Moyers’ Chinese American Documentary

The often superb documentary filmmaker, Bill Moyers, will be airing his documentary, “Becoming American: The Chenese Experience,” on PBS March 25-27. Read about the documentary at TV Barn or at the official PBS site here.

Dwight Garner of the New York Times says in an article about Moyers: “His documentaries and specials roll off the PBS schedule as if from an assembly line, each stamped with the virtues he embodies: they’re thoughtful, upright and high-minded and glow with a kind of secular piety. They’re both fortifying and numbing, the television version of eating your spinach. He’s television’s Al Gore.”
