"The films in this year's documentary competition deliver tremendous insight into the challenges of our ever-growing global culture as well as highlight how individuals affect and react to change. With varying styles of filmmaking, this mix of American and international voices are pointed and thought-provoking," said Director of Programming Genna Terranova. "Viewpoints has broadened this year with more international perspectives, and features many stories about those that go to great lengths when affronted by their own individuality."
