The Audience Award


HEART OF THE SEA wins the first <i>Independent Lens</i> Audience Award!

My favorite of all the year's entries is the amazing tale of Hawaiian surfing champion Rell Sunn ... luminous, amazingly brave, Sunn is one of the most heroic documentary subjects in memory.
‹Edward Guthman, San Francisco Chronicle

The votes are in and the audience agrees!

Congratulations to filmmakers Charlotte Lagarde and Lisa Denker, who captured Rell’s inspirational story and won the hearts of thousands of Independent Lens viewers.
