Interview: Walt Disney's America

Media historian Susan Douglas explores how Walt Disney, through his television program and Disneyland, presented Americans with an idealized version of their country. "He's selling a version of America that's very flattering to the country," she says, "[But] it deludes you into thinking that there aren't problems that you have to confront." "Walt Disney" premieres Sep. 14 & 15 on PBS.

Seabiscuit - S15 E11

Premiered On: 04/21/2003

Despite his boxy build, stumpy legs, scraggly tail and ungainly gait, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in history. His wealthy owner, Charles Howard; his silent and stubborn trainer, Tom Smith; and the two gifted jockeys who rode him to glory, turned Seabiscuit into a national hero. Based on the bestselling book by Laura Hillenbrand.
