William Earl Variety and Rolling Stone have launched a digital content hub for the Truth Seekers Summit, presented by Showtime, featuring reporting that digs underneath the surface to reveal what’s hidden, what happened and what might come next. The hub, which features stories on documentaries of all genres by both outlets, will continue to update throughout the summit, which will take place in New York City and virtually on August 2, 2023.
Currently in the content hub is an interview with Sam Pollard, the documentary filmmaker of “The League”, who spoke with Variety about his film dedicated to baseball, America and race. Also featured in the hub is the story of Grady Kurpasi, reported by Rolling Stone, a 50-year-old Marine who gave up everything when Russia invaded Ukraine to fight with the Ukrainian National Legion, only to disappear while he was there.
Along with the Pollard and Kurpasi pieces, there’s a report about Danny Elfman’s $830,000 sexual-harassment allegation settlement, a deep-dive on the war between Israel and Palestine and a story on David Bunevacz, the decathlete-turned-grifter who conned Los Angeles. Additional content details pilgrimages to a psychedelic temple, AVOD as a solution for struggling indie doc makers, how documentary filmmakers are dealing with tight budgets and the story behind the pandemic relief bailout.
Variety and Rolling Stone also announced two final additions to Truth Seekers Summit agenda presented by Showtime — a conversation with Laverne Cox and a keynote with Sacha Jenkins. Other summit programming includes: The Art of Investigative Storytelling panel, which will take a look at the creative minds behind breakout investigative and true crime storytelling.
