PPB documentary on Dorgan

A cinema verite-style chronicle of two days in the life of former North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan will premiere on Prairie Public at 8 p.m. Monday.

The Prairie Public television crew shadowed Dorgan through his daily routine to film “Byron Dorgan in the Halls of Congress.”

The one-hour documentary follows Dorgan as he’s engaged in legislation, committee meetings and public meetings and speeches typical in his daily Washington, D.C., schedule.

Dorgan spent 30 years in Congress, representing North Dakota in the House of Representatives and then the Senate.

Prairie Public Broadcasting, headquartered in Fargo, is a non-profit organization and community licensee that provides public television services throughout North Dakota, northwestern Minnesota, southern Manitoba, and parts of Montana and South Dakota, and public radio service to North Dakota.
