Nancy Abraham, HBO (US)

It's a tall order, programming documentaries that can hold their own on a schedule that includes such ground-breaking hits as The Sopranos and Entourage. Viewers expect films that delight, challenge, surprise and occasionally titillate or even terrify, but never fail to push the envelope. That hbo consistently delivers is creditable in large part to a willingness to break with its own traditions.
