Sunday,
April 6 at 2:30pm, at Nauticus in Norfolk, WHRO will
host a special 45-minute preview screenings of Carrier, a new PBS series about
life on an aircraft carrier. The screenings are free and open to the public,
and will feature question and answer periods with Executive Producer/Director Maro Chermayeff and Producer Jeff
Dupre.
Carrier is a character driven, edge-of-your-seat nonfiction, and a once-in-a-lifetime total immersion into the high-stakes
world of a nuclear aircraft carrier. Carrier follows a core group of film
participants about the USS NIMITZ, from the admiral of the strike group to the
fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts
about their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, rights of passage, and the
war on terror.
The USS NIMITZ is 24 stories high, three football fields long, and carries more
than 5,000 Navy personnel and 85 military aircraft. The carrier was built in
Hampton Roads at the Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock
Company (now Northrop Grumman.) Her keel was laid on June 22, 1968; she was
launched on May 13, 1972, and commissioned on May 3, 1975.
Carrier will be seen on WHRO TV15 and WHRO 15.1HD each evening from April 27
through May 1, from 9 to 11pm, and again from 11 to 1am.
It will repeat on Saturday, May 3, from 10am to 8pm.
Local broadcast of Carrier is made possible in part by support from Checkered
Flag Motor Car Company, Inc. and Navy Federal Credit Union.
Please contact Nauticus at 664.1000 for more
