2018 Speaker
Los Angeles, California
Janice Engel has made numerous documentaries, non-fiction TV specials and series including:

“Jackson Browne: Going Home”, (Disney, Cable Ace-Award),

“Ted Hawkins Amazing Grace”, (Geffen MCA Universal, Rose D’Or Special Jury Prize)

and the provocative docu-series, “Addicted”, (TLC Discovery, 2011 Prism Award.)

Under her own banner, Two Rivers Productions, she created “What We Carry“, an ongoing, multi-media documentary series dedicated to preserving Holocaust survivors’ stories.
