” is unveiling its winter lineup, which highlights a collection of award-winning documentary films that tackle everything from economic inequality and immigration to gun violence and gentrification.
The PBS documentary anthology series is presented by ITVS, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization, and the films being showcased will make their broadcast debut beginning Jan. 17. The upcoming slate will open with James Rutenbeck’s “A Reckoning in Boston,” which looks at racial and economic inequity in cities, through the perspective of low-income students of color enrolled in a Boston night school.
Kicking off the month of February is “Owned: A Tale of Two Americas,” from filmmaker Giorgio Angelini, which weaves together the racist history of mid-century housing policy in America and the ramifications of the 2008 housing market collapse. Following “Owned” is Todd Chandler’s “,” a critically acclaimed documentary that examines what it means to be safe in the classroom in the age of mass shootings.
“Our winter film slate represents a wide array of bold, visionary stories that tackle some of the thorniest and most pressing issues of our society, from the humanitarian crisis at the border to mass school shootings to the racial inequities baked into the very foundations of our cities,” said Lois Vossen, executive producer of “Independent Lens.” “We’re incredibly proud to work with such talented storytellers whose films dive into these issues so fearlessly and yet with so much empathy.
