Kinsey documentary set to air on PBS in February

Kinsey

American Experience, the PBS history series produced by WGBH Boston, is completing filming for a 90-minute documentary on the life and work of Alfred Kinsey. The show is scheduled to air in mid-February.

Executive producers are Steve Krahnke, director of national program development at PBS-affiliate WTIU in Bloomington and a lecturer at the IU Department of Telecommunications, and Catherine Allan of Twin Cities Public Television.

The project has been in the works since 2002, and is the first American TV documentary to be granted full access to the extensive collection of research materials at the Kinsey Institute. Interviews include Kinsey biographers James H. Jones and Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy; former institute director Dr. John Bancroft; Kinsey’s daughters, Anne Kinsey Call and Joan Kinsey Reid; and T. C. Boyle, author of The Inner Circle, a new novel based on Kinsey’s life.
