Find out if The Secrets of Ra 7, a documentary about Principia’s solar car, will be airing on your local PBS station. The schedule is updated regularly, so check back often!

Principia College alum and Academy Award-winner Robert Duvall (C’53) introduces the film, which gives you a behind-the-scenes view of the effort and inspiration behind Principia’s remarkable seventh place finish in the 2009 World Solar Challenge, a 1,877-mile race across Australia.

You can link to the schedule anytime from Principia’s homepage (www.principia.edu) or go directly to it at www.principia.edu/solar.

    I live next door to a V.P. of PBS. And I told her about this documentary. She said she’d watch out for it & hopefully that means she’d try to get it to air on our local PBS stations…. so far I can’t find it though. :( I want to see it!

    The link to the schedule for solar car documentary doesn’t seem to work. I clicked and it takes me to their website. So I again clicked on the schedule, but it’s just blank. Perhaps PBS has completed airing it?
