New Line: Independent Legacies

An in-depth portrait chronicling the rise of New Line Cinema, between 1967 and 1994, from the perspective of the filmmakers and executives involved in the company's early success—from collaborations with cult director John Waters to the smash hit Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 0.
