New releases from a local filmmaker, an author and musicians

A Mohegan leader helped shape the vision and raise the funds for Dartmouth College. He's now the subject of a documentary.  Today on Vermont Edition: we mark Indigenous’ Peoples Day by sharing the story of Samson Occom. Filmmaker Signe Taylor partnered with the Mohegan Tribe and Dartmouth College to make this new documentary. Then: a Vermont author and illustrator took on one of the most difficult subjects there is for her new book: genocide. The illustrated narrative she crafted is heartbreaking, beautiful and educational. Broadcast live on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m. Have questions, comments or tips?
