Summer Unwind: Documentary Film [Summer Unwind 3/3]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rachel Grady - documentary filmmaker of One of Us and Jesus Camp - about the expressive power of documentaries. While fiction and non-fiction literature are powerful creative tools to explore an issue, documentaries have a unique power to portray communities from the inside. And while these portrayals may be uniquely powerful, they can also be uniquely controversial. - What can documentaries achieve that other mediums can’t? - How can documentaries help their audiences explore unfamiliar communities? - How are documentaries suited to exploring religious communities specifically? Tune in to hear a conversation on documentary filmmaking, and for Rachel's recommendations for which documentaries you should watch next.
