Indie film favorite Maggie Gyllenhaal, the new host of Independent Lens, kicks off the series premiere, Tuesday, October 13, 2009 (check local listings).

The new season showcases 27 independent films—a unique collection of stories unlike anything else on television.

"Independent Lens is public television's equivalent of This American Life, a completely freeform program with no apparent rules for what passes. Lens airs a decidedly brilliant mix of drama, documentary, even comedy, and provides an imaginative array of unusual, unknown and immensely engaging stories.
—Paste Magazine

Gyllenhaal joins past season hosts Terrance Howard, Edie Falco, Angela Bassett, Don Cheadle and Susan Sarandon.
