CROSSROADS OF A NATION: MISSOURI'S RHYTHM, ROADS & ROOTS explores how Missouri's cultural contributions helped shape the very identity of America. Positioned at the center of the country, the state became not only a crossroads of commerce and migration but also of creativity and tradition. The freedom of the open road found its most enduring image in Route 66, stretching from St. Louis westward into the horizon. Alongside these roads rose the sounds of a nation in the making: blues pouring out of St. Louis clubs, jazz rhythms taking root in Kansas City and country twang echoing through the Ozarks. These musical traditions, born of hardship and hope, would go on to shape the soundtrack of the 20th century. Missouri's influence didn't stop with music. From the smoky aroma of barbecue pits to the rise of craft brewing and local beer, the state cultivated flavors that became cornerstones of American cuisine. Kansas City barbecue came to embody not just a style of cooking but a way of gathering, celebrating and passing down heritage. Baseball diamonds across the state, from the Negro Leagues in Kansas City to the Cardinals' legendary dynasty in St. Louis, offered a stage where stories of triumph, struggle and community played out before a national audience. Through vivid stories, archival imagery and expert voices, CROSSROADS OF A NATION: MISSOURI'S RHYTHM, ROADS & ROOTS reveals how the state's culture radiated far beyond its borders. This is a story of how traditions born in the heartland became woven into the fabric of American identity. Missouri did not merely reflect the nation; it helped define it, turning crossroads into culture and everyday life into an enduring legacy.

7:00 PM | In Their Hands
Ronnie Carrasquillo appears destined to die in prison. 47 years after he killed a plainclothes police officer, his life is in the hands of a parole board whose decision-making is swayed by shifting political sands and an ever-present police union. As Ronnie's family and attorneys fight for his freedom, they keep coming back to the same question: "is this any way to decide a man's fate?" The documentary IN THEIR HANDS tells Ronnie's story and sheds light on parole boards and the elected officials who appoint parole board members. In a surprising third act, the film also explores the reverberations of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that, in light of modern brain science, ruled that a mandatory life sentence for a juvenile constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. More broadly, it is a story about how the modern politics of crime and punishment can force levelheaded Americans to abandon their beliefs about redemption and personal transformation.

7:00 PM | American Experience – Clearing The Air: The War On Smog
In the summer of 1943, a thick noxious haze of smog enveloped the Los Angeles region. Residents complained of burning eyes and lungs, and some experienced nausea. The physical distress caused by the haze was so bad that many feared it was a Japanese chemical warfare attack. Over the next several years, the problem reached crisis proportions. Farmers began complaining of discolored lettuce, wilted crops, and dying produce. Many suspected emissions from sulfur-emitting factories had caused the foul air, but a chemist at the California Institute of Technology had a different theory. Arie Haagen-Smit determined that the smog was the result of sunlight breaking down incompletely burned gasoline and other hydrocarbons found in car emissions. Meanwhile, across the country, toxicologist Mary Amdur made a disturbing discovery: the combined effects of air pollutants, even when not lethal, she determined, could cause permanent damage to lungs. Both Haagen-Smit and Amdur would suffer reprisals from entrenched industries threatened by their discoveries, but as the 1950s progressed, ordinary citizens became active in the fight to address air pollution across the country until, in 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Clean Air Act, one of the nation's first environmental laws. War on Smog will tell the story of the epic struggle against airborne toxins that lead to a national reckoning about air quality and the creation of the Clean Air Act.
