Monrovia, Indiana
Streaming video - 2018
Frederick Wiseman's new documentary explores a small town in rural America and illustrates how values like community service, duty, spiritual life, generosity and authenticity are formed, experienced and lived along with conflicting stereotypes. The film gives a complex and nuanced view of daily life in Monrovia and provides some understanding of a way of life whose influence and force have not always been recognized or understood in the big cities on the east and west coasts of America and in other countries. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival** and **Venice Film Festival**. "*A calmly analytical film in which-as ever in Wiseman's work-extended discussions and public debates are developed with an... absorbing dramatic power.*" - Richard Brody, ***The New Yorker***
