A new documentary from Montana PBS and 4:08 Productions offers an intimate look at the life and work of Ivan Doig, the iconic Montana author whose novels and memoirs depict a rugged and authentic American West. Director/co-producer and Montana native Nic Davis (Enormous: The Gorge Story and founder of 4:08 Productions) had this to say about creating the documentary: “Ivan’s life—like his work—was filled with complexity, beauty, hardship and hard work. This film aims to capture these elements, while weaving in what Doig called ‘the poetry under the prose.’ We hope it honors the legacy it left behind.”
