Coming to POV this Thursday, June 28: GRANITO: HOW TO NAIL A DICTATOR
Pamela Yates’ story of how her previous film on Guatemala helped overthrow a dictator made its world premiere at Sundance last year. It later opened the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and enjoyed a limited theatrical release. For its POV engagement, which includes streaming online following the broadcast, Yates had PBS remove the geoblock that typically limits the stream to US and Canada so that it can be accessed around the world. Recognizing the importance of reaching core audiences in Spanish, the film will be streamed in both English and Spanish, and will also include streaming of the prequel film, WHEN THE MOUNTAINS TREMBLE.
I wrote about the film before Sundance here.
