IndependentAccording to the Hollywood Reporter, A&E is the latest channel to seek out indie fare:
A&E IndieFilms will showcase four documentaries per year in primetime, with select projects intended for a theatrical run as well. Documentaries coming under the new banner include "In Harm's Way," a chronicle of female journalists working in combat zones from filmmaker Barbara Kopple ("Harlan's Way").
While a boon for documentarians looking to sell their wares, it seems like more of a marketing move on A&E's part. Time will tell if the theatrical ambitions are just smoke and mirrors.
