POWDER RIVER. Season 1. Episode 12: THE WINE OF LIFE
From: Jerry Robbins
Series: POWDER RIVER Season 1.
Length: 26:50
Join former lawman turned rancher Britt MacMasters and his son Chad as they begin a new life for themselves in Clearmont, Wyoming ... but Britt's past returns to haunt him, as one of the toughest outlaw gangs in the west is headed towards Clearmont for revenge!
Originally intended as a 15 episode mini-series, the popularity of this show encouraged CRT to continue production. POWDER RIVER now has a total of 60 half hour episodes available for broadcast.
Powder River is performed in the style of a classic old time radio show, not dissimilar to the Six Shooter and Gunsmoke, but the production quality is very much in the 21st century with crystal clear stereo sound, thousands of sound effects, and a completely original music score.
Executive ProducerMark Vander Berg.

Review of POWDER RIVER. Season 1. Episode 12: THE WINE OF LIFE
This well done western, patterned after the radio dramas of the 1940's and 50's, tells the story of a tightly knit group of residents who find themselves bound together for mutual aid and defence and all that that means for each of them in a hostile environment that can turn deadly at any moment. This well done series highlights different characters and different issues each week as events and characters come in and out of the plot. As the personalities of the characters are revealed over time within the series, we get to know and care about them the way the characters themselves care for one another. And as a side benefit, real historical events are portrayed accurately, so we actually can learn some REAL stuff!
