always been a passion of mine, and I am proud to announce Sundance Productions’
desire to address critical stories across a multitude of relevant platforms,” Redford
said.

producer and television executive who has worked in senior executive and
creative leadership roles at Sundance Channel, Discovery Communications and

and we’re very excited and delighted to announce our newest endeavor with

They said their slate of original
programming includes the upcoming documentary,All The President’s Men Revisited. A 2-hour TV
documentary special commissioned by Discovery Channel worldwide, it comes 40

story of love, loss, heartbreak and new romance in the modern world is told
through the relationship of a patriarch with his three grown daughters. Producing
