I saw a documentary that is really well done made by a New York City veteran filmmaker. I believe it's on the Sundance Channel starting Monday the 5th at 9 pm. check it it out, it's called, "FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN." Tribeca local, Jen Fox explores what it means to be a woman in today's world. In the midst of a midlife crisis, Fox embarks on a five-year odyssey in which she engages with women in 17 nations to find out how they define freedom.

I heard that was a good film, I saw a bunch of good docs at Tribeca. Thankfully with Sundance Channel, IFC, and DVDs, we're able to see these films.
