This Saturday, local PBS station KBDI will feature Shared History, a documentary by Boulder filmmaker Felicia Furman. The program is being aired as part of the station’s observance of Black History Month. According to the Shared History site, “This one-hour television documentary is about the complicated contemporary and historical connection among black and white families who are now or have been associated with Woodlands Plantation, located in Midway, South Carolina, in a relationship spanning more than 260 years.”
