At their recent “Getting Real” conference, the International Documentary Association began a series of conversations on sustainability for the documentary film field. With the NEA, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS once again on the chopping block for federal funding, how do documentary filmmaking professionals respond?

Panelists include: Justine Nagan (POV), Gordon Quinn (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail), Michael Schoenfeld (Duke University), and Marco Williams (Two Towns of Jasper). Moderated by: Claire Aguilar (International Documentary Association).
