Did you search the www.pbs.org web site? I don't know the name of the special, so I don't know what to type into the search box.

DARTMOUTH — Creators of a documentary about Aorean and Portuguese
culture are looking for natives from those areas to tell their stories
about why they moved to the United States and their experiences here.
The documentary, called "Ilha De Meus Sonhos," or "Island of My
Dreams," will be produced by Ricardo Rebelo, who teaches TV and film
courses at Bristol Community College. BCC's Luso Centro, Fall River
Community Television and the FLAD Foundation are combining to create
the documentary, which Rebelo hopes to release by the end of the year.
On Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the creators will open their film
studio at BCC's Jackson Arts Center (room H-101) for immigrants to
talk about their experiences. These interviews will be "the backbone
of the documentary," they said. Immigrants interested in participating
can also contact Rebelo at 401-578-5700.
All interviews, even those that don't make it into the documentary,
will be archived at the Luso Centro at BCC.
Rebelo, a former production assistant at ABC who just finished a
documentary about Lizzie Borden, wants to give future generations a
chance to hear why their parents or grandparents come to the Fall
River area. Many immigrants don't talk freely about the circumstances
of emigrating to the U.S., he said. "They don't think it's
particularly remarkable, but often it is."
Rebelo, himself an Azorean immigrant, is looking to focus on how
Portuguese immigrants have maintained the culture of their homeland
here, while the Azorean culture has changed since the revolution, he
said. The documentary could also note two waves of emigration from the
Azores in the 1950s and the 70s.
The interviews are being held on Sunday because it is the anniversary
of the revolution.

I am not sure if this is what Iris was talking about. It looks like they have a show about Portugal and the Azores next Monday on WGBH out of Boston. It appears to be about slavery, the show is called Globe-Trekker.

Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores on PBS
If you google "the raising of the k-129" you get information from Wikipedia and You Tube. But it's about a ship, not about genealogy or the people of the Azores. So I'm still not sure what Iris was looking for. But people who are interested in military type stuff would find the K-129 interesting.

At this point, I don't know what I'm looking for either. I was told by someone months ago that a program about the Azore's would be on pbs in March. So I put a note about it on my calender on the March page. I'll check listings on Monday. Obrigada to all 4 of you for posting.

<<Just got off the phone with Mr. Ricardo Rebelo. At this point he does not know when "Islands of My Dreams" will be aired over PBS.>>

I have seen that program before. It is a travel program. This particular episode goes to places in Africa where the Portuguese estabished the slave trade. Slaveryane the primary role which Portugal played in the slave trade, is one of those topics that the Portuguese (especially those from the continent) almostalways refuse to talk about or acknowledge.
