Award-winning PBS Television Series POV Announces Milestone 35th Season
POV returns to PBS in July for a milestone 35th year, with a slate of acclaimed thought-provoking documentaries that reaffirm public media's vital role as a platform for the people and in sparking national dialogue. America's longest-running showcase for independent nonfiction film premieres fourteen features with themes that include environmental justice, systemic inequity, global perspectives on motherhood, and caregiving during multiple crises.
POV builds upon its decades-long commitment to representation and inclusion, with over half of this season’s films directed by women, and two thirds by filmmakers of color. In addition, half come from filmmakers of Asian descent, and several titles are by and about people with disabilities. A major platform for global nonfiction in the U.S, the series will feature stories from China, Cuba, Ethiopia, Greenland, Myanmar, Norway, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, and feature contemporary Muslim perspectives from both outside and within the U.S.
The 35th season opens July 11 with Wuhan Wuhan, by Yung Chang, a stirring observational documentary on the first wave of the COVID-19 lockdown. Episodes premiere Monday nights through January 2023 and will be available for streaming concurrent with broadcast on all station-branded PBS platforms, including PBS.org ([link removed]) and the PBS Video app ([link removed]) .
