KRCB Wins Outreach Grant

To spark dialogue, engage viewers, and increase public awareness of

the documentary, “ROLLING,†and the rights of people with

disabilities, Thirteen/WNET announced community outreach grants to

public television stations across the country last fall. Five

stations, including KRCB Public Television, were awarded grants of

$4,000.00 to create community events and awareness campaigns centered

on the film and local resources.

In January, 2008, producers and Levitt Waxman will begin

taping people in wheelchairs discussing their lives for 30-second

spots to air on KRCB television and radio, leading up to

“ROLLING’s†broadcast in April.

In April, 2008, “ROLLING†will anchor the first Best Seat in the

House Festival, coming to KRCB Public Television, Radio,

www.BestSeatFest.org, and to various venues throughout the San

Francisco Bay.

The public will be encouraged to submit stories, thoughts, photos,

video, or questions to a website discussion board, moderated by the

people who participated in the television and radio spots, as well as

the filmmakers.

More information will be made available at www.BestSeatFest.org as it

becomes available.
