History Programming Is a significant portion of all documentary programming, and is a particular passion of Rod’s. More than half of “Two Rivers” covers the history of white and Northwest Native American relations during the 1800’s.
It was a delightful project, and brought to light interesting and fascinating information. Not many people know for example, of the cordial and receptive attitude towards whites by Natives in the Northwest - Until manifest destiny and white racism began dominating life here at the turn of the century.
This link connects to a portfolio of clips from several history sequences Rod wrote, produced, and directed, which demonstrate his ability to research and present information accurately, and produce effective and memorable dramatizations of historic material. |
