Pedersen, and talks about life aboard his father's trading vessels, showing film footage he took during a trading voyage in 1935. The third is a 1983 KAKM public television documentary entitled "Ted," on Ted Pedersen's life (29 minutes). The documentary includes early footage taken by Pedersen in the arctic. The fourth is a working tape from the documentary "Ted," of Pedersen's film footage with voiceover of producer Carroll Hodge interviewing him about the footage and about his father (62 minutes).
