This is our final Slamdance Film Festival episode and we're ending it with three documentaries/projects that deal with important international issues.
Petro follows former guerilla Senator Gustavo Petro's bid for president as it divides Colombia, a country yearning for change. Director Sean Mattison and producer Trevor Martin join us to share the unique way they first met Petro as college students in DC, moving to Colombia to shoot this film, and the assassination plots against Petro that caused them to also question their own safety.
Migrant Sea is an immersive, multi-media documentary about Sub-Saharan migrants who now live in Italy. Director Stephane Grasso shares how his issue with media coverage of immigrants inspired this project, how mixed media not only gives the viewer flexibility in experiencing the project as well as the migrant's flexibility in sharing their story, and his hope that this project will take a life beyond him.
Punishment is a documentary set in Norway that follows four inmates in maximum security who choose to participate in a three week Jesuit silent retreat in prison. Director Øystein Mamen explains his difficulty in finding inmates willing to participate in the film, the idea of restorative justice in Norway, and how this film was his way of exploring his own trust in humans, and the good that we have in us.
