American Documentary

American Documentary is a leading nonprofit media organization dedicated to creating, identifying and presenting contemporary nonfiction stories that express opinions and perspectives rarely featured in mainstream media. Since 1988, American Documentary has produced the award-winning series P.O.V. (a cinematic term for "point-of-view") for PBS, presenting over 250 of the most important documentary films of our time. Our films, coupled with our unsurpassed national reach and local collaborations, have brought powerful documentary storytelling into people's lives, and brought public dialogue on issues of national importance to a new level.
