Subject: RE: Buffy St.Marie PBS program From: Thomas Stern Date: 24 Oct 22 - 09:01 PM Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On features never-before-seen archival material, new performance footage and interviews with Sainte-Marie, Joni Mitchell, Sonia Manzano, John Kay, Robbie Robertson, Jackson Browne and others. Over a career spanning six decades, Cree musician, artist and activist Buffy Sainte-Marie has used her platform to campaign for Indigenous and women’s rights and inspired multiple generations of musicians, artists and activists. Following a world premiere at The Toronto International Film Festival in 2022, American Masters – Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On premieres nationwide Tuesday, November 22 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/americanmasters and the PBS Video App in honor of Native American Heritage Month. Directed by Madison Thomas, Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On chronicles Sainte-Marie’s rise in New York’s Greenwich Village folk music scene through her groundbreaking career, featuring interviews with Joni Mitchell (singer, songwriter, artist), Sonia Manzano (Maria on Sesame Street), John Kay (lead singer-songwriter of Steppenwolf, solo artist), Robbie Robertson (musician), Jackson Browne (musician), George Stroumboulopoulos (music journalist), Andrea Warner (author) and more. Sainte-Marie’s career took flight when she received a rave review in The New York Times and caught the eye of Vanguard Records, who released her debut album, It’s My Way. Consistently recognized for being ahead of her time, Sainte-Marie’s music revealed her most sincere opinions differentiating her from the other female pop musicians of the 1960s. Early in her career she spoke out against the Vietnam War with her song “Universal Soldier,” against readily available opioids with “Cod’ine” and shared her views on romance with “Until It’s Time for You to Go,” which has been covered by artists such as Elvis, Barbra Streisand, Cher and Neil Diamond. Sainte-Marie changed perceptions of Indigenous people in music, film and television. When approached to play a lead role in a 1968 episode of The Virginian, she famously demanded that all Indigenous roles be played by Indigenous peoples. Additionally, across her five-year stint on Sesame Street, she was the first woman to nurse on television, and she helped create segments based on her experiences as an Indigenous woman in North America. After winning the Academy Award for writing “Up Where We Belong” from An Officer and a Gentleman with her then husband, Jack Nitzsche, Saint-Marie stepped out of the spotlight. She returned to music after a fourteen-year hiatus with her critically acclaimed album Coincidence and Likely Stories. In 2015, she beat out Drake for the Polaris Music Prize for her album Power in the Blood. At the age of 81, Sainte-Marie actively tours and continues to be an activist for Indigenous rights, including championing efforts to end the oppression of and violence against Indigenous women. |

Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: GUEST,Peter Laban Date: 21 Nov 22 - 09:44 AM I'll stick this Guardian article here: Buffy Sainte-Marie: ‘I didn’t know I was ahead of the pack at the time |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 21 Nov 22 - 01:36 PM Please can someone let us know here when this will be shown in the UK? I can’t see a slot in the PBS schedules this week. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: GUEST,Peter Laban Date: 21 Nov 22 - 01:44 PM At the bottom of the Guardian article I linked above: 'Carry It On premieres on 22 November on PBS with a UK date to be announced' |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: DaveRo Date: 21 Nov 22 - 02:45 PM It can be months before stuff appears in the UK. https://www.pbsamerica.co.uk/ I subscribed to their newsletter; I'll post if it turns up. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: Stilly River Sage Date: 22 Nov 22 - 10:58 PM That program gave a good look at a remarkable woman - activist, artist, performer - and so much more. I need to watch it again, more closely. |

Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: Thomas Stern Date: 23 Nov 22 - 08:17 PM The song UNTIL ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GO was commented upon as a feminist liberation lyric. I wonder if people see it that way, or to the contrary, the adoption of the male aversion to a committed relationship?? Certainly a wide range of relationships are possible and exist, but the traditional view has been that women (more so than men) want a lifetime commitment and family. Any thoughts on this?? Thomas. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Nov 22 - 06:26 PM When I click on this I see the whole length video ready to play. I don't know if you have to sign in to see it (I have a PBS streaming account but it isn't logged in on this browser right now, I don't think.) AMERICAN MASTERS: Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: meself Date: 25 Nov 22 - 06:50 PM I just clicked on it and got, "Sorry, this video is not available" .... |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: MoorleyMan Date: 25 Nov 22 - 07:09 PM Me too! How disappointing... |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: pattyClink Date: 25 Nov 22 - 07:34 PM It does play, seems to be open access now but 'expires 12/20/22'. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Nov 22 - 09:36 PM This is probably the free view for viewers in the US. I suspect it will be available longer for donors who have access to the PBS streaming service. It is a good program, and will be worth the wait, if we can't figure a way to save the file and share it discreetly. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: DaveRo Date: 26 Nov 22 - 03:07 AM It's only available in the US. In the UK we'll need to watch or record it off 'PBS America' on FreeSat/FreeView - see my earlier post. If it's ever broadcast here. It's the same with most US PBS programmes. I tried to watch this Great Performances - Leonard_Bernstein_Mass and asked someone to try a VPN. He said that in the US it redirects to PBS Passport, which is a subscription service: PBS Passport I was willing to subscribe, but it's not available outside the US. |
Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte-Marie PBS program From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Dec 22 - 01:51 PM In the For What It's Worth category, I now see purchase icons on the screen for this video. If you can get it on Amazon for a low amount it's worth it. Otherwise, wait and hope it comes around. Or buy the DVD and share it (converted to your region). |
