#PRIDE2020 - Jade in the wild pride jungle - PBS Celebrates Pride Month With PRIDELAND One-Hour Special & Digital Series
PBS is celebrating LGTBQ+ Pride Month with the launch of PRIDELAND a new one-hour special and short-form digital series following host and actor Dyllón Burnside (from FX’s Pose) on a journey across the South.
The six-episode, short-form series will launch on PBS Voices, a new documentary-focused YouTube Channel by PBS Digital Studios, that began on Thursday, May 26.
A one-hour companion special, also hosted by Burnside, premiered on Friday, June 12 at 9:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS, PBS.org, and the PBS Video App.
PBS will also air an encore presentation of The Lavender Scare, the gripping documentary that tells the untold story of how tens of thousands of homosexual federal workers were either fired or denied employment in the 1950s, stirring outrage in the gay community and starting an LGBTQ rights movement with an unlikely hero at the forefront.
The acclaimed documentary (winner of 16 awards for Best Documentary) was aired on PBS on Friday, June 12 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
