Mulkey to host watch party for PBS American Buffalo documentary

Panhandle PBS will co-host with the Mulkey Theatre an in-person watch party for Ken Burns’ new two-part documentary “The American Buffalo” on October 16 and 17 from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Episode One – “Blood Memory” will be October 16 and is a look at how America’s national mammal, once numbering in the tens of millions, was driven to the brink of extinction with startling swiftness.

Episode Two – “Into the Storm” will be October 17 will look at how the buffalo survived. By the late 1880s a diverse and unlikely collection of Americans start a movement that rescues the mammal from extinction – a lesser-known part of the story.
