The excellent 2006 documentary about indie businesses struggling to survive, “Independent America,” will have its television debut on July 4 on the Sundance Channel, the filmmakers announced.

There’s no time yet announced for the broadcast; check your listings closer to the Fourth of July holiday.

We reviewed “Independent America” and highly recommend it. Route 66, which is featured in a few scenes of the film, is a microcosm of what independent businesses across the country are facing today. You can order the DVD here.

Don’t look to rent it from Netflix or Blockbuster; it’s not at either. Instead, check to see whether your indie rental store has it.
