When – and how – did the first stars and galaxies form? And can we see the fingerprints of life in the atmospheres of distant worlds–or even within our own solar system? 54 minutes.

Hosted by sports icon and champion of equality Billie Jean King\, the film weaves together the first-hand stories of eight icons to discuss how Title IX and their own achievements forever changed the course of women’s sports. \nThe interviews pair an athlete at the top of her game today with an athlete whose achievements helped pave the way for those who followed. The pairings include Billie Jean King and flag football star Diana Flores; basketball legend Nancy Lieberman and Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim; soccer star and World Cup winner Julie Foudy and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee; and track and field world-record holder Jackie Joyner-Kersee with four-time tennis Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka. \nThese far-reaching and dynamic conversations showcase the perseverance\, pain\, and progress of women who dared to challenge the system\, defy conventional norms and change the games we love forever. Groundbreakers celebrates the advancements of women in sports and society\, while also revealing the generational mentorship and community building that has fueled the progress made alongside the ongoing pursuit of equality for women everywhere. \n1h 55 min.

Although most listeners understood that the program was a radio drama\, the next day’s headlines reported that thousands of others plunged into panic\, convinced that America was under a deadly Martian attack. It turned out to be H.G. Wells’ classic The War of the Worlds\, performed by 23-year-old Orson Welles. \nFeaturing interviews with film director and cinema historian Peter Bogdanovich\, Welles’s daughter Chris Welles Feder\, and other authors and experts\, as well as dramatizations of some of the thousands of letters sent to Welles by an alternately admiring and furious public\, War of the Worlds explores how Welles’s ingenious use of the new medium of radio struck fear into an already anxious nation. \n<> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

Johnson was the most unlikely champion of Civil Rights. But his actions in the White House told a different story when he dared to champion two laws that changed America and the world – the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now\, fifty years later\, JFK & LBJ: A Time for Greatness sheds light on the fascinating story of a president who knew how to harness the nation’s grief over John F. Kennedy’s assassination\, twist arms\, and get his way. The film includes rarely-seen footage\, secret White House tapes\, and personal testimony from LBJ’s advisors\, biographers\, friends\, and family.\n60 min.\, NR. \n<> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

But behind the myth of the game’s creation is an untold tale of theft\, obsession\, and corporate double-dealing. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers\, Monopoly’s secret history is a surprising saga that features a radical feminist\, a community of Quakers in Atlantic City\, America’s greatest game company\, and an unemployed Depression-era engineer. And the real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light if it weren’t for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist. \nPart detective story\, part sharp social commentary\, and part pop-culture celebration\, Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History presents the fascinating true story behind America’s favorite game. \n\n\n\n75 min.\, NR. \n<>\n——-\nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

There are almost 300 species of squirrels that can glide through the air\, outwit rattlesnakes\, and survive the coldest temperatures of any mammal.

From its inception just prior to American involvement in World War II\, the USO has remained steadfastly committed to its mission of increasing morale amongst our servicemen and women. USO: For the Troops conveys the fast pace and complex logistics of a modern USO tour\, and underlines the importance of the organization not just for service people\, but for America as a whole. \nWhile some aspects of war have greatly changed\, the need for connection\, entertainment\, and care within our armed forces has not. Interviews with past performers and celebrities are interspersed with moving first-person accounts from veterans and historians who discuss the USO’s mission and impact. By showcasing the horrors of war alongside the morale-building activities of the USO and its volunteers\, this film creates a comprehensive view of the lasting impact of the USO and shares new insights into American culture and the realities American soldiers face while overseas. \nRuntime is 60 min.

Dick Cavett’s Watergate is an intensely personal\, intimate\, and entertaining look back at Watergate and the historic resignation of President Richard Milhous Nixon\, the only U.S. president to resign the office. \nDick Cavett was at the forefront of national TV coverage\, interviewing nearly every major Watergate figure as the crisis unfolded. With exclusive access to the archive of the show\, Dick Cavett’s Watergate documents the scandal in the words of the people who lived it: the botched burglary at the Democratic National Headquarters\, the must-see TV of the daily Congressional Watergate hearings\, and the ongoing behind-the-scenes battle between the White House and The Dick Cavett Show. \nRuntime is 55 min.
