GBH cares deeply about the independent film community, whose documentaries tell stories that matter. At a time when the public media system is facing unprecedented funding challenges, @GBH is giving WORLD’s YouTube channel to our trusted partner American Documentary, Inc...

...to distribute nonfiction indie films from "America ReFramed," "Doc World" and "Local, USA" that represent a range of voices and perspectives. GBH and American Documentary are working through the details and will share more information soon.
