 Thursday (January 15, 2026) PBS SoCal announced it's screening schedule for February, among the lineup is HUZ Drawn To Life, a slice of my life story told on screen by my friend of over 50 years, Don Hahn.

PBS SoCal, Southern California’s flagship PBS station, today announced a curated Black History Month programming slate led by the premiere of HUZ: DRAWN TO LIFE, a new documentary spotlighting Ron Husband—the first Black animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Don Hahn (“Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King,” “Howard,” “Waking Sleeping Beauty”), the film traces Husband’s groundbreaking career and creative legacy during a pivotal era in animation history. Premiering at a moment when conversations around representation, mentorship, and creative legacy are reshaping the entertainment industry, HUZ: DRAWN TO LIFE anchors PBS SoCal’s Black History Month lineup, celebrating artists, activists, and cultural leaders whose influence continues to shape American life on screen and beyond.
