PBS Looks At PD And P D-S

Here is a short trailer for the PBS documentary "Matter of Mind, My Parkinson's. It follows the attempts of three people and their families to cope with the progressive, disabling and incurable neurological condition. The film won the Audience Choice Award for documentaries at the recent San Francisco Film Festival, possibly due to a scenery-chewing performance by yours truly in the role of "Guy From Up In Alaska Somewhere Who Has Parkinson's." Or possibly because it is a well-made true tale of hope sort of triumphing over long odds. You can decide for yourself on April 8th, when it will be broadcast nation-wide on the PBS Independent Lens series. #ParkinsonsDisease #Documentary #StructureFilms. #hope #DBSSurgery

 My new book "Nuking Alaska" is to be published June 6. It's a combination of memoir and history, about growing up on the front lines of the Cold War. It features all your Cold War Favorites: Mad scientists, Soviet Bombers and submarines, and scheming politicians.

 

Former Anchorage Daily News editor Howard Weaver called it "A tour-de-force history of Alaska's atomic legacy"

Jack Ohman. Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Sacramento Bee said "Peter Dunlap-Shohl is an absolute genius and an artistic master."

Novelist Don Reardon said it is "An explosive, devastating, and bone-shaking revelation."
