Cinema Verite Chronicles 'An American Family'

Cinema Verite tells the behind-the-scenes story of the groundbreaking 12-hour PBS documentary series “An American Family,” which chronicled the lives of the Louds in the early 1970s and catapulted the Santa Barbara family to notoriety while creating a new genre: the reality TV series.
