@JeffBezos @DollyParton @danicamckellar @Kanopy The film was directed and produced by @UTKnoxville journalism professor @ngeidner and crewed by staff and students from @UTJEM.

[Land Grant Films @LandGrantFilms]

You might have seen that @JeffBezos gave @DollyParton his $100 million Courage and Civility Prize. If you are wondering why, may I suggest you watch our documentary about her unprecedented, global philanthropic efforts.

[Land Grant Films @LandGrantFilms]

@JeffBezos @DollyParton The film - narrated by @danicamckellar - features original interviews with Dolly Parton and tells the story of her amazing Imagination Library. It is available for streaming on Prime, Google Play, Apple Video and for free on @Kanopy.

[Land Grant Films @LandGrantFilms]

Needless to say, we are so incredibly proud to be associated - even in our very small way - with Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library. She is an inspiration to us all.

[Nick Geidner @ngeidner]

But seriously, I am so over the moon happy that @DollyParton won the Bezos prize. The $100 million dollars will be incredibly well used. From her first charity concert in Sevierville to now, Dolly has always been incredibly smart about her philanthropic work.

How awesome is this a student reading group in Leeds is watching our documentary, @TheLibraryFilm! #UTeverywhere

[Kirsty Fife @DIYarchivist]

Obviously delighted that the student-led reading group I'm getting off the ground at work is discussing a documentary about Dolly Parton's free book scheme for session one.

[Land Grant Films @LandGrantFilms]

Congrats to Carnegie Medal recipient @DollyParton!! We are so proud to have provided some footage from @TheLibraryFilm for the ceremony. If you haven’t watch our doc about the Imagination Library, you should watch it today on Prime, Apple Video or for free on Kanopy!
