The  Audience Award
What is the Audience Award?
What is the Audience Award? At film festivals, the award that indies covet the most is the Audience Award. After all, these non-conventional filmmakers are telling stories not for fame or fortune, but to enlighten and entertain you—the audience.

After each Independent Lens television broadcast, the audience decides how a film measures up. At the end of each season, we tally the votes and honor one special film.

Announcing the 2009 Independent Lens Audience Award Winner!


ADJUST YOUR COLOR: The Truth of Petey Greene
by Loren Mendell

He was a drug addict, a convicted felon, a hustler and a shock jock. Petey Greene gave voice to the unheard—speaking truth to power on his raw and uncensored TV and radio programs. His explosive language and brash style shocked the world as he battled both the system and his own demons becoming a leading activist during some of the most tumultuous years in recent history.

Read what fans have to say:

You have ignited my soul with such an awe-inspiring documentary. Petey Greene jumps off the screen and into your heart.

I was captivated instantly by Petey's direct style...his anger seems to have been directed not to blame others, but to shed light on the injustices of his day.

RIVETING! He exemplified the ultimate social change agent, in a time when people had begun to tune out…

Wow, great job! This is one superb documentary!
