TV's Hit Maker

Documentary of the Week | Jul 8, 2016

At the age of 93, Norman Lear still has the energy and curiosity of a 9-year-old. Oscar-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (“Jesus Camp”) trace the ups and downs of his career from creating the hit TV shows “All in the Family,” “Maude,” and “The Jeffersons” to founding the non-profit People for the American Way. Lear stands as an inspiration for being vibrant at any age.
