The Adobe and PBS Foundations, together with the PBS series POV, announced the 2011 Project VoiceScape Award winners on Oct. 6, 2011, at a reception hosted by journalist, moderator and bestselling author Gwen Ifill, along with PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger, at the Newseum in Washington D.C. Winners for Best Documentary, Most Inspiring Documentary and Audience Award were recognized along with 18 young filmmakers who were finalists in the Project VoiceScape national initiative.
Project VoiceScape promotes and honors the work of aspiring young documentarians, ages 14-19. Earlier this year, 15 short films were chosen from among 240 submissions as finalists for the Project VoiceScape awards. Teens producing these films received a $2,000 grant for their projects and mentoring with professional filmmakers.
Morgan Wilcock, Emileigh Potter and Angel Gatus, tonight's winners for Best Documentary, Most Inspiring Documentary and the Audience Award, respectively, were presented with trophies recognizing their accomplishments. All Project VoiceScape finalists were honored with plaques.
"All 15 documentary projects were winners from my perspective," said Kerger. "I am tremendously impressed by the creativity and talent of these young people, as well as the range of subjects they examined. I am proud that PBS and the PBS Foundation are partnering with POV and the Adobe Foundation to encourage and celebrate the work of the next generation of filmmakers."

In this clip from 'Steam of Life,' a Finnish man describes one of his best friends. Now, we've all heard of "man's best friend" before, but when this man's friend reveals himself, his identity is surprisingly funny and unexpected! 'Steam of Life' premieres on POV on Tuesday, August 2 at 10 PM. Check local listings.
From a land of long, dark winters comes 'Steam of Life,' a moody, comic and moving study of Finnish men as framed by the national obsession with the sauna. There, they come together to sweat out not only the grime of contemporary life, but also their grief, hopes, joys and memories. Beautifully and hauntingly shot, the acclaimed film provides a surprising glimpse into the lives of Finnish men and a remarkable depiction of the troubled and often reticent hearts of contemporary Western men.

"Mugabe and the White African" - POV 2011
by Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson
"Mugabe and the White African", much of which was filmed clandestinely, tells an alarming story from one of the world's most troubled nations. In Zimbabwe, de facto dictator Robert Mugabe has unleashed a "land reform" program aimed at driving whites from the country through violence and intimidation. One proud "white African," however, has challenged Mugabe with human rights abuses under international law. The courage Michael Campbell and his family display as they defend their farm — in court and on the ground — makes for a film as inspiring as it is harrowing. (90 minutes)

The new season of PBS' award-winning documentary series POV (Point of View) kicks off on Tuesday June 21, 2011 at 10 p.m. (check local listings) with "Kings of Pastry," D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus' behind-the-scenes account of France's greatest pastry competition, an epic, three-day test of passion, perseverance, artistry and nerves. In advance of the new season, on Tuesday, June 7, POV will present a special encore broadcast of the Oscar-nominated film "The Most Dangerous Man in America," in honor of the 40th anniversary of Daniel Ellsberg's release of the Pentagon Papers, an event that changed the course of the Vietnam War and world history.
The 24th season of POV airs on PBS on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. from June 21-Sept. 27, 2011, and will continue with fall 2011 and winter/spring 2012 specials. POV is American television's longest-running independent documentary series. It is the winner of a Special Emmy Award for Excellence in Television Documentary Filmmaking, an International Documentary Association Award for Best Continuing Series and NALIP's 2011 Award for Corporate Commitment to Diversity.
POV's new slate of documentaries tells of people as different as cowboys herding sheep into Montana's rugged mountains for the last time and aspiring teenage NASCAR drivers whirling around tracks at 70 miles per hour before they're old enough for driver's licenses. In addition, POV and the renowned oral-history project StoryCorps will team up for the second year to present everyday people's intimate conversations in five imaginative and whimsical animated shorts, on television and online.
Also included are soldiers at war and at home, in "Armadillo" and "Where Soldiers Come From;" political activists who cross the line into law-breaking and authorities who may be crossing their own lines to catch them, in "Better This World" and "If a Tree Falls;" Chinese workers caught in the largest human migration in history, in "Last Train Home;" a Colombian librarian whose books travel on hooves through inhospitable jungles, in "Biblioburro;" Finnish men unburdening themselves in a most surprising fashion, in "Steam of Life;" Russian classmates reflecting on their country's sweeping transformations on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union, in "My Perestroika;" and a cunning Cambodian journalist who elicits a startling admission about the 1970s "killing fiends" from the highest-ranking surviving Khmer Rouge leader, in "Enemies of the People."
