Indie Lens Pop-Ups

The Magic Valley Arts Council and Idaho Humanities Council believe in the power of film to engage communities in dialogue around the most important social and cultural issues of our time. Our Indie Lens Pop-Up Community Screenings brings audiences together to experience the best of PBS documentaries, to spotlight societal and culturally relevant topics that can promote healthy discussions long after the film airs.

Since 2005, this national screening series has reached 350,000 new viewers for Independent Lens, while generating awareness and action on a range of topics. ITVS filmmakers who participate in Indie Lens Pop-up are both extending the reach of their films to new audiences and also amplifying their vision for social impact. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Idaho Humanities Council, a state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this film do not necessarily represent those of the Idaho Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, or the Magic Valley Arts Council.
