The Kauffman Foundation + STL IT Entrepreneurs Network (iten.org) hosted an early screening of this film at Washington University in St. Louis a couple months ago. I was fortunate to see it.

The movie offers an inside look at the earliest days of Si Valley, including the "Traitorous Eight" who left Shockley to form Fairchild Semiconductor. After that they focus mainly on the 70s-80s with a bunch of great anecdotes about Apple/Steve Jobs and Atari.

Worth watching IMO.

I tried in vain to figure out what time of day this will be airing on the West Coast, since I'm at the office and can't check the show schedule. Hopefully I can get home early enough to record a re-run :(.

At least in Seattle, it's airing at 9PM.

If you have Comcast and a DVR, I recommend checking out their What's On app, which lets you remotely schedule stuff for your DVR to record.

Unfortunately I have Dish, and since they usually don't adjust for time zones, that probably means that it airs at 6pm for me. Thanks for the info; hopefully I can catch the rerun ><

It's on at 9pm until 10:30pm where I am in Canada but we get Boston PBS but I'm one hour ahead of US Eastern but the show times are shown in my local time by my TV provider.

For the US Eastern time zone 8pm to 9:30pm, if US Pacific time does PBS show at the same time or 8pm locally?

There wasn't that easy? lol

I'm guessing 8pm.
