Artists and Orphans: A True Drama (known in Russian as Артисты и сироты: Настоящая драма) is a 2001 American documentary film documenting a group of American artists traveling to the Republic of Georgia for an art festival, and their subsequent effort to provide humanitarian aid to a group of local orphans. Directed and written by Lianne Klapper McNally,[2] upon its debut in 2001, the Daily Nexus described it as "heart-wrenching and eventually heart-warming,"[3] as well as "short, gritty and brilliantly scored."[3] The film won Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival,[4] and it was nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 74th Academy Awards.[5] Artists and Orphans had won multiple film festival awards by 2002,[6] debuting on television several months later through WE tv.[7]
