Video Descriptions
Specials and Documentaries | Promo | Free Chol Soo Lee
Sentenced to life for a 1973 San Francisco murder, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was set free after a pan-Asian solidarity movement, which included Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Americans, helped to overturn his conviction. After 10 years of fighting for his life inside California state prisons, Lee found himself in a new fight to rise to the expectations of the people who believed in him.
Specials and Documentaries | Promo | Soldiers Home - Women Founders
We have a group of women to thank for Milwaukee Soldiers Home, the National Historic Landmark that still today serves veterans with medical care and housing among other resources. Of course back in the late 19th century, women weren't allowed to enlist in the military but that didn't prevent them from enlisting to the cause. Tending to returning Civil War veterans was how they served. Today's veterans salute the legacy of these women. Learn more about them tomorrow when we release the first episode of our digital series "The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home."
10thirtysix | Exclusive | The Secret War: Hmong Soldiers Who Served Alongside Americans in Vietnam
An often overlooked perspective from the Vietnam War is from the Hmong, the largest Asian population in southeast Wisconsin. We look back at their stories of war, how and why they aided American troops, their daunting stories of escape from Laos and why these soldiers are so grateful to the United States. 10thirtysix: www.milwaukeepbs.org/local-programs/10thirtysix/ www.pbs.org/show/10thirtysix/ Subscribe to Milwaukee PBS on YouTube ►► bit.ly/2pESb9F Support 10thirtysix and Milwaukee PBS by becoming a member! ►► bit.ly/35UGfB6 ABOUT 10THIRTYSIX Compelling stories and documentaries about local issues, successes, and the people living and working in our southeast Wisconsin communities.

Mettle & Honor: Vietnam | Program |
[Original Airdate: September 18, 2017] Mark Concannon talks to Wisconsin veterans who served in America's most controversial war. We meet a Milwaukee attorney who was among the first U.S. forces to take part in the conflict. Milwaukee TV personality John Malan recounts how he was wounded in a tank battle. A medic discusses witnessing the last moments of life for men who had become close friends. Learn more about the Southeast Asian battlefront through the eyes of Wisconsin vets who risked their lives serving their country, but often were not recognized for their bravery and instead were ostracized for being part of the divisive conflict.
