3 unusual facts about The Documentary Channel


Cesare Wright

In 2007, Wright directed "Goals", a film exploring issues of immigration and assimilation vicariously through sports, which premiered on The Documentary Channel and NYC TV.

Thomas Patrick Huston

His first documentary was on a controversial subject (the use of the word "nigger") and presented in an unconventional way, he managed to beat thirty other documentaries, some by established filmmakers, in a contest sponsored by The Documentary Channel.

WNYE-TV

Among other WNYE-related productions, Secrets of New York has been syndicated nationally to public television stations, and it and Blueprint: New York City have been offered to the now-defunct digital cable and satellite network The Documentary Channel (both it and Halogen TV were replaced by Pivot in August 2013), which in turn has provided some programming to WNYE from its library.
