Canal Zone
CANAL ZONE, the newest in a series of films pro
duced, directed and edited by Emmy-winner Frederick
Wiseman, will premiere Friday, October 7 on PBS.
Filmed in the ten by fifty-mile strip of Central America
which the U.S. has owned, operated and controlled for
more than sixty years, CANAL ZONE is the eleventh in
Wiseman's series of documentaries on the operation of
American institutions.'
Beginning with a trip through, the Canal onboard a
Japanese freighter laden with automobiles bound for
Europe, CANAL ZONE depicts the daily life of the
American residents, a scenario played out against the
background of the treaty negotiations between the U.S.
and Panama.
Although it departs geographically from the con
tinental U.S., CANAL ZONE is in every way a logical part
of the continuing Wiseman chronicle. The Canal Zone is
like a small city. The main business of the Zone is the
proper functioning of the Canal. The film shows the prin
cipal kinds of events that are involved in the governing of
the Zone and in the operation of the Canal. Meetings in
the Governor's office, the work of the courts, schools,
commissaries and hospitals, the issues debated in com
munity meetings, the technical work involved in the
operation and maintenance of the Canal, and the leisure
activities of the Zonians, are among the events shown.
Recently, after thirteen years of frequently bitter
negotiation, Panamanian and U.S. negotiators signed a
"principle of agreement" on a future Panama Canal trea
ty. If approved by the plebiscite in Panama and by the
U.S. Senate this fall, control of both Canal and Zone will
gradually be yielded to Panama by the year 2000.
As with his other films, CANAL ZONE is filmed in
black and white and has no narrator or commentator to in
terpret the events filmed. Patrick Sullivan, writing nThe
New Republic notes: "Wiseman constructs his films so
that we find ourselves there, with the camera. We are
observers: routine situations, representative sorts of en
counters, conversations, duties, expressions and at
titudes come together to create their own story."

'Papillon,' the incredible but true
story of a convict's harrowing 13-year
ordeal in the hell of Devil's Island,
from Henri 'Papillon' Charriere's
book, will be presented Thursday,
Oct. 6 on CBS-TV. The special stars
Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.
Enroute to Devil's Island, Papillon
meets Louis Dega, an urbane and in
famous counterfeiter. He agrees to
protect Dega in return for money to
finance his escape.
Papillon's first attempt ends in ,
disaster. Betrayed, he is captured
and sentenced to two years in solitary
confinement. Emerging from solitary,
he immediately tries another escape.
This time, Papillon gets as far as Col
ombia before he is captured.
Upon his release from five years'
solitary confinement, Papillon finds
his friend Dega now a broken and
demented old man. But Papillon, his
thirst for freedom unquenchable,
makes new plans to escape or die in
the attempt.

ETVexamines teenage pregnancy
Guess Who 's Pregnant? a probing look
at the epidemic of teenage pregnancies in
the United States, will be rebroadcast on
the Nebraska Educational Television Net
work on Sept. 20 at 9 p.m.
The 60-minute program looks at the
wide spectrum of causes and effects of
adolescent births. It examines what
parents, educators, religious leaders and
various social and governmental agencies
are and are not doing in this area.
Guess Wha's Pregnant? considers the
consequences of childbrearing at an early
age, regardless of legitimacy, the high
mortality rates for mother and child, the
risk of mental retardation and deformities.
It also looks at societal cost of supporting
unwed, unemployed mothers and their
children, the effect on the girl whose
education and earning power is suddenly
cut short, and the gradual destruction of
normal family life. , -
The program reviews current TV com
mercials and popular songs that are sexual
ly suggestive.
