Public Alpha: have suggestions or feedback?
HBO has announced their summer documentary program line-up. The season will kick off on June 9th with the new documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, based on Roman Polanski and the statutory-rape case against him.
Also on board is a new doc on Heidi Fleiss, one about high school teens in Iraq called Baghdad High and one that focuses on Bush’s No Child Left Behind act.
There are a lot of great docs on the schedule including Section 60: Arlington National Cemetery.
Section 60 focuses on the part of Arlington Cemetery where U.S. servicemen and servicewomen from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are buried.
Keep your eyes tuned to HBO for the complete schedule : http://www.hbo.com/docs/ and watch an interview with Marina Zenovich, director of Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, below.
Also, be sure to
to learn about DCTV, a great non-profit video house that the folks behind Section 60 run.
