PBS documentary on Great Lakes

A multi-part documentary for PBS meant to heighten awareness of the Great Lakes nationally and internationally was the subject of a gathering of nearly 100 individuals with a commitment to the cause earlier this week in Ann Arbor.

The documentary will be based on Michigan author Jerry Dennis' award-winning 2003 book The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas.

Shot with state-of-the-art, high-definition equipment, the series will be produced by Boston-based multi-Emmy Award winner Linda Harrar and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sue Marx of Birmingham, Mich. The presenting partner is PBS station WTTW in Chicago, in conjunction with Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.
