Montana PBS documentary
wins national award

The Montana PBS historical documentary “Evelyn Cameron: Pictures from a Worthy Life” has received national recognition. The show earned a CINE Golden Eagle Award. The Washington, D.C.-based awards program honors the highest production standards in filmmaking and videography.

The Evelyn Cameron documentary was judged in the biography category. Other biographies that were honored featured singing legends B.B. King and Bob Dylan and authors Ernest Hemingway and Willa Cather.

Evelyn Cameron photographed eastern Montana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leaving a legacy of thousands of photographs and extensive diaries about pioneer life in Montana.

“It’s been wonderful to share Evelyn Cameron’s story with people around the country and get such positive feedback,” Montana PBS producer John Twiggs said.

The Cameron program was produced by Twiggs with associate producer Alison Perkins and Montana PBS photographers Gus Chambers and Ray Ekness.
