George C. Stoney is a legend documentary film for his work as a director and longtime professor at New York University. Born in 1916, he directed several influential films ranging from ALL MY BABIES, a 1953 educational film used to educate midwives, and HOW THE MYTH WAS MADE, about the making of Robert Flaherty’s A MAN FROM ARAN.

Stoney co-founded the Alternate Media Center in 1972, which trained citizens in the tools of video production for a brand new medium, public access television. An early advocate of democratic media, Stoney is often cited as being the Father of Public Access Television.

For this special STRANGER THAN FICTION tribute, Stoney will present clips and discuss his pioneering career.
