From National Geographic's exploration of the sea in " Ocean with David Attenborough," to Hulu's documentation of the life of Sly Stone in " Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)" and ESPN's ongoing "30 for 30" series, the CCDA honors a wide range of topics, bringing together leading filmmakers and industry professionals from all circles.
