS' rich programming lineup aims to broaden viewers' understanding of Hispanic Americans through a display of diverse talents both in front of and behind the camera.
PBS is always in search of programming that showcases and reflects the unique perspectives and contributions of all in our society, said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming. We are committed to bringing audiences a primetime lineup that is representative of the many cultures, generations and genres of a diverse America and to sharing those stories and viewpoints year-round.
BALLET HISPANICO, now available for streaming on pbs.org, focuses on two iconic works from the country's premier Latino dance company, CARMEN.maquia, a modern take on Bizet's passionate opera, and Club Havana, the reimagining of a sizzling nightclub in Havana from Cuban-born choreographer Pedro Ruiz. In addition, on October 6, GREAT PERFORMANCES and VOCES present Havana Time Machine, a musical journey through today's Cuba featuring the Grammy-winning Raul Malo of The Mavericks.
Following Havana Time Machine on October 6, PBS will air the 30thANNUAL HISPANIC HERITAGE AWARDS (check local listings). The program features top Latino performers and personalities paying tribute to honorees including Luis Fonsi, Gael Garc a Bernal, The Latin Recording Academy, NASCAR's Alba Col n, Rudy Beserra and the nation's DREAMER community. The Hispanic Heritage Awards were created by the White House in 1988 to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month in America.
PBS also presents new episodes from the Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning series CRAFT IN AMERICA. Celebrating 10 years on PBS, the new season brings two new episodes, Borders and Neighbors, which explore the connections between Mexico and the Unites States through craft. CRAFT IN AMERICA premieres on Friday, September 29.
In addition, PBS announced earlier this year that it has acquired North American distribution rights for Dolores, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the US Documentary Competition category. Dolores sheds light on one of the most important, yet least-known, activists in American history - Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez and who continues to work for justice today at 87. Through a partnership of PBS, PBS Distribution, PBS documentary series INDEPENDENT LENS and Latino Public Broadcasting, the film is currently in theatrical release and will make its broadcast premiere on INDEPENDENT LENS in 2018.
Hispanic Heritage Month Digital Resources on PBS.org
PBS.org features a Hispanic Heritage Month Online Collection to connect viewers to new programs, films and digital features that are streaming online - and highlight the stories, history and culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans.
Viewers and fans can join the celebration on social media by following the hashtag #MiHistoria and sharing their own stories - of people, places, memories that are important to them - with PBS. All submissions using the hashtag #MiHistoria (and tag @PBS) will be aggregated onto PBS.org and shared across PBS platforms to help celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Working closely with Latino Public Broadcasting, WORLD Channel and partners from American Documentary, the campaign aspires to educate and excite audiences about Latino identity and culture, and connects them to relevant programs in public media.
Hispanic Heritage Month Resources for Kids, Parents & Teachers
This fall, PBS KIDS will kick off Hispanic Heritage Month with an all-new episode of The Fred Rogers Company's PEG + CAT, featuring the voices of Latin Grammy-nominated Mariachi Flor de Toloache in their first-ever animated appearance. The Pig Problem/The Mariachi Problem premieres September 15 on PBS stations and PBS KIDS streaming platforms. PBS KIDS also offers a variety of bilingual games and apps with Spanish and English options - including the new Daniel Tiger's Storybooks App. Families can visit pbskids.org/games/spanish for more fun and learning with their favorite characters. In addition, parent resources, including book and activity recommendations, are available on PBS Parents.
PBS LearningMedia makes it easy for teachers to integrate Hispanic Heritage Month into their lessons with a trove of curriculum-aligned videos, activities and lesson plans. These resources are designed to help students deepen their awareness of Hispanic American and Latino artists, educators, icons and everyday people while also building a foundational understanding of the Spanish language. Featured resources in PBS LearningMedia include Hispanic Heritage Month; Oh Noah!; Latino Americans; The Latino Public Broadcasting Collection; America By the Numbers; and The Supplemental Spanish Collection; and on iTunes, the Beginning Spanish iBook.
