YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

DemocracyNow.org - This year's Sundance Film Festival includes 28 feature-length documentaries from the United States and around the world, covering subjects including the story of WikiLeaks, abortion, the Egyptian revolution, immigration, covert U.S. wars, and many more. All five of the films nominated for the 2013 academy award for best documentary have premiered at Sundance -- "5 Broken Cameras," "The Gatekeepers," "How to Survive a Plague," "The Invisible War," and "Searching for Sugar Man." We're joined by Cara Mertes, director of the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program and the Sundance Documentary Fund. "We're supporting a global, independent documentary movement," Mertes says.
