Four part documentary “The Progressives” for Bill Moyer’s company Thirteen Productions for PBS. Contributions earning screen credit include extensive consulting (via mailing of documents and reports, email, and conference calling) over a ten-month period totaling approximately 60 hours, including correspondence with Bill Moyers and Emmy award-winning producer Chauna Gazit, plus six hours of taped interviews in New York (all expenses paid) in 2007. Work in 2008 included a one hour meeting with Bill Moyers, and 40 hours of additional consulting (including creation of an 11 page document with 9 attachments). Series was to be broadcast nationally and available via DVD and on the PBS website. However this series, to my great disappointment, has never come to light, as Bill Moyers got too busy with Bill Moyers Journal and Moyers and Company.
