I love documentary film. The PBS series IN THE LIFE uses a mix of interviews and documentary short subjects and excerpts to chronicle life in the LGBT community.
Although some of the stories are a little less than what DA Pannebaker might produce, the subjects are really compelling. A lesbian methodist minister in Pennsylvania, a LGBT group in Nepal helping write a new constitution, or a campground in upstate New York that has become a village of respite for lesbians and gay men. Interviews with Edward Albee, Judy Shepard, Margaret Cho.
Although for obvious reasons, my local PBS station would never air this series, you can get the podcast through their website.
Check it out.
