November 19, 2010

Global Focus VII, a 30-minute documentary television program featuring the 2010 Goldman Prize recipients, will begin its broadcast run on San Francisco Bay Area PBS affiliate KQED this coming week before it airs throughout the country on other PBS stations. The program airs on November 22 and again on November 26 at 7:30pm. Be sure to tune in if you live in Northern California, and check back for broadcast dates for other PBS stations.

Filmmakers Will Parrinello, John Antonelli, and Tom Dusenbery of the Mill Valley Film Group are the subject of a feature story today in the San Francisco Chronicle. They explain the often challenging process of traveling to far-flung corners of the globe to shoot the documentary profiles that appear on our website and on Global Focus.
