Description

We're  knee deep into our virtual coverage of the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, and are excited to bring you our special documentaries episode! Descendant follows the descendants of Clotilda, the last known slave vessel illegally brought to  America, before, during, and after finding the first remains of the ship. Director Margaret Brown shares not only the emotional, but the environmental issues in historic Africatown (in Southern Alabama where this film takes place), and her own emotional journey in making this film. Free Chol Soo Lee tells the story of a young Korean American immigrant living in San Francisco's Chinatown who gets wrongfully convicted of murder. Directors/Producers Eugene Yi and Julie Ha explain how relevant this story remains today, and the importance of representing Chol Soo Lee with complete honesty. Framing Agnes tells the story of a young trans woman in the 1950's who must choose between being honest, or gaining access to healthcare. Director Chase Joynt and producer Samantha Curley express their excitement in discovering case files from a 1950 gender clinic, the challenges with mixing fiction with nonfiction, and working with an incredible cast of trans actors.You can follow director Margaret Brown on IG & TwitterYou can follow director Eugene Yi on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow director Chase Joynt on IG & TwitterYou can follow producer Samantha Curley on IG & Twitter & FB--Thanks for listening and for your support!
