Piece Description
I had been volunteering at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina for years when I thought about making a profile about Nancy Buirski, the driving force behind the festival. I wanted to know what made Nancy start the festival, and why she chooses to have it here in Durham. She is a prime example of how one woman can make huge changes in a small city.
