Available today on DVD and Blu-ray, CINEMA VERITE is a feature length docudrama telling the behind-the-scenes story of the groundbreaking 12-hour PBS documentary series AN AMERICAN FAMILY. Originally aired in 1973, the series is considered television’s first “reality” series and has since been named by TV Guide one of the top 50 greatest shows of all time.

As Pat Loud, the matriarch who watches her family fall apart while being televised to an audience of 10 million people, LANE turns in a powerful and moving performance.
