THE CITY/LA CIUDAD was produced by David Riker for the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funds provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

ITVS was created by Congress to fund and present programming that involves creative risks and addresses the needs of underserved audiences while granting artistic control to the independent producer. ITVS has brought to public television more than 200 single programs and limited series since its inception in 1991.
