POV Series: Point and Shoot

Texas Spirit Theater

August 10, 2015 7:00pm - 8:30pm

The award-winning POV series presents an array of groundbreaking and distinctive perspectives on contemporary life as chronicled by some of America’s and Europe’s most visionary non-fiction filmmakers.

Follow Matt VanDyke, a timid 27-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, who left home in Baltimore in 2006and set off on a self-described “crash course in manhood”. While on a 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East, revolution broke out in Libya. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, VanDyke joined and documented the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held for six months in solitary confinement.

A co-production of ITVS. Winner of the Best Documentary Feature award at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival.

This screening is free and open to the public.

This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
