PBS' P.O.V. Announces Its 2009 Season

Check out the top-notch nonfiction films that will be beaming straight into your living rooms later this year courtesy of the excellent folks at P.O.V.  By going to the program's site, you can read descriptions, see previews, check local listings and get air date reminders sent to you so you don't miss one of these fifteen stellar movies.  I have the privilege of traveling the festival circuit and this season, as is always the case, the programmers and directors have chosen the best of the best from all over the world.

The season starts June 23 with Jennifer Maytorena Taylor's New Muslim Cool and ends with Steven Sebring's Patti Smith: Dream of Life in a special broadcast slated for January 2010.  Click here to read more about these films and the rest of the season's pickings.  The strand also offers full-length and short films for online viewing.  What more could you ask for?  Support public television.
