Celebrating its 24th season on PBS in 2011, POV features the work of the best independent documentary filmmakers from America and around the world. This season, POV films examine such diverse topics as the last generation of children to grow up behind the “Iron Curtain” of the USSR, the lives of soldiers before, during and returning from war in Afghanistan, and activists who cross the line and become labeled as “domestic terrorists.” Airing Tuesdays at 10 PM during the summer, with prime-time specials during the year, POV has brought more than 300 award-winning documentaries to millions nationwide for the past 23 years.
Check out the films in the upcoming season of POV with our 2011 Season Preview below.
