Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Beth Harrington has spent decades telling true stories. But why does she choose the subjects she does? What does it mean to live with a story for over 10 years, wondering if it'll ever be seen by the light of day? And why is independent documentary filmmaking at such a difficult crossroads? Our conversation about artists who focus on the past uncovers what's going on in the present and what we can hope for in the future.
