Independent Lens: Writing with Fire


Premiering Monday, Mar. 28 at 11 p.m.

From underground network to independent media empire—now with 10 million views on their YouTube site—they defy the odds to redefine power.

Explore this and more independent documentary films from “Independent Lens” on the PBS Video app.
