Story: Three Days at Crane”
[Situated in the high desert of southeastern Oregon, Crane Union High serves some of the
most remote homes and ranches in the state. Crane serves a district of some 7500 square
miles and draws its student body from as far as 150 miles away, yet has fewer than one
hundred students in an average year. This is one of the oldest residential public schools
in the U.S., and its student body, like the school itself, is unique. For three long days, our
camera crews recorded student life at and around the school and supplied small video
cameras to the students to shoot additional footage of their own. The result is this
“snapshot” of a small and fascinating community.]

sector is in big trouble in rural Oregon. Doctors, nurses, dentists and other providers are
in critically short supply here. And as rural populations grow older and poorer, the task
of recruiting medical professionals gets ever more difficult. The quality of health care
itself may be in jeopardy, and this program confronts these problems head-on. Northwest

Presenter: Eric Cain, Director, Producer, Writer, Oregon Public Television: “The Oregon
Story: Agricultural Workers”
[Agricultural workers have played a significant role in Oregon’s economic success for
more than 140 years, but their contributions have gone largely unrecognized. And while
these farmworkers, cannery workers and tree planters are vital to the state’s economy,
few know much about these peoples’ occupations and experiences, or even the people
themselves. Combining extensive archival material with personal accounts, scholarly
commentary and an original sound track, “The Oregon Story: Agricultural Workers”
portrays the diverse history of this sometimes-migrant population from the late 1800’s to
the present day. Northwest Regional EMMY - “Best Director”]
