Coming to PBS’s Independent Lens on Monday, January 5: RICH HILL
Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo’s sensitive look at the lives of three rural boys premiered at Sundance, winning the US Documentary Grand Jury Prize. It went on to screen at DOC NYC, Nantucket, True/False, Dallas, Cleveland, Sarasota, and Ashland, among others. In NYC, PBS’s abrupt change of Independent Lens’ (and POV’s) schedule away from its traditional Primetime WNET/Thirteen placement has been postponed for at least four months thanks to the concerns of independent documentary filmmakers and audience members.
My pre-Sundance profile of the doc may be found here.
