- Description
- In a case that has been closed, with no crime scene and virtually no physical evidence, how do you even begin to imagine a list of potential suspects? Jessica Miller and Lance Salls go back to the beginning and scrutinize every interview and report to try to reconstruct the possible fates of the Klein brothers and find, incredibly, there are still avenues to pursue in this almost 70 year old case.

- Description
- On November 10th, 1951 Kenny, David, and Danny left for Farview Park. When their oldest brother, Gordon, went to fetch them for dinner, they were nowhere to be found. The resulting search would raise more questions than answers and would be the beginning of a lifelong saga for the Klein family.
In the premiere episode of Twin Cities PBS' first documentary podcast, author and host Jack El-Hai breaks down what happened on the day in 1951 when three brothers from Minneapolis disappeared and the ensuing search for answers.

- Important Moments in Minnesota's LGBTQ+ History | Full Documentary
- Runtime
- 1:56:41
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- “Out North: MNLGBTQ History" explores the untold past of Minnesota's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community and celebrates the strides the state has made since the gay liberation movement began in the 1970s.
The film lifts up the stories of well-known and largely unknown LGBTQ Minnesotans who found each other and spoke out when it was a tremendous risk to do so. The film explores some of the important ways that Minnesota has played a significant role in the national movement for LGBTQ equality. As part of Twin Cities PBS’ important body of work on Minnesota’s history, the film explores the past through people and place, personal moments and major milestones. Rather than chronicling politics and policy, these stories tilt toward the human, lived experience.
