Lynn Novick Biography
Lynn Novick has been making landmark documentary films about American life and culture, history, politics, sports, art, architecture, literature, and music for more than 30 years. As director and producer, she has created nearly 100 hours of acclaimed programming for PBS in collaboration with Ken Burns, including their six-hour series, "The U.S. and The Holocaust", released on PBS in September 2022. Her films include "Ernest Hemingway," "The Vietnam War," "Baseball," "Jazz," "Frank Lloyd Wright," "The War," and "Prohibition" - these landmark series have garnered 19 Emmy nominations. One of the most respected documentary filmmakers and storytellers in America, Novick herself has received Emmy, Peabody and Alfred I. duPont Columbia Awards.
With her 2019 four part verité series, "College Behind Bars," Novick made her debut as solo director. A present day story told without narration, this series signaled a departure in filmmaking approach and style for Novick, and premiered at the New York Film Festival prior to PBS release. Produced by Sarah Botstein, "College Behind Bars" explores urgently contemporary and timeless questions – What is prison for? Who in America has access to educational opportunity? Six years in the making, the series immerses viewers in the inspiring and transformational journey of a small group of incarcerated men and women serving time for serious crimes, as they try to earn college degrees in one of the most rigorous prison education programs in America – the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI).
There is no better measure of the impact of the film than the fact that in 2020 Congress voted to restore Pell Grant funding for people in prison – reversing a 25 year ban.
Novick’s next project as solo director and writer is a multi-part PBS series on the history of crime and punishment in America, slated for release in 2026. She is collaborating with Burns, Botstein, and writer Geoffrey C. Ward on a six-hour series on the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. Novick is a magna cum laude graduate of Yale with honors in American Studies, and lives in New York City.
