    GBH's Local Lens Documentary Series Reveals a World Within a Region

    New England is full of characters, quirks, and colorful narratives. GBH is doing the vital work of sharing these stories with the second year of Local Lens — a weekly seasonal offering of local, independent documentaries that capture our beautiful, strange, historic corner of the country. We spoke with the curators behind the film series to learn more about how it aligns perfectly with public media’s mission.

    Promises of the Revolution Illuminates Our Untold Histories

    “Who does this American experiment benefit?,” asks an interviewee in GBH’s new documentary, Promises of the Revolution. It’s a question the entire four-part series of short films, made in collaboration with Mass Humanities, interrogates in one way or another. From Marblehead to Mashpee, from the Revolutionary Era to present day, this GBH Local Lens production cuts to the heart of who we are, where we’ve been, and what is to be done in the continued pursuit of a more perfect union.
