Public Policy Productions has produced 30 documentaries for national public television. Over the past two decades these documentaries have won over a hundred awards including Peabody, Emmy, and duPont-Columbia awards, as well as two Academy Award nominations. Our current production about capital punishment, NO MERCY, focuses on the murder of a subject of a recent film, and the use of that film in the trial to convince the jury to impose the death penalty. Recent productions include CRITICAL CONDITION about the nations health insurance crisis, AGING OUT about teenagers that “age out” of the foster care system, WAGING A LIVING about the struggle of low-wage workers to lift their families out of poverty, THE MAIN STREAM about an off-beat journey down the Mississippi River, and SOUND AND FURY about a loving family torn apart by a medical technology which promises to end deafness.
