41 Days: A Documentary

In early January, armed occupiers took over a national wildlife refuge in rural Oregon. They said they weren't leaving until two local ranchers who had set fires on federal property were released from prison, and until the federal government handed its lands over to local residents.

Militants from all over the country answered the call of the occupiers to stand against what they saw as federal tyranny. The weeks that followed captured the attention of the nation and ripped the local community apart.

Forty-one days, 25 arrests and one death later, Oregon Public Broadcasting brings you the complicated story of the armed occupation that rocked Harney County.

For OPB's full coverage of the refuge occupation, visit OPB's website.

KBSX will air the entire 41 Days documentary on Sunday, March 6 at 8 p.m.
