KSMQ Public Television, the PBS television station serving 22 counties in southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa, is sponsoring a series of free public screenings of the new Ken Burns movie The Mayo Clinic: Faith – Hope – Science. The movie made its national television premier on PBS stations across the country, including KSMQ Public Television, on September 25.
“Work on this Ken Burns documentary began over three years ago, and many people in the region were involved in the process,” said Eric Olson, President & CEO of KSMQ Public Television. “We believe it is important to hold these community viewings so residents can come together and enjoy the production with each other.”
