What is the role of the documentary filmmaker in our current political climate, where far too little is questioned and those who dare to criticize are labeled “unpatriotic”? Filmmakers Robert Stone (Neverland: The Rise and Fall of the Symbionese Liberation); Alison Maclean and Tobias Perse (Persons of Interest); Andrei Nekrasov (Disbelief); and Jehane Noujaim (The Control Room); with moderator John Anderson, film critic for Newsday, discuss why they chose to make these films and how they contribute to the political debate over increased restrictions of civil liberties, information flow through the media, the war on terrorism, and military actions.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
