The PBS Online Film Festival is part of a multi-platform initiative to increase the reach and visibility of independent filmmakers, and to provide a platform for diverse storytelling that both inspires and engages.

"These 25 films presented by filmmakers from across the country illuminate themes of kindness, bravery and extraordinary resilience,” said Ira Rubenstein, PBS Chief Digital and Marketing Officer. “As America’s home for documentary film, we’re hopeful that the unique and powerful stories, reflective of so many of the communities that PBS serves, will encourage engagement and contribute to the growing narratives online around identity and its complexities.”
