\"Academy<\/a>We were excited to learn that several\u00a0Independent Lens<\/em> films have been nominated for 2013 News and Documentary Emmy Awards by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Danfung Dennis’s Hell and Back Again<\/em><\/a> \u2014 which had previously been nominated for an Oscar \u2014 was nominated for a Best Documentary<\/strong> Emmy. The film intimately traces a Marine’s rough re-landing back Stateside after a stint in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Brad Lichtenstein’s film As Goes Janesville<\/a><\/em>\u00a0about how the recession hit a Wisconsin town and what it says about the American Dream, was nominated in the Outstanding Investigative Journalism Long Form<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n

David Weissman’s We Were Here<\/em><\/a>, which movingly looked back at how the AIDS epidemic both ravaged San Francisco but also brought it together in inspiring ways, was nominated for Outstanding Historical Programming Long Form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aaron Schock’s Circo<\/a><\/em>, about a Mexican circus family struggling to maintain their way of life in a rough economy, was nominated in the Outstanding Arts & Culture Programming<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n

“We congratulate all the filmmakers nominated today,” said Lois Vossen,\u00a0Independent Lens<\/i>\u00a0Senior Series Producer. “The extraordinary quality of their work demonstrates again the unique and vital role that independent documentarians play as journalists, going behind the headlines to delve deeper into the most important issues of our time.”<\/p>\n

We’re also proud that ITVS-funded documentaries for PBS’s\u00a0POV<\/em> series
\nGive Up Tomorrow<\/em><\/a> (directed by Michael Collins)\u00a0and Granito: How to Nail a Dictator<\/em><\/a> (directed by Pamela Yates) received Emmy recognition as well, nominated in the Outstanding Investigative Journalism Long Form<\/strong> category; while the ITVS Frontline film\u00a0The Interrupters<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(directed by Hoop Dreams<\/em> filmmaker Steve James) was nominated for Outstanding Informational Programming\u00a0<\/strong>and Outstanding Editing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
