What's On In October?
The Feeling of Being Watched (2018, dir. Assia Boundaoui)
This October, we bring you Breaking the Silence ([link removed]) , a curated collection of six courageous documentaries committed to hard histories and transformative justice around the world. "The struggle of man against power," as Milan Kundera wrote, "is the struggle of memory against forgetting." Our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month ([link removed]) continues through October 15 featuring three of our best POV Shorts ([link removed]) . And finally, don't miss the Season 35 premieres of The Last Out, Accepted, and An Act of Worship.
The time to stream is now on pov.org ([link removed]) and the PBS app ([link removed]) .
After you watch, we'd also love to hear from you! Send us your thoughts, shoutouts, and ideas for future programming at

Breaking the Silence offers discussion guides for each of the feature-length films in the collection and is an invitation to dialogue about very difficult chapters of history. It is based on a belief in the power of human connection and designed for people who want to use these documentaries to engage family, friends, classmates, colleagues and communities in conversations about reconciliation, trauma, and the power of a story to understand the consequences of historical violence and the power of healing.
