[Applause] There's an African proverb that says, "If you know someone's story, you cannot harm them. " I feel that in my three decades as a filmmaker, a media educator, and a public television producer, director, and executive producer, I've tried to harness the empathy machine that is cinema to center our shared humanity. But in over a century of moving image media, it's done as much damage and destruction as it has good. This can be seen in a range of work from Hollywood's first feature film, 1915's The B ...

They never formally trained yet we expect them to cover thousands households that in ...
