Broadcast Premier of 'Broken Places' on PBS [pbs.org]

 

From Public Broadcasting Service, March 3, 2020

Peabody Award-winning and two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Roger Weisberg teams up with WNET’s Chasing the Dream public media initiative on his 33rd national public television documentary Broken Places, premiering on April 6 at 10 PM on PBS (check local listings).

WNET is presenting Producer/Director Roger Weisberg’s 33rd national public television documentary, Broken Places on April 6th. This poignant production represents the culmination of four decades of bringing PBS viewers powerful stories of young people struggling to overcome adversity. Over the years, Weisberg noticed that “one question emerged from all of my documentaries about children at risk: Why are some children severely damaged by early trauma while others are able to thrive?” Ernest Hemingway had a powerful way of addressing this question in A Farewell to Arms where he wrote, “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” Hemingway’s observation about adversity and resilience inspired the title of Weisberg’s film and captured the central theme he addresses in Broken Places.
