KRCB Programming for December

To mark World AIDS Day on December 1st, KRCB Public Media presents “The Grove” and a special edition of “In the Life” on Television 22, as well as “Outbeat” on Radio FM 91.

•  Thursday, December 1 at 9:00pm – The Grove

More Americans have been lost to AIDS than in all the U.S. wars since 1900. And the pandemic has killed 22 million people worldwide. But few know about the existence of the National AIDS Memorial, a seven-acre grove hidden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

“The Grove” chronicles this garden's transformation from a neglected eyesore to landscaped sanctuary to national memorial. The film shows how a community in crisis found healing and remembrance, and how the seeds of a few visionary environmentalists blossomed into something larger than they could have imagined. As the Grove's stakeholders seek broader public recognition through an international design competition, a battle erupts over what constitutes an

appropriate memorial for the AIDS pandemic. What does it mean to be a national memorial? And how do we mark a time of unimaginable loss? http://www.openeyepictures.com/thegrove/
