"In PHAROAH'S ARMY, ITVS took a chance on an emerging filmmaker—a chance that really paid off. What interested me in this film was its take on a tragic episode in our history: an acrimonious war that split the country in two. Despite the bitterness of the situation, my character and Patricia Clarkson's character were able to view each other as people, if only for a brief respite before hostilities were resumed. Robbie Henson's intense, layered script was a delight to explore, as well as the opportunity to work with such a talented cast." —Chris Cooper Actor, PHAROAH'S ARMY
—Jacquie Jones Executive Director, National Black Programming Consortium "The creation of ITVS cemented the importance of independent producers within the public television system. Over the years, P.O.V./American Documentary and ITVS have nurtured some of the most important documentaries on PBS, and the partnership continues to break new ground in bringing films to American audiences. We are proud to work with ITVS in support of the filmmaker's vision and the public's access to important stories." —Cara Mertes Executive Director, P.O.V./American Documentary |
