Join us for the Indie Lens Pop-Up Series in partnership with KSPS PBS, a unique neighborhood event that brings the community together to explore powerful stories through film. Featuring documentaries from PBS’s Independent Lens, these screenings spark meaningful conversations on the topics that matter most—social issues, family dynamics, community relationships, and more. This season’s topics also aim to expand perspectives through deeply personal stories, like what it means to live with Alzheimer’s disease and the bond between father and son.
Since 2005, Indie Lens Pop-Up has hosted over 7,200 events, connecting an estimated 430,000 participants in discussions that inspire action and foster understanding. This year, KSPS PBS and Spokane Public Library are partnering to bring this impactful series to our community.
