"Domestic Violence" 2-night 6-hour docu
the new documentary Domestic Violence has been
getting some great reviews from TV Guide, EW etc.
it airs Tuesday (3/18) and Wednesday (3/19) night
for 3.5 hours the first night and 3 hours the second.
the show airs on PBS at 9 p.m. (eastern) and 8 p.m. (central)
on most PBS stations.
however some are it on Fridays (3/21 & 3/28) at 11:30 p.m. (E) and 10:30 p.m. (C).
here's some info on the first part of the docu:
210 min.
Cinema-verité master Frederick Wiseman (“Titicut Follies,” “Welfare,” “Public Housing”) examines the dark side of family life in a compelling and unsettling two-part study filmed in Tampa.
As usual, Wiseman's camera simply eavesdrops on ordinary people caught up in real-life dramas. The film opens with the police responding to domestic-violence calls (“Why do you always take the woman's side?” one man asks as he's being handcuffed), but the bulk of Part 1 was shot at a shelter called the Spring, and consists mostly of counseling and therapy sessions for victims and their children. At one, a fidgety woman raises an arm to play with her hair--- and Wiseman's camera lingers on a bruise.
The rating is TV-14 with Strong, Coarse Language & Violence.
