The UnknownWednesday, July 24
12:00 am on UEN-TV 9.1The Discovery Road Show is bringing forward a unique view of 1860s era pioneers who came to Utah but did not stay with the release of "The Unknown". Around the time the U.S. Army nearly clashed with Brigham Young families started packing their bags for the west coast. The intrigue comes in figuring what prompted the families to leave the state for California. Religious beliefs, family struggles, economics or dreams for a better life in the Golden State of California are some of the reasons born out in the documentary. Following two women determined to find their unknown roots the show takes on a detective feel as they search for answers. Discovery Road also reveals an amazing rock wall in the middle of Nevada built to honor the pioneers who struggled to reach their dreams in California. The two ladies experience the old west as it is today by panning for gold, visiting museums and traveling along the historic trails. The old west stagecoach makes an appearance in this show with a little known story about a driver who fooled nearly everyone. "The Unknown" offers the audience an entertaining and bouncy ride to the past and reveals just how much history is not known about most family stories. -

Paradise on the PrairieWednesday, July 17
12:00 am on UEN-TV 9.1The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPNHA) and Discovery Road are bringing forward several years of interviews, taping and original research to present "Paradise on the Prairie" about the ill-fated Jewish Colony in Clarion, Utah. Interviews with descendants of the Jewish Colony reveal the family story for viewers. Discovery Road also interviewed the Academy Award winning producer Gerald Molen. Molen received an Oscar as Producer for Schindler's List, the epic movie about Polish-Jews saved from the holocaust. "If we think about what they went through, it would probably be no different than the Mormons, when they went looking for a place they could have peace and thrive and prosper with their families. They tried, my hats off to them for having tried." Molen said about the people of Clarion in an interview with Discovery Road. "A key piece of this story is the coming together of two peoples— Jews and Mormons. They came together in 1911 and 1912 when Jewish farmers needed help. They were absolutely inexperienced. They were from the cities, and the Mormon farmers came out and shared their experience with the Jews. And that example of cooperation has been carried on for a hundred years since," said Dr. Robert A. Goldberg, author of "Back to the Soil: The Jewish Farmers of Clarion, Utah, and Their World," the definitive work on Clarion. Goldberg is also interviewed for the show. "Paradise" also shows a movie crew working on a film about Clarion. The writer of "Jewtah" discusses why he is telling the story of the colony that no longer exists. The experience of the back-to-the-soil colonists continues to amaze those who hear about it, including the movie world. ________________________________________ -
