POV, the annual non-fiction series that delivers some of the best independent films every year on PBS, won two awards at the prestigious IDA Documentary Awards. These awards "seek to represent excellence in the documentary field from around the world by emerging and established documentarians," according to their own webpage.

POV won in two important categories: POV Season 36 won the award for "Best Curated Series," while POV Shorts Season 6 received the "Best Short-Form Series" award. With these, POV has now received a total of 7 IDA Documentary Awards.

It is gratifying for Dicapta to create audio descriptions for POV Season 36 and Shorts Season 6, given the high quality of those productions and the significant themes they explore. Noteworthy among the non-fiction films in this season are "Fire Through Dry Grass" and "unseen," both offering unique perspectives from individuals with disabilities. The director of "Fire Through Dry Grass" is Andres "Jay" Molina, a disability rights activist originally from the Dominican Republic, and "unseen" features Pedro, an undocumented immigrant with visual disabilities, as the main character.

Other featured films in the season include  "A House Made of Splinters." Simon Lereng Wilmont's documentary, which captures the poignant story of Ukrainian children finding refuge in a temporary orphanage amid the backdrop of the conflict with Russia and "Children of the Mist", a movie by Hà Lệ Diễm that follows the story of a Hmong teen residing in rural Northern Vietnam who opposes a cultural practice allowing girls to be abducted and coerced into marriage.

Some of the shorts that form the 6th season of POV include "When the LAPD Blows Up Your Neighborhood", "When it's good it's good" and " Sol in the Garden". 

POV Season 36 and POV Shorts Season 6 are available for streaming concurrently with broadcast on all station-branded PBS platforms. These platforms include PBS.org and the PBS Video app (available on iOS and Android), Android TV, Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, Google Chromecast, and VIZIO SmartCast TV.
