Two new major titles appeared in the PBS Passport library on November 3. The addition of "Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song" marks the latest expansion of the service's documentary holdings. The library also includes a special report on the war with Iran.
The Passport platform functions as an extended archive for subscribers. It contains dramas, arts performances, and news segments. Members access these titles through a donation-based model that supports local public media communities.
The Springsteen documentary explores the singer's musical career. The title frames his work as a search for American identity through lyrics and melody. This feature sits alongside a large collection of political coverage in the library.
News programming within the library spans several years of presidential activity. Titles include President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union Address. Other entries show Trump addressing the nation from the White House.
The archive also holds the 2024 election results. It features Kamala Harris addressing supporters after losing the presidential race. The library includes the final debate between Trump and Joe Biden, as well as the first day of the Trump impeachment trial.
Coverage of primary elections and caucuses is available for members. This includes the Iowa Caucus Special and the New Hampshire Primary Special. The library contains records of the March 10 primary coverage.
The Iran conflict coverage is part of the PBS News Special Report series. It stands next to other major political events in the digital catalog. Subscribers can view these segments alongside the new Springsteen documentary.
The library includes the 2019 Democratic debate hosted by PBS NewsHour and POLITICO. It also contains the 2020 race and policing special titled "America in Black and Blue." The archive reaches back to the 2012 Republican and Democratic National Conventions.
Historical news events remain accessible to members. These include the 9/11 special report and the 2015 and 2013 State of the Union addresses. The collection also features the 2012 vice presidential debate.
The next scheduled item in the library is the sixth Democratic debate. That event took place on December 1, 2019. Members can now watch the new Springsteen documentary and the Iran war report immediately.
