PBS BROADCAST―The documentary film I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE by Director Reid Davenport premieres on PBS POV Monday, January 9.

When a circus tent goes up outside his Oakland apartment, a disabled filmmaker launches into a meditative journey exploring the history of freakdom, vision, and (in)visibility. Shot from the director’s physical perspective — mounted to his wheelchair or handheld — I Didn’t See You There serves as a clear rebuke to the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard. Winner, 2022 Sundance, U.S. Documentary Director and Grand Jury Prize nominee.

I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE airs nationally on the PBS series POV this January 9, 2023. Check your local listings for times in your area. Click here to watch the film’s trailer.
