A lot of folks have been gushing over Esquire’s reprint of their 1984 profile on William Donald Schaefer, but over on Z on TV Mr. Zurawick draws attention to MPT’s 2009 feature “Citizen Schaefer,” a compelling look at the man’s career in Baltimore and the state of Maryland, chock full of interviews and archival footage of Baltimore (my fave: aerial shots of the harbor when the Allied Chrome factory was still standing).
Not exactly sure why they didn’t mention the fact that the full length feature is available free to watch on MPT’s website, but here you go – it’s a really interesting way to spend an hour of your day (click through at the bottom for the fuller-screen version).
Watch the full episode. See more MPT Specials.
