True Stories: Life in the USA is a groundbreaking 16-part documentary series hosted by Benicio Del Toro that shares the stories about American people and places with international audiences. Made by independent filmmakers, these films show the richness and complexity of life in the United States: from Native American reservations to the Mexican border, from surfers to poets, fishermen and coal miners.
Through the True Stories: Life in the USA series, ITVS works closely with television broadcasters around the world to make programs accessible to audiences that have little exposure to independent documentaries, offering views of the United States rarely seen in the headline news or commercial media.
True Stories is broadcast in Bahrain, Colombia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malawi and Peru. Each season, the series continues to expand its global reach.
If you are an international broadcaster interested in airing True Stories, please contact Beatriz Castillo: beatriz_castillo@itvs.org
