Podcast Interview with Vice President and Indie Lens Series Producer

Posted on June 4, 2009

Another season of Independent Lens is quickly coming to an end––concluding with THE ORDER OF MYTHS, which looks at a complex story about race relations at America's oldest Mardi Gras, airing June 9 at 10:00, and ASK NOT, a film that explores the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, premiering June 16 at 10:00 PM (check local listings). In this audio excerpt of an interview from earlier this year, Vice President and Independent Lens Series Producer Lois Vossen explains how ITVS works with PBS stations to support our mission to take creative risks, tackle complex issues and express points of view seldom explored in the media. She also discusses what types of viewers are drawn to the series. Download the interview on iTunes for free (TRT: 13:00) >>
