NEW YORK - Californer -- Pierre Gervois, Painter and Filmmaker, has been awarded the prestigious 2020 George Stoney Social Impact Award by Brooklyn Free Speech TV in New York City for his show "The Face of America".
Named after legendary American documentary filmmaker George Stoney, this award honors programs that had a direct, identifiable positive effect on a segment of the population.
The Face of America is an interview series created and hosted by Pierre Gervois in October 2017 and focused on exploring current political and social issues in the United States, based on interviews of philanthropists, social justice activists, elected officials, and artists.
"I'm very proud of this award", said Pierre Gervois. "I started interviewing people basically for myself, in order to get a better understanding of American society's fault lines such as systemic racism, gun violence, women's rights, or LGBTQ rights. It was actually looking for material for my paintings. It means a lot to me that these interviews have resonated with so many people and inspired them." Gervois added.
