Program Thirteen: Monuments

Why do some monuments have such enduring fascination?

Writer Ron Suskind and Academy Award-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman present “Prairie Dogs,” a whimsical trip across monument-rich South Dakota, from Mount Rushmore to the Corn Palace.

Jake Johannsen wages a campaign to place the current president on Mount Rushmore as recompense for the country’s failure to deliver him a majority of the popular vote last November.
