For 50 years radio dominated the airwaves and the American consciousness as the first “mass medium.” In Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio, Ken Burns examines the lives of three extraordinary men who shared the primary responsibility for this invention and its early success, and whose genius, friendship, rivalry and enmity interacted in tragic ways. This is the story of Lee de Forest, a clergyman’s flamboyant son, who invented the audion tube; Edwin Howard Armstrong, a brilliant, withdrawn inventor who pioneered FM technology; and David Sarnoff, a hard-driving Russian immigrant who created the most powerful communications company on earth.
Against the backdrop of radio’s “Golden Age,” Empire of the Air relates the history of radio through archival photographs, newsreels of the period and interviews with such well-known radio personalities as the late Sports Commentator Red Barber, Radio Dramatist Norman Corwin and the late Broadcast Historian Erik Barnouw.
Dramatization of the Lucy Maud Montgomery classic Anne of Green Gables
A willful orphan named Anne, a red-haired "exception", arrives at the home of an elderly sister and brother, and wonderful life adventures begin as Anne matures from a skinny, freckled girl into an intriguing young woman. Along the way, she embraces everyone with her imagination and dreams, and the beautiful town of Avonlea will never be the same.
The book is read as a radio play, with an all-star Canadian cast that includes multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award winners. Sandra Oh narrates, Catherine O'Hara is Marilla Cuthbert, Victor Garber plays Matthew Cuthbert, and 17-year-old Michela Luci, an Emmy winner for her role in Dino Dana, takes on the title role of Anne.
Directed by Megan Follows who describes it as an entirely different kind of approach to the novel.
