Hope you are able to catch the broadcast.  Who would have known when we
concocted this project four years ago that it would so timely ‹ sadly ‹

Monday Feb 23 10/9c on PBS

We're thrilled to invite you to see our latest Vital Pictures' film,
American Denial, on PBS' Independent Lens series, Monday, February 23 at
10:00 pm EST (check your local listings).
   
In 1938, Swedish researcher and Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal plunges into
America's Jim Crow South. The resulting study, An American Dilemma (1944),
poses a profoundly unsettling question: How can a people devoted to the
American Creed of equality, justice and opportunity for all continue to
erect obstacles to those ends based on race? Through Myrdal's story and
contemporary racial dynamics, American Denial explores how denial, cognitive
dissonance, and implicit bias persist and shape all of our lives.  We have
been excited by the pre-broadcast buzz American Denial has already
generated. We look forward to hearing your thoughts via Facebook
