The bandits. Desperados who terrorized Big Bend ranches and settlements. The bootleggers. The shadows of the Big Bend who played a deadly cat and mouse game with lawmen. The businessmen. Ranchers, miners and fur trappers who wrestled their livelihoods from the forbidding landscape. In this hour-long program the rich history of this unique region comes alive. You’ll hear the old-timers tell their stories. You’ll see hundreds of old photographs. You’ll meet the mysterious messengers of the Big Bend who flashed secret signals to each other, as well as the native plant healers who were known as the doctors of the area. Finally, you’ll encounter the train robbers and outlaws who kept the sheriffs busy and local folks guessing. This is the story of the men and women who lived and died here, who called the Big Bend home.

Halfway between documentary, speculative fiction and experimental cinema, POTENTIAL HISTORY starts from the fact that there is a past that is not reflected in official histories. A critical reading of archives is thus required to tell the stories that are not documented. The film appropriates a concept developed by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay to narrate the ‘potential history’ of Francesc Tosquelles, a Catalan psychiatrist and refugee from the Spanish civil war who ran a provincial hospital in France during the Nazi occupation. Revolutionary politics from the 1930s opened the way to revolutionizing therapy.

History vs. Hollywood is a television show on the History Channel in the United States. On the show, experts are interviewed on the historical accuracy of a film that is based on a historical event. For example the movie The Last Samurai was featured in one episode in which military historian Geoffrey Wawro, professor of history at the University of North Texas, and director of the university's Barsanti center for military-history, compared the movie with the actual events. On the show the expert guests discuss the factual accuracy of the film as well as the everyday objects that a person of the particular time period would have seen. In some episodes an expert or the host will go on a journey to the actual historical sites depicted in the film, or interview someone who witnessed the event firsthand. In each of the more than dozen episodes both expert guests and filmmakers will discuss the historical accuracy of the film dramatized. The series was first released in 1999, and had been produced on a semi-regular basis continuing through at least 2005. The program was conceived and created by producer Steven Jack who also directed a majority of the episodes. Although the hour long programs were made for television most episodes were shot on 35mm film which heightened its authentic looking recreations and aided in earning critical praise for its efforts to both entertain and educate.
