Made with the assistance of the KOCE-TV Foundation (PBS Television, Huntington Beach), The Legend of Pancho Barnes is directed by Amanda Pope. The main source of materials for this great film is the Pancho Barnes Archive, as unlimited access was granted to the filmmakers in their quest to tell Pancho’s story, by Pancho Barnes Enterprises (who manage the Pancho Barnes Archive & Estate of Pancho Barnes and owns all rights of publicity, copyrights and trademarks associated with Pancho Barnes). THIS FILM WILL BE BROADCAST BY OVER 100 PBS STATIONS NATIONWIDE on over 100 PBS stations! Each station’s specific airdate could be soon, but will most likely be during the month of May 2010, as each station independently decides on their specific air date. Check your local Public Television station listings, or better yet call or email your local station and ask them to broadcast The Legend of Pancho Barnes! So be sure to tell you friends to stay tuned!
