This paper argues that Raymond Williams’ ideas about television as cultural form and experience broaden the understanding the trajectory of Helena Solberg’s, a Brazilian filmmaker who directed several documentaries for a North American television station in the 1980s. To support this argument, we rely on the analysis made by Williams in Television a (1974) and the research on the Helena Solberg trajectory carried out by Mariana Tavares and Ana Maria Veiga. As a result, we explain how Helena’s documentaries, funded and broadcast by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), constitute more democratic uses and practices that, considering Williams, can be better contextualized and understood.
